Adjusting the position of the projected image
To adjust the position of the projected image on the screen, use the LENS SHIFT dial.
1. Rotate the LENS SHIFT dial inside the top cover of the projector to adjust the image position.
•	 Rotating	the	dial	clockwise	(or	counterclockwise	for	a	ceiling-mount	projector)	moves	the	image	up.	
•	 Rotating	the	dial	counterclockwise	(or	clockwise	for	a	ceiling-mount	projector)	moves	the	image	down.
•	 Be	careful	not	to	be	caught	in	the	opening	in	the	lens	while	the	lens	is	moving.
•	 While	the	lens	shift	is	working,	the	screen	may	flicker.
•	 Projected	images	may	become	distorted,	have	decreased	resolution,	or	have	shadows	at	their	corners	if	they	are	
positioned close to the top (or bottom in the case of a ceiling-mount p\
rojector).
Correcting skewed or distorted image
For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees 
to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the 
bottom of the projector.
1. Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.
2. Rotate the adjustment feet for fine adjustment.
Important:
•	 Don’t	transport	the	projector	with	its	adjustment	feet	extended.	Otherwise	the	
adjustment feet may be damaged. 
When fine streaks are seen on projected images
This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace the screen or displace the focus 
a little. (See page 18 or 23 for focus adjustment.) 
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.
With the INSTALLATION menu:
(See page 29 for menu setting.) 
1. Display the INSTALLATION menu. 
2. Select KEYSTONE by pressing the p or q button. 
3. Equalize the widths at the top and bottom of the screen by pressing the t or 
u button, viewing the screen. 
To cancel the menu:
4. Press the MENU button several times. 
•	 In	the	keystone	adjustment,	you	can	obtain	an	optimum	result	when	the	LENS	SHIFT	dial	is	at	the	center	position.
•	 When	the	keystone	adjustment	is	carried	out,	the	adjustment	value	is	indicated.	Note	that	this	value	doesn’t	mean	
a projection angle. 
•	 When	the	keystone	adjustment	takes	effect,	the	resolution	decreases.	In	addition,	stripes	may	appear	or	straight	
lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions. 
•	 When	the	keystone	adjustment	is	carried	out,	the	image	may	not	be	displayed	correctly	because	of	the	type	of	
input signal.
•	 When	the	keystone	adjustment	is	performed,	the	displayed	image	may	be	distorted.
•	Depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen, a perfect rectangular image and the 
proper aspect ratio may not be obtained.
•	 While	a	3D	image	is	displayed,	the	keystone	adjustment	is	unavailable.

Front projection, ceiling mounting
For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount 
kit designed for this projector. Ask a specialist for 
installation. For details, consult your dealer.
•	 The	warranty	on	this	projector	does	not	cover	any	
damage caused by use of any non-recommended 
ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount 
kit in an improper location.
•	 When	using	the	projector	mounted	on	the	ceiling,	
set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu 
to MIRROR INVERT. See page 32.
•	 When	the	projector	is	mounted	on	the	ceiling,	
images may appear darker than those projected in 
the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product 
malfunction.
•	 Ask	your	installation	specialist	to	provide	an	A/C	
power switch. When you do not use the projector, 
be sure to shut down the main power by the 
switch.
•	 Do	not	install	the	projector	where	the	exhaust	vents	
are exposed to air emitted by an air conditioning. 
Such installation may cause a breakdown.
•	 Do	not	install	the	projector	near	a	fire	alarm	
because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.
Caution:
•	 Installation	must	be	done	by	a	qualified	
professional. 
 When the projector is installed on the ceiling using 
the ceiling mount kit, it is recommended to hold 
the mount kit and the projector using a metal bar 
or wire in addition to the mount kit fixing screws 
to prevent the projector from falling due to an 
earthquake or other cause. For that purpose, use 
a metal bar, wire, or screw that bears a load of at 
least 70 kgf. When using a metal wire, secure one 
end to a screw hole marked with an arrow on the 
rear terminal panel and the other end to the mount 
kit. (Don’t use screw holes without arrow marks.) In 
this case, make sure that the screw is inserted in 
the projector at least 5 mm. The length of the screw 
should be 20 mm or shorter. Also make sure that 
no electrical current is flowing in the mount kit due 
to current leakage or other cause. 
Setting up your projector (continued)
Rear projection
Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult 
your dealer.
•	 For	rear	projection,	set	IMAGE	REVERSE	in	the	
INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR. See page 32.
Caution:
•	 Placing	the	projector	directly	on	a	carpet	impairs	
ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. 
Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate 
ventilation.
•	 Place	the	projector	at	least	50	cm	(or	20	inch)	away	
from the wall to prevent the intake vents and the 
exhaust vents that emit hot air from being blocked.
•	 Do	not	use	the	projector	in	the	following	locations	
and manners, which may cause fire or electric 
shock.
•	 In	a	dusty	or	humid	place.
•	 In	a	sideways	position,	or	with	the	lens	facing	
down.
•	 Near	a	heater.
•	In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.
•	 In	direct	sunlight.
•	 Where	the	temperature	rises	high,	such	as	in	a	
closed car.
•	 Where	the	temperature	is	lower	than	+41ºF	(or	
+5ºC)	or	higher	than	+95ºF	(or	+35ºC	).
•	 Keep	foliage	plants	and	pets	away	from	the	
projector. The temperature around the exhaust 
vents and that of the cabinet on the top of the 
exhaust vents become high. Take special care for 
small children.
Important:
•	We don’t recommend using the projector at an 
altitude of 1500 meters or higher. Use at an altitude of 
1500 meters or higher may affect the projector’s life.

•	 When	this	projector	is	connected	with	an	HDMI	device	supporting	HDCP,	such	as	a	DVD	player,	image	is	not	
displayed correctly at the time of switching the input source on rare occasions. In such cases, switch to other 
input source and then switch back to the HDMI input source.  
•	 When	COMPONENT	is	chosen	as	the	source,	images	supplied	from	the	computer	may	flicker.	Press	the	t or 
u button on the remote control to reduce flicker, if it occurs. (Fine adjustment)
5. Adjust the position of the projector to keep an appropriate projection distance with which images are projected in 
their specified sizes.
6. Adjust the position of the projector so that the projector and the screen are perpendicular to each other. (See page 10.)
•	When the projector cannot be positioned perpendicularly to the screen, adjust the projection angle. (See page 12.)
7. Adjust the image size by turning the zoom ring.
8. Adjust the vertical position of the displayed image by turning the LENS SHIFT dial.
If necessary, adjust the focus and zoom again.

9. Press the POWER button on the projector or the STANDBY () button on the remote control.
•	 A	confirmation	message	is	displayed.
•	 To	cancel	the	procedure,	leave	the	projector	for	a	while	or	press	the	MENU	button.
10. Press the POWER button on the projector or the STANDBY () button on the remote control again.
•	 The	lamp	goes	out	and	the	projector	goes	into	a	standby	mode.	In	this	standby	mode,	the	STATUS	indicator	
blinks green.
11. Wait about 2 minutes.
•	 During	this	period	of	2	minutes	in	the	standby	mode,	the	intake	fan	and	exhaust	fan	rotate	to	cool	the	lamp.
•	 The	lamp	can’t	be	lit	again	for	1	minute	after	turning	off	the	projector	for	safety	purpose.	It	will	take	another	1	
minute for the STATUS indicator to go out. If you want to turn on the projector again, wait until the indicator 
goes out, and then press the POWER button.
•	 The	air	outlet	fans	rotate	faster	as	the	temperature	around	the	projector	rises.
•	 Do	not	unplug	the	power	cord	while	the	STATUS	indicator	is	blinking.	Unplugging	the	power	cord	immediately	
after use may cause a lamp breakdown.
•	 Though	the	fan	makes	loud	sound	during	cooling,	such	symptom	is	not	a	malfunction.
12. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
•	 The	POWER	indicator	will	go	out.
•	 If	the	power	cord	should	be	unplugged	accidentally	while	either	the	air	inlet	fan	or	the	air	outlet	fans	are	
operating or the lamp is on, allow the projector to cool down for 10 minutes with the power off. To light the 
lamp again, press the POWER button. If the lamp doesn’t light up immediately, repeat pressing the POWER 
button two or three times. If it should still fail to light up, replace the lamp.
•	 Cover	the	lens	with	the	lens	cap	to	protect	it	from	dust.
