3Select [B-width], and then specify the width of area B.
Adjust the width of area B to roughly match the area where the black level is 
noticeable.
This will make the width of area D narrower.
4Select [Adjustment type] > [Black level]. Adjust [B-area base] as you 
watch the image.
5As you watch the image, adjust the width of areas A, B, and C.
6Readjust the black level of area B, as needed.
To reduce distracting colors and colors that are out of alignment in areas where the images 
overlap, perform [Color blending adjustment] targeting the main tone in the envisaged projected 
image.
■Corner Adjustment
Projected images from multiple projectors used in overlapping projection must be 
precisely repositioned. Positions of each corner in the blending area can be aligned 
with the blending area of the reference projector.
1On the reference projector, configure keystone (P89) and edge-blending 
(P91) settings, and then set the edge-blending markers to [On] (P158).
2In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending] > [Adjust] > [Corner adjustment].
Results of adjusting the black level of area B are applied to all sides.
If you perform adjustments using [Color blending adjustment] or other menus, that may 
not eliminate the distracting colors and differences in brightness in areas where the 
images overlap.
Blending can be fine-tuned by adjusting [Adjustment type] > [Black level] > [Red], 
[Green], and [Blue].
• First, complete [Side] adjustment as described in “Basic Instructions” (P158).
• Sides set to an edge-blending width of 12 or more can be adjusted when [Keystone] is 
set to [Corner adjustment] and the aspect ratio is [16:10].
• To reset adjustment, use [Keystone] (P89).
• A small edge-blending width may limit the amount of adjustment available.

3Select a point to adjust, and move it so that the image as a whole looks 
symmetrical.
4As you watch the projected images, fine-tune markers of the projector 
you are adjusting so that they overlap the reference projector markers as 
much as possible.
5Set the reference projector’s edge-blending markers to [Off] (P158).
Adjust positions of each of the four corners in 
the overlapping area. Correcting the position of 
one point will also move the point on the 
opposite side of the overlapping area, so that 
the screen as a whole is corrected.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Projector
Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from settling on the surface.
A dirty lens may ruin the quality of the projected image.
Wipe the projector’s main unit softly with a soft cloth.
If the projector is heavily soiled, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of 
detergent in it, squeeze the cloth thoroughly, and then wipe the projector with it. 
After cleaning, wipe the projector with a dry cloth.
Request Internal Cleaning Regularly
Dust that accumulates over long periods without cleaning may eventually cause fire 
or electric shock. Once a year, request internal cleaning from the Canon Customer 
Support Center. (Note that a fee is charged.) Cleaning before damp, rainy seasons 
is especially effective.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The following screen is displayed when turning on the projector if the air filter needs 
to be cleaned. Clean the air filter if it is displayed.
Before cleaning the projector, always turn it off, unplug it after the 
cooling fan stops, and wait at least one hour. Otherwise, you may get 
burned because the main unit is very hot immediately after the 
projector is turned off. 
• Never use volatile cleaning liquid or benzine, as 
these may damage the finish of the projector.
• When using a chemical dust cloth, make sure to 
read the instructions thoroughly.
• When cleaning the projector’s lens, use a 
commonly available air blower or lens cleaning 
paper. The lens surface is easily damaged, so do 
not use a hard cloth or tissues.
The air filter protects the lens and mirror inside the projector from 
dust and dirt. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the 
projector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the 
projector and raise the internal temperature of the projector.
• Only the [ ], [ ], OK and POWER buttons are 
available while this screen is displayed. (When you 
press the POWER button, the “Push POWER button 
again to turn off power.” message appears.)
• When this screen has disappeared after being 
displayed for 10 seconds, all buttons become operable.

Replacement Lamp
This projector uses the following lamps.
Lamp part no.: RS-LP08
Contact the Canon Customer Support Center when purchasing a replacement 
lamp.
• Lamps are more likely to rupture once the lamp replacement 
message has been displayed. Replace the lamp with a new one as 
soon as possible.
• Lamps should be replaced about every 3,000 hours. Note that there 
is no guarantee about how long lamps will last.
• Useful life of lamps varies widely from lamp to lamp and depending 
on the environment of use. Some lamps may fail or rupture soon 
after they are first used.
• Dispose of used lamps in accordance with local regulations.
Precautions when replacing lamps that stop working
If the illumination suddenly stops when the projector is in use or after 
you turn it on, the lamp may be broken. In this case, never attempt to 
replace the lamp by yourself. Always request service from the Canon 
Customer Support Center. Additionally, with ceiling-mounted 
projectors, the lamp may fall out when you open the lamp cover or 
while you are attempting to replace it. During replacement, stand to the 
side of the lamp cover, not directly under it. If the lamp breaks and any 
glass shards or other pieces get in your eyes or mouth, consult a 
doctor immediately.
Before replacing the lamp, always turn off the projector, unplug it after 
the cooling fan stops, and wait at least one hour. Do not touch the 
lamp immediately after turning the projector off. It is very hot initially 
and poses a risk of burns.
