Basic Operations
Adjusting the Screen Image
You can adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible picture.
The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. 
(Setup Guide)
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 1.35 
times the normal size.
If you would like to enlarge the image further, 
move the projector further away from the screen. 
(Setup Guide)
The projector should be as perpendicular to the screen as possible.
If the projector cannot be set up so that it is exactly perpendicular to the screen, it can be set up so that it is 
tilting slightly horizontally or vertically. To tilt the projector upward, adjust the front adjustable foot to tilt the 
projector at an angle of up to a maximum 12°. 
ProcedureWhile pressing the foot adjust button, 
lift up the front of the projector so that 
the front adjustable foot can extend.
Extend the front adjustable foot until the desired 
angle is obtained, and then release the foot adjust 
button.
To retract the foot, press and hold the foot adjust 
button and gently lower the projector.
Adjusting the Image Size
If a computer is connected, you can press the [Resize] button 
on the projectors control panel or on the remote control to 
switch between the real display and resized display.
•
•• •Resized display (default): 
The images are processed so that they automatically fill the 
whole of the projection area, regardless of the resolution 
setting.
•
•• •Normal sized display (window display): 
The images are projected at the same resolution that they are 
input. The image size and the projection area may be different 
depending on the resolution.

When the projector is set up at an angle, keystone distortion may appear in the projected images. If the 
projector is adjusted to within a range of approximately 30° vertically or 10° horizontally, the keystone 
correction function can be used to adjust this keystone distortion. 
The values given here are for when the image is at the smallest zoom setting (telephoto). The maximum 
angles  will be smaller if the zoom setting has been increased in the wide angle direction. Furthermore, if the 
projector has been tilted both vertically and horizontally, the maximum adjustable angle will again be smaller 
than the maximum angle if the projector had been tilted in only one direction.
•
•• •When tilted vertically
•
•• •When tilted horizontally
•
•• •When the foot is adjusted, it may cause the projected images to become distorted. Use the 
keystone correction function to adjust this distor tion. 
•
•• •If the projector is tilted horizontally, turn the rear adjustable foot to adjust the angle.

Basic Operations
Procedure
 
Procedure to follow if using both horizontal and vertical keystone correction:
1. With the front adjustable foot retracted, set the projector so that it is fully horizontal.
2. Extend the front adjustable foot to adjust the angle as necessary.
3. Adjust the vertical keystone distortion until both sides of the picture are vertical.
4. Adjust the horizontal keystone distortion until the top and bottom edges of the picture are both horizontal.
•
•• •When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.
•
•• •The keystone correction settings are memorized, so that if you change the position or angle of 
the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone correction settings.
To return a previous keystone correction to the initial setting, carry out the following operations.
To initalize vertical keystone correction: While holding down the   button, press the   button 
for 1 second or more.
To initalize horizontal keystone correction: While holding down the   button, press the   
button for 1 second or more.
•
•• •If there is any noticeable irregularity in the projected images after keystone correction has been 
carried out, reduce the sharpness. (p.21, 22)
•
•• •Keystone correction can also be carried out using the projector’s environment setting menu. 
(p.23)
•
•• •If you carry out both horizontal and vertical keystone correction, the correction range will 
become smaller than it would be if only one type of correction was carried out.
•
•• •If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when horizontal or vertical 
keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for horizontal or vertical 
keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector has not been set up at an 
angle which exceeds the proper limit. (p.12)
•
•• •If the horizontal (or vertical) keystone correction function is used at the same time that the E-
Zoom or P in P function is being used, the keystone correction amount may change when the E-
Zoom or P in P function is operated while the keystone correction amount is near the limit value.
•
•• •The limit value for keystone correction will vary depending on the image signal being input.
Press the   or   button 
on the projectors control 
panel to adjust.

Adjusting the Image Quality
The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows.
Turn the focus ring to adjust the image 
focus.
The following five color modes have been preset for use with images with varying characteristics. You can 
use these color modes to obtain the optimum image quality easily, just by selecting whichever color mode 
best suits the images. The brightness of the projected images will vary depending on the mode.
ProcedurePress buttons [1] to [5] on the remote 
control to select the color mode.
Focusing the Screen Image
•
•• •If the surface of the lens is dir ty 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.46)
•
•• •If the distance from the projector to the 
screen is less than 0.9 m (3.0 ft.), the 
focus will not be correct. Check the 
distance between the projector and the 
screen.
Selecting the Color Mode
