Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:    
■To focus or zoom your image, see below. 
■If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See 
page 43.
■If the image isn’t square, see page 44.
■If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 46. 
If you want to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see Chapter 4.
Focusing and Zooming Your Image
Use the Focus buttons on the remote control (or on the projector) to 
sharpen the image. 
Use the 
Zoom buttons to reduce or enlarge the image.
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the 
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the 
E-Zoom 
buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. 
See page 57 for instructions. 
note
The Focus and Zoom 
buttons won’t work when 
the wide-angle rear 
projection lens is installed.

Adjusting the Height of Your Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can raise it using the Lens 
Shift buttons. This is the best method for adjusting the height of the 
image. If you need to raise the image further, you can tilt the projector 
upward by extending the feet. 
Using the Lens Shift 
To raise or lower the image, use the Lens Shift buttons on the remote 
control (or on the projector). 
Raising the Projector’s Feet
If you need to raise the image further, you can incline the projector:
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release buttons on each 
side and lift the front of the projector. 
note
The Lens Shift buttons 
won’t work when the 
wide-angle rear projection 
lens is installed.

							44Displaying and Adjusting the Image2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the 
buttons to lock the feet in position.
3. If necessary, you can level the picture or fine-tune the height by 
turning the projector feet. 
Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,” but 
you can manually correct the shape as described in the next section.
Adjusting the Image Shape
In most cases, you can maintain a square or rectangular image by 
placing the projector directly in front of the center of the screen and 
using the Lens Shift (instead of tilting the projector upward) to adjust 
the image height. 
If this isn’t possible, use one of these methods to correct the image 
shape: 
■If the image tapers inward on the right and left sides only, use 
Keystone correction as described below. 
■If the image looks uneven on all sides, you can adjust its shape 
using QuickCorner (see page 45). 
You cannot use both Keystone correction and QuickCorner at the 
same time. 
Using Keystone Correction
To adjust your image when the right and left sides are uneven, do one 
of the following:
■Use the Keystone buttons on the projector’s control panel to 
adjust the image shape. 
Projector foot
note
The image will be slightly 
shorter after adjusting. If it’s 
important to maintain the 
correct aspect ratio, use the 
menu system to perform 
Keystone correction, then 
adjust the Height setting as 
needed (see page 45).

							Displaying and Adjusting the Image45
■Or press the Menu button on the remote control, 
select the 
Setting menu, and press Enter. From 
the Setting menu, select 
Keystone and press 
Enter. Then select V-Keystone and press Enter. 
Adjust the setting as needed. 
When corrected, the image will be slightly 
shorter. If necessary, you can stretch the image to 
its proper size using the 
Height setting. 
Using QuickCorner
Use QuickCorner to correct the image shape when it’s uneven on all 
sides. 
1. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control (or on the 
projector’s control panel).
2. Select the 
Setting menu and press Enter. 
3. From the Setting menu, select 
Keystone and press Enter. 
4. Select 
Quick Corner and press Enter.
You see this screen:
5. Press the 
Enter button to select the corner you want to adjust.
6. Use the  pointer button on the remote control (or the arrow 
buttons on the projector) to adjust the shape. 
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as needed to adjust any remaining corners. 
8. When done, press 
ESC to exit the menu system.

Correcting Computer Images
If you’ve connected a computer and the image doesn’t look right, or it 
doesn’t fit properly on the screen, press the 
Auto button on the 
remote control (or the 
Auto/Enter button on the projector’s 
control panel). This automatically resets the projector’s tracking, sync, 
resolution, and position settings. 
note
You must be projecting an 
image for this button to have 
any effect. The 
Auto button 
works only with computer 
images.

Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended 
procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and 
protects the projector from possible overheating. 
1. If you’ve connected a computer or notebook, shut it down first; 
otherwise you may not be able to see your computer’s display to 
shut it down properly. 
2. To turn off the projector, press the red 
Power button on the 
projector or remote control. 
You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off, 
press any other button.)
3. Press the 
Power button again. The power light flashes orange for 
about a minute as the projector cools down. After the projector 
has cooled, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan shuts off.
If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange 
light stops flashing. Then press the 
Power button.
4. Turn off and disconnect any equipment plugged into the 
projector.
5. If you extended the feet, press the side buttons to retract them.
6. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord.
note
When the projector has not 
received any input signals 
for 30 minutes, it 
automatically turns off the 
projector lamp and enters 
“sleep mode.” This conserves 
electricity, cools the 
projector, and extends the 
life of the lamp. If you want 
to start projecting again, 
press the Power button. If 
you are done using the 
projector, unplug the power 
cord. To turn off sleep mode, 
see page 77. If 
Standby 
Mode
 has been set to 
Network ON (see page 76), 
the lamp will turn off but 
the projector will not go into 
full sleep mode.

Giving Your Presentation
The projector includes a number of tools to enhance your 
presentation. All of them can be accessed using the remote control, 
which lets you operate the projector from anywhere in the room—up 
to 30 feet away. 
You can use the remote control to adjust the picture and sound 
(page 55), or as a pointer or drawing tool to highlight your 
presentation (page 60). You can also use it as a wireless mouse (with 
an optional USB cable) when projecting from a computer (page 62); 
this lets you easily change slides, for example, when giving 
presentations. 
To further enhance your presentation, you can create a customized 
screen to display a picture or company logo (page 63), and then use it 
as the startup screen or the screen you see when you press the 
A/V Mute button. 
This chapter covers:
■Preparing and using the remote control
■Controlling the picture and sound
■Highlighting your presentation
■Operating your computer with the remote control
■Creating your own startup screen

Preparing and Using the Remote 
Control
The remote control has an on/off switch on its side, as shown. Before 
using the remote, make sure batteries are installed as described on 
page 54, then push up the R/C on/off switch to turn it on. 
Turn off the remote control before transporting or storing it; this 
prevents the batteries from discharging if something presses against 
one of the buttons. 
Here are some additional tips:
■Point the remote control either at the front or back of the 
projector, or at the screen.
■Stand within about 30 feet of the projector. If you want to operate 
the projector from a greater distance, a remote control cable set is 
available (see page 14).
■When presenting in a darkened room, press the  light button to 
make the buttons on the remote light up temporarily. 
■Avoid using the remote under bright fluorescent lamps or in 
direct sunlight, or the projector may not respond properly.
On/off switch
note
If the  pointer button is 
pressed longer than 10 
seconds, the remote control 
stops operating to conserve 
power. Releasing the button 
resumes normal operation.
