Correcting Distortion in the Projected ImageThere are four ways to correct distortion in projected images as below.Automatic correction• Quick Setup
Press the [Quick Setup] button to fit on the screen at an aspect ratio 
of 4:3. 
 Auto V-Keystone
Tilt the projector vertically to automatically correct distortion in the 
vertical direction.Manual correction Quick Corner
This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the 
projected image separately.
 H/V-Keystone
This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and 
vertical directions independently.
The Quick Setup, Quick Corner, Auto V-Keystone and H/V-
Keystone functions project a test pattern onto the screen to correct 
the projected image, so connection to a computer for preparing the 
projector is not required. 
q
• The default setting in the configuration menu is H/V-
Keystone.
 Select Settings - Keystone - Quick Corner to use 
Quick Corner for correction.
 To change the setting from Quick Corner to H/V-Keystone, 
press and hold the [Esc] button on the projector or the 
remote control for about two seconds and display the 
following screen where you can make the change.Reset Quick Corner: Resets the Quick Corner settings.
Switch to H/V-Keystone: Switches the keystone correction method to 
H/V-Keystone. sp.43 
						

							
Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image
17
Automatically Correcting  Distortion (Quick Setup)
Quick Setup automatically corrects dist ortion in the projected image, that 
occurs when the projector is instal led at a tilt to the image projection 
surface, so that the image is projected at  an aspect ratio of 4:3. In the case 
of a screen having an aspect ratio of  4:3, the projected image is corrected 
so that it fits perfectly in the screen.
Refer to  Quick Start Guide  for how to do the operation. Here is how to fit 
the projected image within the screen.
f Fitting projected image pr operly inside the screen
When Quick Setup detects a frame (detecting 3 or more sides, or top 
and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent si des) within the projection area, it 
automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the frame at an 
aspect ratio of 4:3. The frame  means the borders of the screen, 
whiteboard or blackboard.
q
The status after correction by Quick Setup is stored in 
memory even after the projecto r is turned off. When the 
projector is installed at a  fixed position for use, the 
projected image does not need to be corrected once Quick 
Setup has been performed.
When 3 or more sides 
are detected When top and bottom sides, or 2 
adjacent sides are detected *
* When the projector is mounted from  the ceiling, the image will be corrected 
so that the bottom edge of the frame,  such as the screen, fits inside the 
projection area. 
When no border is detected When the frame is 
horizontally long 
						

							Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

Aligning the Projected Image to the Screen (Quick Corner)
This function independently corrects each of the four corners of the 
projected image to align the image with the screen. 
To operate this function on the projectors control panel, set Setting 
menu - Keystone in the configuration menu to QuickCorner. 
A
Press one of [w], [v], [] on the projector. The Quick Corner screen for selecting the four corners is 
displayed.
B
Select the corner to be corrected, and press the 
[Enter] button on the projector or remote control. 
q
 Quick Setup can provide effective correction when the 
borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as 
a white screen with black borders. When protecting 
images on a blackboard, for example, you should stick a 
large-sized sheet of white paper on the blackboard.
 Quick Setup can be used to carry out correction within the 
ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these 
ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly.
Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and 
horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to W, the 
correction range will become narrower than the angles 
given below.
- When correcting to within a border
   Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 20°
- When projecting onto a surface without a border
   Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 15°

C
Correct the position of the corner by the [w], [v], 
[] buttons on the projector or the [h] 
button on the remote control.If the screen below is displayed during the correction, this indicates 
that the correction amount limit has been reached.
D
To exit the correction, press the [Esc] button on the 
projector or remote control.

Changing the Projected ImageYou can change the projected image in the following two ways.
 Changing by Source Search
The projector automatically detects signals being input from 
connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment 
is projected.
 Changing directly
You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input 
port.Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)
You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image 
signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source 
Search] button.
*  EasyMP changes when using EMP-1815. 
Install the wireless LAN unit supplied.
When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning 
this operation.When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the 
[Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

The following screen showing the status of image signals is 
displayed when only the image that the projector is 
currently displaying is available, or when no image signal 
can be found. You can select the input port where the 
connected equipment you want to use is projecting. If no 
operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen 
closes.Using the remote control Using the control panel
