or the projectors control panel. Then select Height 
from the Keystone sub-menu of the Setting menu.
The height correction screen will be displayed. See Using the 
Configuration Menus for details on this operation.   p.90
TIP
 When vertical keystone correction is carried out, the projected 
images will become smaller. Use the [Zoom] button to adjust the size 
of the images.   p.43
 If the images become uneven in appearance after vertical keystone 
correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting. 
 p.73, p.76
 If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing 
when vertical keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates 
that the limit for vertical 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 projected images can be adjusted as follows.Adjusting Computer Images
Automatic setup detects analogue RGB signals coming from a connected 
computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum 
images can be obtained.
Automatic setup involves adjustment of the following three items: 
Tracking
, Position and Sync
. 
Automatic Setup
TIP
 If Auto Setup in the Advanced2 menu is set to OFF (the 
default setting for this command is ON), automatic setup is not 
carried out. If you press the [Auto] button on the remote control or 
the [Auto/Enter] button on the projectors control panel while 
computer images (analogue RGB signals) are being projected, 
adjustment will then be carried out.
 If you press the [Auto] button on the remote control or the [Auto/
Enter] button on the projectors control panel while the E-Zoom 
function or Freeze function is active, the active function will be 
cancelled 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 Tracking, Position and Sync. menu commands to make 
the adjustments manually.   p.53, p.54, p.73
 Automatic setup is not carried out while the preview function is 
being used.

Adjusting the Image Quality
If vertical stripes appear in the projected images, 
and this cannot be fixed using automatic setup, 
you will need to adjust the tracking
 manually 
using the following procedure.
PROCEDURETracking adjustment can be carried out using either the projectors 
control panel or the configuration menus. This procedure explains 
how to use the projectors control panel to adjust the tracking.
For adjustment using the configuration menus: 
See Video - Tracking   p.73
Press the following buttons to adjust the tracking value until the 
vertical stripes disappear from the projected images.
Press the [Tracking +] button on the projectors control 
panel.

Adjusting the Image Quality
If flickering, fuzziness or interference appear in 
images that are input from the computer, and this 
cannot be fixed using automatic setup, you will 
need to adjust the sync
 manually using the 
following procedure.
PROCEDURESync adjustment can be carried out using either the projectors 
control panel or the configuration menus. This procedure explains 
how to use the projectors control panel to adjust the sync.
For adjustment using the configuration menus: 
See Video - Sync.   p.73
Press the following buttons to adjust the sync value until the 
flickering, fuzziness or interference disappears from the projected 
images.
Press the [Sync +] button on the projectors control panel.
The sync value increases each time the button is pressed.Press the [Sync -] button on the projectors control panel.
The sync value decreases each time the button is pressed. Adjusting the Sync
Projector
ProjectorTIP
 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 image. 
However, images 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.

Adjusting the Image QualitySelecting the Projection Quality (Colour Mode Selection)
The following five preset colour modes are available for use depending on 
the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily 
obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that 
corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will 
vary depending on which colour mode is selected.
PROCEDURESelecting the colour mode can be carried out using either the remote 
control or the configuration menus. This procedure explains how to 
use the remote control to select the colour mode.
For selecting using the configuration menus

Functions for Enhancing ProjectionThis section describes the various useful functions that can be used to enhance 
presentations.A/V Mute Function
This function momentarily pauses the images and sound.
For example, it can be used when you do not wish to show details of 
operations such as selecting different files while computer images are 
being projected.
However, if you use this function when projecting moving images, the 
images and sound will still continue to be played back by the source, and 
you cannot return to the point where the A/V Mute function was activated.PROCEDUREPress the [A/V Mute] button on either the remote control 
or the projectors control panel.
The images and sound will then be paused.
Press the [A/V Mute] button once more to continue normal 
projection.
You can also continue normal projection by pressing the [ESC] key 
on either the remote control or the projectors control panel.You can use the A/V Mute command in the Setting menu to set 
the screen appearance when the images and sound have been paused 
to any one of the following three settings.   p.80
