Correcting trapezoidal distortion of the projected image (Keystone feature)

Normally the Keystone feature automatically adjusts the projected image. The Keystone feature may not work automatically if the screen is tilted. In this case, set Keystone manually.

1 Press the KEYSTONE key on the remote

commander or select V Keystone in the Installation menu.

2 Use the V/v/B/b keys to set the value. The

higher the value, narrower the top of the projected image. The lower the value, the narrower the bottom.

Note

Since the Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction, the image may be deteriorated.

Increase the number towards plus

Increase the number towards minus

Displaying a pattern

You can display a pattern for adjusting the projected image or a grid pattern with the PATTERN key on the remote commander. Press the PATTERN key again to restore the previous image.
