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

automatically under the same conditions that were previously adjusted.
■ Performing the Au to PC Function
Press the AUTO PC button to perform projector adjustment.
Adjusting the Image Size
To adjust the image size, turn the lever  on the projection lens. Change the projector 
installation position ( P128) 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]. ( P86)
• If adjustment is insufficient even when using the above operation, adjust [Total dots],  [Tracking], [Horizontal position], [Vertical position], [Horizontal pixels] and [Vertical
