Adjusting the Screen ImageYou can correct and adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible 
picture.Adjusting the Image Size
The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance 
from the projector to the screen. 
 p.14
The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the 
projector itself has been set up.
PROCEDURETurn the zoom ring on the projector to adjust the image.
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. 
 p.14
Focusing the Screen Image
PROCEDURETurn the focus ring to adjust the image focus.
TIP
The E-Zoom function lets you enlarge parts of the image. 
 p.43

Focus ringTIP
 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.   p.67, p.74
 If the projector is positioned outside the normal projecting range of 
89–1050 cm (2.9–34.4 ft.), it may not be possible to obtain the correct 
focus. If you have trouble obtaining the correct focus, check the 
projection distance.

Adjusting the Screen ImageAdjusting the Image Angle and Automatic Keystone Correction Function
The projector should be set up so that it is as perpendicular to the screen as 
possible.
If it is not possible to set up the projector so that it is perpendicular to the 
screen, it can be set up at a slight vertical angle instead. You can extend or 
retract the front adjustable feet to adjust the upward projection angle 
within a maximum range of 10°.
When the projector is tilted vertically, it will cause keystone distortion to 
appear in the image. However, the projector is equipped with an automatic 
keystone correction function that can automatically correct this keystone distortion as long as the vertical angle of tilt is within a range of 
approximately 15º *. Automatic keystone correction is carried out 
approximately one second after the projectors power is turned on and the 
projector has been positioned.
* This value applies when the zoom ring is turned to the maximum T 
setting. If the zoom ring is turned to the W setting, the available angle 
of tilt for automatic adjustment will become smaller.Seen from the side

Adjusting the Screen Image
PROCEDUREWhile pressing the two foot adjust buttons at either side, 
lift up the front of the projector so that the front adjustable 
feet can extend.
Extend the front adjustable feet until the desired angle is obtained, 
and then release the foot adjust buttons. 
To retract the front adjustable feet, gently push down on the projector 
while pressing the two foot adjust buttons.
TIP
 Automatic keystone correction is not carried out when the Rear or 
Ceiling commands in the Advanced menu are set to ON.
 If you would like to make further adjustments after automatic 
keystone correction has been carried out, you can use the [keystone] 
button on the projectors control panel. 
 p.34
 When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will 
become smaller.
 If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction 
is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting.   p.45, p.47
 If automatic keystone correction is not required, set Auto 
Keystone in the Setting menu to OFF.

Adjusting the Screen ImageManually Correcting Keystone Distortion
The projector is provided with an automatic keystone correction function 
which detects the vertical angle of the projector and carries out keystone 
correction automatically. If further correction adjustment is required after 
automatic keystone correction has been carried out, use the [Keystone] 
buttons on the projectors control panel to make the adjustment.PROCEDURE
Projector Projector If the bottom of the 
image is elongatedIf the top of the

TIP
 When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will 
become smaller.
 If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone 
correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting. 
 p.45, p.47
 Keystone correction can also be carried out using the configuration 
menu. 
 p.50
 If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing 
when keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the 
limit for keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the 
projector has not been set up at an angle which exceeds the proper 
limit.

Adjusting the Image QualityThe quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows.Adjusting Computer Images
Automatic setup detects the status of the signals coming from the 
connected computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the 
optimum images can be obtained. It involves adjustment of the following 
three items: optimum images can be obtained. It involves adjustment of the 
following three items:
Tracking
, Position and Sync
.
Automatic Setup
TIP
 If Auto Setup in the Video menu is set to OFF (the default 
setting for this item is ON), automatic setup is not carried out. If 
you press the [Auto] button on the remote control while computer 
signals are being projected, adjustment will then be carried out. If you press the [Auto] button while the E-Zoom or Freeze function is 
being used or while a configuration menu or help menu is being 
displayed, the function will be cancelled when you press the [Auto] 
button, and then the adjustment will be carried out.  Sometimes the signals may not be adjusted correctly depending on 
the type of signals being output by the computer. In such cases, use 
the configuration menu commands to adjust the tracking and sync 
settings manually.   p.36, p.37

TIP
 If you adjust the sync without adjusting the tracking first, it will not 
be possible to get the best adjustment results. Incorrect tracking 
adjustment may not be noticeable with some types of picture. 
However, pictures with lots of lines and shading will tend to show 
incorrect tracking adjustments more clearly, so be sure to check the 
tracking adjustment first.
 It may also be possible to fix flickering and fuzziness by adjusting 
the brightness, contrast
 , sharpness and keystone correction 
settings.
