Important:
•For proper keystone adjustment results, reset the lens to the factory-adjusted position using LENS SHIFT RESET in the INSTALLATION menu before carrying out keystone adjustment. (See page 24.)
•When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean a projection angle.
•The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation conditions.
•When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions.
•When the keystone adjustment is performed, the displayed image may be distorted.
•Depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen, a perfect rectangular image and the proper aspect ratio may not be obtained.
•Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is displayed without noise.
•When horizontal and vertical keystone adjustments are performed in combination, the adjustable range becomes narrower than in the case when they are performed separately.
•In the keystone adjustment with the option lens, the proper aspect ratio may not be obtained.
