Adjusting the Display Adjusting the DisplayAdjusting the projection sizeThe size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from 
the projector to the screen. See “
Projection distance and screen size
” on 
page 12
.
1Press the [Wide] or [Tele] buttons on the control panel to adjust 
the projection size.
[Wide]: increase the size
[Tele]:   reduces the size
The image can be enlarged in this way to 1.2 times the normal size.
If you would like to enlarge the image further, move the projector 
further away from the screen.
Setting the focusTurn the focus ring to adjust the image focus.

 If the surface of the lens is dirty, or misted over as a result of 
condensation, it may not be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If 
this happens, clean or de-mist the lens. See “
Cleaning the lens
” on 
page 54
.
 If the projector is positioned outside the normal projecting range of 
2.9-36.4 feet (87-1109 cm), it may not be possible to obtain the 
correct focus. If you have trouble obtaining the correct focus, check 
the projection distance.
