3. Projecting an Image
This chapter describes how to turn on the projector and to project a pic-
ture onto the screen.
z Turning on the Projector
NOTE:
•When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the
main power switch is pushed to the off[O] position. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the projector.
•The projector has two power switches: main power switch and POWER button
(POWER ON and OFF on the remote control)
•The projector has a feature to prevent itself from being used by unauthorized
individuals. To use this feature, register your PC card as a protect key. See Secu-
rity in Projector Options on page 8-23 for more details.
To turn on the main power to the projector,
press the Main Power switch to the ON posi-
tion ( I ).
Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source
is turned on and that your lens hood cap is removed.
Only after you press the ON/STAND BY button on the projector cabinet or
POWER ON button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 seconds will
the power indicator turn to green and the projector become ready to use.
Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)
When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup screen. This
screen gives you the opportunity to select one of the seven menu lan-
guages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Japa-
nese.
To select a menu language, follow these steps:
1. Use the SELECT 
 or  button to select one of the seven languages
for the menu.
2. Press the ENTER button to execute the selection.
3. The Basic menu will be displayed in the language you have selected.
To close the menu, press the CANCEL button.
After this has been done, you can proceed to the advanced menu opera-
tion.
If you want, you can select the menu language later. See Language on
page 8-13.
NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, first turn on the
Main Power switch to ON and use the menu and enable the Auto Start feature.
(See page 8-16.) Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may
occur. This is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.
•If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.
*If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector
detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will
not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the
projectors internal components to cool down.
*When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn
on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
*If the lamp fails to light, and if the LAMP indicator 1 or 2 flashes on and
off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power.

v Correcting the Horizontal and Vertical
Keystone Distortion (3D Reform)
Use the 3D Reform feature to correct keystone (trapezoidal) distortion to 
make the top or bottom and the left or right side of the screen longer or
shorter so that the projected image is rectangular.
In the following description, 3D Reform (Cornerstone) correction can be
done with the USB mouse, remote control or cabinet buttons. 
When using the USB mouse connected to the projector
Preparation: Connect the USB mouse to the projector. See page 4-3.
1. Project an image so that the screen is smaller than the area of the
r aster .
2. Pic k up an y one of the cor ners and align the cor ner of the screen with
the one of the image . (The dra wing shows the upper r ight corner.)

Tips on Adjusting Focus 
Optimum focus adjustments can be achieved on the projector by 
paying special attention in a few areas.
Focus adjustment after the projector has warned up to normal
operating temperature is better than doing so when the projector
is cold.
Lens mechanism interacts differently when adjusting focus from 
one direction to the other. 
F or this reason final focus adjustments should be done in a spe-
cific direction. 
For optimum focus, follow the steps below. 
F or the zoom and the lens shift adjustment, perform the normal
procedures. Preparation (Recommended):
Wa
rm up the projector for about 60 minutes.
Adjusting the Focus
1. Practice f ocusing
Use the FOCUS (+) or (-) b utton on the projector or the remote control
to increase or decrease the f ocus values to v erify the accur acy of fo-
cusing.
2. Try optimizing def ocus
Use the FOCUS b utton (-) to decrease the f ocus values until pix el pat-
ter ns are too b lurry to be visib le.
3. Obtain correct f ocus
Use the FOCUS b utton (+) to obtain the best f ocus. Do not use the
FOCUS (-) b utton at this time .
    Finally store the adjustments in memor y.
If y ou adjust be yond the best f ocus point, go bac k to step 2 and repeat
the procedures . Alw ays adjust the f ocus from the negativ e direction
to wards the positiv e direction.
Geometric Correction Tool 
If you use a special shaped screen such as a cylindrical or spherical
screen, a downloadable program, Geometric Correction Tool is avail-
able. This program (Geometric Correction Tool) enables the geometri-
cal distortion correction of an image when projected onto a special
shaped screen with a projecto r.   Additionall y, this pro gram al-
lows control of the projector via a computer.

3. Press the 3D REFORM button on the projector or the KEYSTONE but-
ton on the remote control.
The Cornerstone adjustment screen is displayed.
NOTE: Press the 3D REFORM button to toggle between Cornerstone and Key-stone.
When using the remote control or cabinet buttons:
1. Project an image so that the screen is smaller than the area of the
raster.
2. Pick up any one of the corners and align the corner of the screen with
the one of the image.
6. To complete the procedure, right-click anywhere on the screen.
The confirmation screen is displayed.
7. Left-click on OK.
This completes the Cornerstone adjustment.
*To return the Cornerstone adjustment to the default settings, left-click
on Reset in Step 7.
You can save your Cornerstone changes. The changes are saved when
you turn off the projector. To do so, select [Projector Options] → [Setup] →
[Page 4]. Select the 3D Reform Save check box. This is not selected at the
time of shipment.
* There are limitations of shapes which can be corrected using the Cor-
nerstone adjustment.
When adjusting the Cornerstone beyond these limits, you will get the mes-
sage Out of adjustment range! and no correction can be done. Should
this happen, do the Cornerstone adjustment again within the allowable
range.
* Due to limitations of accuracy within internal processes, there may be
some discrepancy of positions between the mouse cursor and corrected
shape or one corner and the other 3 corners.

NOTE: To return the 3D Reform correction setting values to the factory default,
press and hold the 3D REFORM button on the projector cabinet or the KEYSTONE
button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 seconds.
NOTE: During 3D Reform adjustment, Aspect Ratio and Screen may not be avail-
able. Should this happen, first reset the 3D Reform data and then do each setting.
Second repeat the 3D Reform adjustment. Changing Aspect Ratio and/or Screen
setting can limit 3D Reform in its adjustable range.
The adjustable ranges for 3D Reform are as follows:
Horizontal ........... Max ±30° approx.
Vertical ............... Max ±40° approx.
*The following are conditions at the above maximum angle when all of
the following are met
•Image is projected in Wide (Zoom)
•The lens is positioned at the center (when not, adjustable range in-
creases or decreases)
•Resolution is XGA
Higher resolution than XGA limits 3D Reform in its adjustable range.
•Menu items should be set as follows:
Aspect Ratio ............................... 1.33:1 (4:3)
Screen Type ................................ 1.33:1  (4:3)
•Horizontal and Vertical are adjusted separately.
A combination of both adjustments limits 3D Reform in its adjustable
range.
•When “Native” is selected in “Resolution”, “3D Reform” is not available.

b Optimizing RGB Picture Automatically
Adjusting the Image Using Auto Adjust
Optimizing RGB image automatically
Press the Auto Adjust button to optimize an RGB image automatically.
[Poor picture]
[Normal picture]
Press the AUTO ADJUST or AUTO button to fine-tune the computer im-
age or to remove any ver tical banding that might appear and to reduce

image appears to be shimmering). This function adjusts the clock frequen-
cies that eliminate the horizontal banding in the image. This function also
adjusts the clock phase to reduce video noise, dot interference or cross
talk. (This is evident when part of your image appears to be shimmering.)
This adjustment may be necessary when you connect your computer for
the first time.
NOTE:
•Some signals may not be displayed correctly or take time.
•The Auto Adjust function does not work for component and video signal.
•If the Auto Adjust operation cannot optimize the RGB signal, try to adjust Clock
and Phase manually. See page 8-10.
