Using the remote control
Operational range of the remote control
•  Keep the remote control photo-sensor out of direct 
sunlight or fl uorescent lamp light.
•  Keep the remote control photo-sensor at least 2 m 
away from fl uorescent lamps. Otherwise, the remote 
control may malfunction.
•  If there is an inverter-operated fl uorescent lamp 
near the remote control, the remote control opera-
tion may become unstable.
•  When you use the remote control too close to the 
remote control sensor, the remote control may not 
work correctly.
Reception angle
Vertical directions
Vertical directions (ceiling mount) Front of projectorRear of projector
Operate the remote 
control within a distance 
of 10 m from the projector, 
pointing the light beam at 
the remote control photo-
sensor (front or rear) of 
the projector.
When operating the remote control, keep the 
distance from the remote control to the projector 
via the screen within about 7 m. The operable 
range of the remote control, however, depends 
on the characteristics of the screen.
Using the wired remote control
Attached remote control for this projector can be used as a wired remote control with remote control cable. Wired 
remote control is useful for operating in a distance or outside of the operation area.
•  When the remote control is connected with remote control cable, it does not as a wireless remote control.
•  When using the wired remote control, the laser beam may be darker. It is normal.
•  When REMOTE OUT terminal on 
this projector is connected to the 
REMOTE IN terminal on the other 
projector, the two projectors can

Setting up your projector
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 refl ecting 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 
page 12.) 
•  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 fi re. 
•  Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may fl ow into the intake 
vent, causing the projector to display “TEMPERATURE!!” and then stop projecting images. 
Adjusting the projection angle
This projector is provided with 2 feet for adjusting 
the projection angle on the bottom surface. Adjust 
the projection angle depending on the position of 
the projector. 
Adjustment of 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 2 adjustment feet 
on the bottom of the projector. 
1.  Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle. 
2.  Rotate the adjustment feet for fi ne adjustment.
After using the projector:
3.  Put the adjustment feet back into the projector 
by rotating the adjustment feet.
•  You can adjust the vertical and horizontal position 
of the displayed image using the LENS SHIFT but-
ton. 
See page 12.
Keystone adjustment
•  To correct vertical and horizontal keystone distor-
tion, press the KEYSTONE button on the projector 
or the remote control to display KEYSTONE, and 
adjust the image by pressing the , , 
 or  
button (or VOLUME + or - button on the remote 
control). •  You can correct the vertical and horizontal key-
stones at the same time. However, their adjust-
ment ranges are limited in such correction. 
•  When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the 
adjustment value is indicated.  Note that this value 
doesn't mean a projection angle. 
•  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.  
•  Noise may appear on the screen during the key-
stone 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. 
•  When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the 
image may not be displayed correctly because of 
the type of input signal.
•  Displayed image may be distorted during keystone 
adjustment. 
•  For proper keystone adjustment results, reset the 
lens to the factory-adjusted position using LENS 
SHIFT RESET in the INSTALLATION menu before 
carrying out keystone adjustment. (See page 23.)
