Adjusting the Screen Image
If the projector cannot be set up directly in front of the screen, you can 
project images at a horizontal angle to the screen. If keystone distortion 
appears in the images, you can use the projectors Quick Corner function 
to correct this keystone distortion.   p.52
The vertical position of the projection area can be adjusted by moving the 
lens up or down.
PROCEDUREPress the [Lens Shift] buttons on either the remote control 
or the projectors control panel.If you press the [6] button on the remote control or the [ ] button on the

You can extend or retract the front adjustable feet to tilt the projector to 
adjust the upward projection angle within a maximum range of 9º.
PROCEDUREWhile pulling the two foot adjust levers 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 levers.
To retract the front adjustable feet, gently push down on the projector 
while pulling the foot adjust levers. Adjusting the Front Adjustable Feet
TIP
When using the front adjustable feet to adjust the angle of the 
projector, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the images. If 
this happens, you can use the keystone correction function to correct 
keystone distortion. 
 p.52
Foot adjust levers (side)
TIP
If the projector is tilted horizontally, the heights of the front 
adjustable feet at left and right will not match each other. In this case, 
you can either readjust the height using the foot adjust levers, or turn 
the bases of the front adjustable feet to adjust the angle until the 
projector is horizontal.

Adjusting the Screen ImageCorrecting Distortion in the Projection Area (Keystone Correction) 
The projector is equipped with the following two functions for correcting 
keystone distortion. Use whichever function is effective for correcting the 
distortion.
 Quick Corner:
This correction function is used when both horizontal and vertical 
keystone distortion occurs in the projection area to adjust the projection 
area so that it fits the screen exactly.
 Vertical keystone:
This correction function is used when vertical keystone distortion occurs 
in the projection area.
The keystone correction function lets you easily correct keystone 
distortion that has occurred after moving the projector, simply by using 
buttons on the projectors control panel.   p.54The Quick Corner function is operated using the configuration menu.
Correcting Keystone Distortion so that the Projection 
Area Fits the Screen Exactly (Quick Corner)
TIP
 The Quick Corner and V-Keystone correction functions cannot 
both be used together to correct keystone distortion. If you use one 
function to correct keystone distortion, any correction that has been 
applied using the other function will be cancelled.
 The larger the angle of tilt, the poorer the focus of the contours in 
the projected images will become.
 If a large amount of keystone correction is applied, fine details such 
as text characters and lines may go out of focus.
 Keystone corrections that have been applied using the keystone 
correction functions are memorised even when the projectors power 
is turned off. If you have changed the projection position or angle, 
you will need to repeat the correction procedure.
TIP
If the angle of tilt when setting up the projector is within the range 
given below, the Quick Corner function can be used to correct the 
images.
· EMP-9300:Approx.40° vertically, approx.20° horizontally
· EMP-8300:Approx.45° vertically, approx.40° horizontally
However, the applicable angles will become smaller under the 
following conditions.
 If the projector has been tilted both horizontally and vertically
 If an optional projection lens has been fitted
 If the lens position has been shifted or zoom has been set to W

Adjusting the Screen Image
When the correct is complete, press the [Menu] 
button on either the remote control or the projectors 
control panel.
Vertical keystone correction 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 correct keystone distortion.
For adjustment using the configuration menus: 
See Setting - Keystone - V-Keystone   p.85PROCEDURE
TIP
 If you hold down the [Shift] button on the projectors control panel 
while pressing the [Sync +], [Sync -], [Tracking +] and [Tracking -] 
buttons, the units by which the adjustment value changes will 
become greater, so that correction can be carried out more quickly.
 If you press down the [ESC] button on either the remote control or 
the projectors control panel for one second while the Quick Corner 
correction screen is displayed, the correction results will be restored 
to their default values.
 If the message Cannot move anymore. appears on the screen 
while using the Quick Corner function, it means that the limit for 
correction has been reached. Check the following two points.
· Is the projection distance appropriate for the size of the projection 
screen?  p.17
· Is the projector tilted too much?   p.52
 If the input signal is interrupted or a signal that is not supported is 
input while using the Quick Corner function, the correction value at 
that point will be recorded and then the Quick Corner function will 
then be exited.
 If the Quick Corner correction screen is displayed while the E-Zoom 
function is being used, E-Zoom function will be cancelled.4
Correcting Vertical Keystone Distortion (V-Keystone)
TIP
When the angle of inclination of the projector is in the following 
range, the vertical keystone correction can be carried out.
· EMP-9300:Approx. 40° vertically
· EMP-8300:Approx. 45° vertically
However, the applicable angles will become smaller under the 
following conditions.
 If an optional projection lens has been fitted
 If the lens position has been shifted or zoom has been set to W

Adjusting the Screen Image
When vertical keystone correction is carried out, the height of the 
projected images will become shorter. Use the height correction function to 
adjust the height of the projection area.
Adjustments using the height correction function are carried out using the 
configuration menus.
PROCEDURE
Press the [Menu] button on either the remote control 
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.96
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.48
 If the images become uneven in appearance after vertical keystone 
correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting. 
 p.78, p.81
 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.
 If the V-Keystone function is used while any of the following 
functions are in use, the function in use will be cancelled.

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.58, p.59, p.78

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.78
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.
