Auto PC Adjustment
If the image display is shifted or there is flickering of the screen when [Analog PC-1] 
or [Analog PC-2] is selected, press the AUTO PC button to adjust the projector to 
the optimal condition.
The adjustment results will be stored. If the projector is used again with the same 
computer, when the input signal is selected the image will be projected 
automatically under the same conditions that were previously adjusted.
■Performing the Auto PC Function
Press the AUTO PC button to perform projector adjustment.
Adjusting the Image Size (WUX450/WX520)
To adjust the image size, turn the lever on the projection lens. Change the projector 
installation position (P130) if your desired image is too large or too small to adjust it 
with the zoom function.
If the Auto PC adjustment is insufficient, perform the following operations.
• Select the input signal that matches the resolution of the computer from [Input signal 
select]. (P88)
• If adjustment is insufficient even when using the above operation, adjust [Total dots], 
[Tracking], [Horizontal position], [Vertical position], [Horizontal pixels] and [Vertical 
pixels] in [Input signal settings]. (P89 - P91)
• For the signal types supported by the projector, see the table on page 292.

Adjusting the Image Position
Turn the lens shift dials to adjust the projected image vertically or horizontally. 
Called “lens shift,” this adjusts the projected image into position by moving the lens 
up, down, left, or right.
■WUX450/WX520
■WUX400ST/WX450ST
• Instead of adjusting where the image is projected, you can also move the image itself. 
For details, refer to “Specifying Digital Image Shift” (P150).
• You can fine-tune the image position by turning the upper part of the upper lens shift 
dial or the lower part of the lower lens shift dial.
(1) Turning upper lens shift dial clockwise:  Moves the image down.
(2) Turning upper lens shift dial counterclockwise:  Moves the image up.
(3) Turning lower lens shift dial clockwise:  Moves the image left.
(4) Turning lower lens shift dial counterclockwise:  Moves the image right.
For details on lens shift, refer to “Lens Shift Function” (P134).

Step 4 Select an Aspect Ratio (Screen Aspect) Matching the Screen
Select an optimum aspect ratio of the projected image (screen aspect) or an 
optimum screen mode (aspect) according to the aspect ratio of the screen, type of 
input image signal and so on for the projection to make best use of the screen size.
You may need to change the setting depending on the resolution of the computer or 
other AV equipment connected. If the image is not projected with the desired 
aspect ratio, refer to “Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect” on page 
287.
Selecting Screen Aspect
