• The projection screen sizes and projecting distances in the table above are provided only as a guide. Please 
use them as reference during installation.
• The distances are calculated for a projection image of 16:10 aspect ratio
2.6 	Lens Offset and Picture Focus
Lens Offset
The optimum image can be obtained when this projector is place perpendicular to the projection screen. The lens 
offset is fixed to 50%, that means that the projector can be placed either at the top or at the bottom of the picture 
as shown in the below picture.
This unit comes with a vertical offset fixed to +50%. It means that the optimal position of this projector 
is  at  the  bottom  or  top  of  your  screen.  Placing  the  unit  in  one  of  these  positions  prevents  the  use  of 
electronic trapezoidal correction and will give the best picture quality.
If the projector is not installed perpendicularly to the screen, use keystone correction to fulfill your screen. You can 
also use up to +/- 30° up and down keystone correction. Note that using keystone correction, is not recommended 
if you want the best image quality.
Picture Focus
Adjust the picture focus with the focus adjustment tab located on the top cabinet of this unit as shown below.
