Setting up the screen
Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the
projection angle of the projector. (See below.)
•Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the same height and horizontal
position of the screen center.
•Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the
screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view.
Basic setup
Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the images to be projected. (See
Pages 12 and 13.)
•Do not place this projector on a carpet or blanket because the exhaust vent and the intake vent on the bottom
surface are blocked and the inside of the projector is heated, causing a breakdown or fire.
•Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may flow into the
intake vent, causing the projector to display “OVER TEMPERATURE” and then stop projecting images. In
such a case, attach the cushion that comes with the projector to the bottom surface of the projector as shown
below.
Adjusting the projection angle
This projector is provided with four feet for
adjusting the projection angle on the bottom
surface. Adjust the projection angle depending on
the position of the projector. (Turn the feet for
adjusting the projection angle to the left or right to
adjust their length.)
When projected images are distorted to a
trapezoid:
When the screen and the projector are not placed
perpendicularly to each other,  projected images
become trapezoidal. If you cannot make the
projector and the screen perpendicular to each
other by mechanical adjustments, adjust
KEYSTONE in the INSTALLATION menu. (See
Page 25.)•When the keystone adjustment is applied, the
correct aspect ratio may not be obtained.
•To secure the correct aspect ratio, use the
projector with its lens centered as much as
possible. However, the correct aspect ratio may
not be obtained even though the lens is centered.
•When the keystone adjustment is applied, the
resolution lowers. In addition, vertical stripes
appear and straight lines bend in images with
complicated patterns. To prevent such symptoms,
keep the screen and the projector perpendicular
to each other as much as possible.
•Though the projected image may be distorted
momentarily when you change the setting value
of the keystone adjustment, such symptom is not
a malfunction.
•Though the projected image may be distorted
depending on the setting value of the keystone
adjustment and the type of the input signal, such
symptom is not a malfunction. In such a case,
adjust the setting value within the range where
the projected image is not distorted.
•The setting value displayed at the time of the
keystone adjustment may vary depending on the
type of the input signal.

Connecting to video equipment having a DVI-D terminal
You can project high-quality images by connecting the DVI terminal of this projector to video equipment having a
DVI-D output terminal. In addition, this projector supports HDCP and is able to receive encrypted digital video
data that are output from DVD players.
•For connection to the DVI terminal, use a commercially available DVI cable.
•Select DVI-DIGITAL as the input source.
•Only RGB signals are supported. Component video signals are not supported.
•HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), developed by Intel Corporation, is a method to encrypt
digital video data for the purpose of copy protection.
•When DVI-D is selected as the input source, setting of COLOR, TINT, SET UP, TRACKING, H.PPSITION,
V.POSITION and FINE SYNC. is unavailable.
When you connect this projector and a DVI-Digital device (such as a DVD player) via the DVI
terminal, black color may appear light and pale, depending on the type of the connected device.
•This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are two kinds of methods to digitally
transfer image data, in which different black level settings are employed respectively. Therefore, the
specifications of the signals output from DVD players differ, depending on the type of the digital data transfer
method they use.
•Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output DVI-Digital signals. When
your DVD player is provided with such function, set it as follows.
NORMAL ➔ EXPAND or ENHANCED
•See the users guide of your DVD player for details.
•When your DVD player does not have such function, set BRIGHTNESS of this projector to -7. When you
have more than one DVD player, it is convenient to store the image quality settings for each DVD player in
the memory.
