Adjusting the projection angle
For the best projection, project images on a fl at screen installed at 90 degrees to the fl oor. If necessary, tilt the 
projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.
1.  Rotate the adjustment feet for fi ne adjustment.
After using the projector:
2.  Put the adjustment feet back into the projedtor by rotating the adjustment feet. 
When fi ne 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 15 or 20 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.

•  The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation 
conditions. 
•  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.
•  Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being 
projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in 
the range where the image is displayed without noise. 
•  In the keystone adjustment with the option lens, the proper aspect ratio may not be obtained.
