Adjusting the projector image

Image height

The projector is equipped with elevator feet for adjusting the image height.

1. Locate the adjustable foot you wish to adjust on the underside of the projector.

2. Rotate the adjustable foot clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the projector.

The tilt feet can be used to tilt the projector by a maximum of 8°.

Tilt-Adjustment Feet

Tilt-Adjustment Ring

Note:

• Do not lengthen the tilt feet any more than 28 mm/1.1”. Doing so will make the tilt feet’s mount section

unstable and could cause the tilt feet to come o the projector.

• Do not use the tilt feet for any purpose other than adjusting the projector’s projection angle.
Handling the tilt feet improperly, such as carrying the projector by grasping the tilt feet or hooking it
onto a wall using the tilt feet, could damage the projector.

11

Zoom and focus

• To adjust the image size, turn the zoom ring clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
projected image size.

• To adjust the focus, turn the focus ring clockwise or counterclockwise until the image is sharp and
legible.

Zoom Ring

Focus Ring

Note: When adjusting the focus, adjust it while looking at the entire projection screen to achieve a good balance.

If you focus only on the center of the projection screen, the periphery may become blurred.

Remote setup

Installing / replacing the batteries

Two AAA size manganese batteries are supplied for the remote control.

1. Press firmly and slide the battery cover off.

2. Install new batteries (AAA). Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.

3. Slip the cover back over the batteries until it snaps into place.

Note: Replace only with the same or equivalent type (alkaline or manganese) batteries.

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Do not mix batteries of di󰀨erent types. Di󰀨erent types of batteries have di󰀨erent characteristics.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or
cause chemical leakage in old batteries.

• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries that come in

contact with skin can cause a rash. If you nd any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.

• When you dispose of the batteries, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.

13

Effective range

Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located in front and on top of the projector. Ensure to hold the remote con­trol at an angle within 30° perpendicular to the projector’s IR remote control sensors to function correctly.
The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not be longer than 6 meters (~19 feet).

Note: When pointing the remote control directly (0 degrees angle) on the IR sensor, the distance between the

remote control and the sensor should not be longer than 8 meters (~26 feet).

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector
that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

• Make sure the IR transmitter of the remote control is not being shined by sunlight or uorescent lamps
directly.

• Please keep the remote controller away from uorescent lamps for over 2 m or the remote controller
might become malfunction.

• If the remote control is close to Inverter-Type uorescent lamps, it might become ine󰀨ective from time
to time.

• If the remote control and the projector are within a very short distance, the remote control might

become ine󰀨ective.

• When you aim at the screen, the e󰀨ective distance is less than 5 m from the remote control to the
screen and reecting the IR beams back to the projector. However, the e󰀨ective range might change

according to screens.

Troubleshooting

If you experience a problem with your projector, please refer to the following information. If a problem persists,
please contact your local reseller or service center.

Image problems

No image appears on screen

• Ensure all the cables and power connections are correctly and securely connected as described in the
“Installation” section.

• Ensure the pins of connectors are not crooked or broken.

• Ensure the “Mute” or “AV Mute” features are not turned on.

Image is out of focus

• Turn the focus ring clockwise or counterclockwise until the image is sharp and legible.
(Please see page 11).

• Make sure the projection screen is between the required distances from the projector.
(Please refer to “Image size and projection distance” section).

The image is stretched when displaying 16:9 DVD title

• When playing anamorphic sources or 16:9 sources the projector will display the best image in 16:9
format.

• When playing a Letterbox (LBX) formatted source change the Aspect Ratio to L. Box.

• If you play 4:3 format DVD title, please change the format as 4:3 in projector OSD.

• Please setup the display format as 16:9 (wide) aspect ratio type on your DVD player.

Image is too small or too large

• Turn the zoom ring clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the projected image size.
(Please see page 11).

• Move the projector closer to or further from the screen.

• Press “Menu” on the projector panel, go to “Display → Aspect Ratio”. Try the di󰀨erent settings.

Image has slanted sides:

• If possible, reposition the projector so that it is centered on the screen and below the bottom of the
screen.

• Adjust the vertical or horizontal keystone until the sides are parallel.

Image is reversed

• Select “Setup → Projection” from the OSD and adjust the projection mode.

43

Other problems

The projector stops responding to all controls

• If possible, turn o󰀨 the projector, then unplug the power cord and wait at least 20 seconds before
reconnecting power.

Remote control problems

Maintenance

Cleaning the Lens

WARNING

• Turn off the power, unplug the power plug from the socket for cleaning. If the unit turns on while cleaning the
lens, the strong light from the lens could damage your eyes. It could also burn your fingers.

• Please do not use a spray containing flammable gas to remove dust attached to the lens. Doing so may result
in fires.

You can purchase optic lens cleaner from most camera stores. Refer to the following to clean the projector lens.
Remove the lens cap before wiping the lens.

1. Apply a little optic lens cleaner to a clean soft cloth. (Do not apply the cleaner directly to the lens.)

2. Lightly wipe the lens in a circular motion.

Cleaning the Cabinet

WARNING

• Turn off the projector, and unplug the projector before cleaning.

• Please do not use a spray containing flammable gas to remove dust attached to the cabinet. Doing so may
result in fires.

• Use a dry soft cloth to wipe dust off the cabinet.
If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent.

• Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

• When cleaning the ventilation slits or the speaker using a vacuum cleaner, do not force the brush of the vacuum
cleaner into the slits of the cabinet.

• Clogged ventilation slits may cause a rise in the internal temperature of the projector, resulting in malfunction.

• Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with your fingers or any hard objects

• Contact your dealer for cleaning the inside of the projector.

Note:

• Do not apply volatile agent such as insecticide on the cabinet, the lens, or the screen. Do not leave a rubber or
