Features of the ProjectorThe vertical angle of the projector 
is detected, so that any vertical 
keystone distortion in the projected 
images can be automatically 
corrected.  p.32
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.35
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.38, p.45, p.47

      Normal      Meeting
  Presentation    Theatre    GameThe projector has a compact body with a 
footprint the size of a A4 page (24 (D) × 
31.5 (W) × 8.7 (H) cm (9.45 (D) × 12.4 
(W) × 3.43 (H) in.) and is light in weight 
(approximately 2.9 kg. (6.4 lbs)), making 
it easy to carry.
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.
The accessory remote control can be 
used for operations such as pausing 
projection (see Freeze on   p.41) 
and zooming in on important areas of 
an image (see E-Zoom on   p.43). 
In addition, the remote control can be 
used to move the pointer around on 
the computer screen during projection 
(see Wireless Mouse Function on   p.19). If using the wireless mouse 
function, you can use the remote control to scroll back and forth through 
pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.
