Features of the Projector
Keystone distortion in projected images can be 
corrected easily. 
This makes images appear correctly even when 
the projector has been set up on a tilted vertical 
angle. (p.13)
Cinema filter function
You can boost the quality of films by attaching the cinema filter that is supplied 
with the projector and then changing the Cinema Filter setting in the Video 
menu to ON. This automatically causes video images such as films to be 
projected at the optimum tint.
Automatic setup function
When projecting computer images, the signals from the connected computer are detected 
automatically and adjusted so that the optimum images are projected. Even if several people are 
giving presentations using the same projector, the optimum picture quality can be obtained simply by 
disconnecting and reconnecting the computers.
Each individual setting can also be adjusted manually. (p.16)
Keystone correction function Colour mode function
The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six 
preset settings according to the projection environment being used. No other troublesome colour 
adjustments are necessary. (p.15)
 • sRGB                    Normal              Meeting
  Presentation          Theatre              Game
Brilliant, attractive images
Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions with a high degree of 
luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright environments.
Easy to Operate
The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (see Freeze on 
p.29) and zooming in on important areas of an image (see E-Zoom on p.30).
