projector so that it faces the screen directly.
• Signals are processed digitally when keystone distortion is corrected. The image may 
look different from the original one. In addition, the aspect ratio of the image may 
change.
• Keystone correction is not available for [4:3 D. image shift] or [16:9 D. image shift] 
screen aspects. (P60)
