TIP
 If only one signal source has been connected, the signals from that 
source will be projected without need ing to press any of the buttons 
on the remote control or the projectors control panel.
 If the No Signal. message does not disappear, check the  connections again.
 If a laptop computer or a computer with an LCD screen has been  connected to the projector, the images may not be projected straight 
away. After starting projection, check that the computer has been set 
up to output signals externally.
The following table shows examples of how to toggle output settings. 
For details, refer to the section of the documentation provided with 
your computer under a heading such as External output, 
Connecting an external monitor or similar.
 If the same still picture is projected for a long period of time, the  projected image may become burned in on the computer screen. You 
should avoid leaving the same image displayed for long periods.

Adjusting the Screen ImageThese functions correct and adjust the projected images so that the optimum 
images can be obtained.Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom Function)
The size of the projected image is  basically determined by the distance 
from the projector to the screen.    p.15
The following procedures explain how to  adjust the screen image once the 
projector itself has been set up.PROCEDUREAdjust by turning the zoom ring.
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.15
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.49
Turn to W (wide) to 
enlarge the images.
Zoom ring
Turn to T (tele) to 
reduce the images.
Focus ring
TIP
 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.77, p.83
 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°.
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.

Adjusting the Screen ImageWhen 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 be less.

TIP
 Automatic keystone correction is not carried out when the 
Projection command in the Advanced menu is set to Front.
 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.40
 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.51, p.54
 If automatic keystone correction is not required, set Auto  Keystone in the Setting menu to OFF.    p.58
