signal name is displayed. The result of this switching will also be 
applied to the Computer1 Input, Computer2 Input or BNC Input 
setting in the Setting menu.
*2 The input signal will not change to the next signal source unless the 
[Computer/DVI] button is pressed while the current signal name is still 
being displayed on the screen.
If an input signal from either the [DVI], [Computer 1] or [Computer 2] 
port is currently being projected, the name of this current input signal 
will be displayed on the screen when the [Computer/DVI] button is 
pressed once.
*3 The item selected using the Computer1 Input command in the

Selecting an Image Source While Viewing Projected Images (Preview Function)
The preview function lets you project the images from the currently-
selected image source and view them in a preview screen while selecting 
the signal source.
Use the remote control to carry out all preview function operations.PROCEDURE
Press the [Preview] button on the remote control.
After a short while, a preview screen such as the one shown in 
the illustration below will appear on the screen.
When the preview screen is being displayed, the frames for 
ports that have no image signal being input or which have a 
signal being input that is not supported will be solid blue.
Press the [Source] buttons on the remote control to select the 
image source to be projected in order to change the image.
TIP
 If only one signal source has been connected, the signals from that 
source will be projected without needing to press one of the [Source] 
buttons.
 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 ImageYou can correct and adjust the screen images in order to obtain the best 
possible pictures.Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom Function)
The size of the projected images is basically determined by the distance 
from the projector to the screen.   p.17
The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen images once the 
projector itself has been set up.
PROCEDUREPress the [Zoom] buttons on either the remote control or 
the projectors control panel to adjust the images.
If a standard lens is fitted, the images can be enlarged in this way to 
1.35 times the normal size.
Press the [5] button on the remote control or the [W] (wide) button on 
the projectors control panel to enlarge the images.
Press the [2] button on the remote control or the [T] (tele) button on 
the projectors control panel to reduce the images.
If you would like to enlarge the images further, move the projector 
further away from the screen.   p.17
TIP
 Do not use electronic zoom adjustment (using button operations) if 
the projector is fitted with an optional rear projection wide lens. 
Refer to the documentation for the rear projection wide lens for 
further details.
 The E-Zoom function can also be used to enlarge parts of the 
images.  p.64

Adjusting the Screen ImageFocusing the Screen Images (Focus Adjustment)
PROCEDUREPress the [Focus] buttons on either the remote control or 
the projectors control panel.
Adjusting the Image Angle
If the projector is set up so that it is at a horizontal or vertical angle to the 
screen, adjust as follows.
 You can use the lens shift function to move the lens vertically in order to 
adjust the vertical position of the lens. This can be used at times such as if 
the screen is in a high position or the projector is suspended from a high 
ceiling.  p.50
 If correct adjustment cannot be obtained using the lens shift function, 
extend the front adjustable feet to tilt the projector.   p.51
When the projector is tilted, keystone distortion may appear in the 
projected images. If this happens, you can correct this keystone 
distortion.  p.52
TIP
 Do not use electronic focus adjustment (using button operations) if 
the projector is fitted with an optional rear projection wide lens. 
Refer to the documentation for the rear projection wide lens for 
further details.
 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.123, p.130
