27 Controlling the Projector by a Computer When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub RS-232C adaptor and an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commercially available), the computer can be used to control the projector and check the status of the projector. Refer to the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for details. When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable and a DIN-D-sub RS-232C adaptor Note •The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the operation manual of the computer for details. •Refer to page 4 of the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for “RS-232C Specifica- tions and Commands”. Info •Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This may damage your computer or projector. •Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This may damage your computer. When connecting to the LAN terminal using a LAN cable Note •When connecting to hub, use straight-through Category 5 (CAT.5) type cable (commercially available). •When connecting to computer, use cross-over Category 5 (CAT.5) type cable (commercially available).

Note •RGB signals and Component signals can be output to the monitor. •For this connection, another RGB cable (commercially available) is required. Connecting to an Amplifier or Other Audio Equipment Audio signals input from equipment connected to each audio input terminal of the projector can be output to audio equipment. Note •ø3.5 mm minijack to RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input. •Turn off the power of both the projector and audio equipment when connecting. •When turning off the power in the case of connecting an amplifier or other audio equipment, first turn off the power of the amplifier and then turn off the power of the projector. •By using external audio components, the volume can be amplified for better sound. •For details on Variable Audio Output (VAO) and Fixed Audio Output (FAO), see page 58.
29 Turning the Projector On/Off Info •English is the factory preset language. If you want to change the on-screen display to another language, change the language according to the procedure on page 62. Lamp indicator Power indicator POWER button POWER button ▼On-screen Display Info •Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool- ing fan operation. The cooling fan in this projector contin- ues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector enters the standby mode. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops. Power cordSupplied accessory Connecting the Power Cord Plug the supplied power cord into the AC socket on the rear of the projector. Turning the Projector on Before performing the steps in this section, connect any equipment that you use with the projector. (See pages 23-28.) Remove the lens cap and press on the projector or on the remote control. •The power indicator illuminates red. •After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projec- tor is ready to start operation. •When System Lock is set, the keycode input screen appears. Enter the right keycode to start projection. See page 54 for details. Note •The lamp indicator illuminates or blinks, in- dicating the status of the lamp. Green: The lamp is ready. Blinking green:The lamp is warming up or shutting down. Red: The lamp is shut down abnor- mally or the lamp should be replaced. •When switching on the projector, a slight flicker- ing of the image may be experienced within the first minute after the lamp has been illuminated. This is normal operation as the lamps control circuitry is stabilizing the lamp output charac- teristics. This does not indicate malfunction. •If the projector is put into standby mode and immediately turned on again, the lamp may take some time to illuminate. Turning the Power off (Putting the Projector into Standby Mode) 1Press on the projector or on the remote control, then press that button again while the confir- mation message is displayed, to put the projector into standby mode. 2Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet after the cooling fan stops.
30 Rear adjustment feet Image Projection Front adjustment foot HEIGHT ADJUST button Side View Lens center Top View Using the Adjustment Feet The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet at the front and rear of the projector when the screen is located higher than the projector, the screen is inclined or when the installation site is slightly inclined. Install the projector so that it is as perpen- dicular to the screen as possible. 1Press the HEIGHT ADJUST button. •The front adjustment foot comes out. 2Lift the projector to adjust its height while pressing the HEIGHT ADJUST button. •The projector is adjustable up to approxi- mately 12 degrees (6 steps). •When lowering the projector, it may be difficult to move the front adjustment foot because the installation surface is diffi- cult to slide. In this case, pull the pro- jector back slightly and adjust its height. 3Remove your hand from the HEIGHT ADJUST button of the projector after its height has been finely adjusted. 4Finely adjust the height and in- clination by turning the rear ad- justment feet. •When adjusting the height of the pro- jector, trapezoidal distortion occurs. When “Auto Keystone” of the “Options2” menu is set to “ ” (ON) (see page 57), keystone correction functions automati- cally to correct trapezoidal distortion. When you want to adjust the automati- cally corrected image, use the manual keystone correction. (See page 31.) Info •Do not press the HEIGHT ADJUST button when the front adjustment foot comes out without firmly holding the projector. •Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower- ing the projector. •When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area be- tween the adjustment foot and the projector.

Note •The Manual Keystone Correction can be ad- justed up to an angle of approximately ±35 degrees and the screen can also be set up to an angle of approximately ±35 degrees (when the resize mode is set to “NORMAL” (see page 36)). The screen can also be installed by inclin- ing to that angle. •The Keystone Correction cannot be ad- justed in the lateral direction. •You can use the same settings used in NORMAL mode 4:3 for 16:9. Correcting Trapezoidal Distortion Auto Keystone Correction When the image is projected either from the top or from the bottom towards the screen at an angle, the image becomes distorted trapezoidally. The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion is called Keystone Correction. This projector is equipped with an “Auto Keystone Correction” function that automatically corrects any trapezoidal distortion within the projected im- age. The correction is made automatically provided the vertical incline or decline is within 12 degrees. Note •When not using the Auto Keystone Correc- tion function, set “Auto Keystone” on the “Options2” menu to “ ” (OFF). Manual Keystone Correction When you want to make fine adjustments after the Auto Keystone Correction function has been activated, or when you want to make corrections without using the Auto Keystone Correction function, you can make corrections manually using the following procedure. 1Press on the remote control to enter the Keystone Correction mode. •You can also use on the projector. 2Press ', | or ", \ on the re- mote control to adjust the Key- stone Correction. •You can also adjust the Keystone Cor- rection using the ' '' ' ', | || | | or " "" " ", \ \\ \ \ buttons on the projector. Note •Press to return to the default setting. •Straight lines or the edges of images may appear jagged while adjusting the image. 3Press . •The on-screen display of the Keystone Correction mode will disappear. •You can also use on the projector.
32 Adjusting the Focus This projector is equipped with an “Auto Focus” function that adjusts the focus automatically when it is turned on. When you want to readjust the focus after the Auto Focus function has been activated, you can operate the Auto Focus func- tion using the following procedure. Press on the projector or on the remote control. •The focus is adjusted automatically after the focus pattern is displayed, and the focus pat- tern disappears from the screen. Note •Auto Focus can be performed over a range of 40 to 100 inches. •The ability to adjust the focus automatically depends on the screen conditions and the surrounding brightness. •Adjust the focus manually when the focus is not adjusted with Auto Focus or when you want to make fine adjustments. •When not using the Auto Focus function, set “Auto Focus” on the “Options2” menu to “ ” (OFF).
