It may cause electric shock. • When you move the projector, turn off the power, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and then remove the connected cords. Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged, resulting in fire or electric shock. • If dust or metallic substance is on or around the pins of the power plug, unplug the power cord and clean it using a dry cloth. If you continue to use the projector without cleaning, it may result in fire or electric shock. Clean the power plug periodically at least once a year. • Be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the projector will not be used for a long period of time. Otherwise, it may cause fire. Important: • When Standby Mode of the Efficient Mode menu in the Installation menu is set to Speaker Out or Monitor Out, the fans rotate at very low speed during standby after plugging the power cord (with 5 second high speed rotation at the beginning) and after turning off the lamp. This is to cool down the projector operating various functions during standby and is not a malfunction. (When Standby Mode is set to Low or LAN, the fans stop during standby.) 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.
EN-15 Adjustment of the projection angle 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. Using the adjustment feet (front) 1. Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle. 2. Rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment. Important: • Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor. • Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left) or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up to 7 degrees using the adjustment feet only. • Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen.

In such cases, correct the keystone manually. Preparation (continued) • When the projector is projecting images where acceleration is present, such as in a vehicle and aircraft, the automatic keystone adjustment may not function correctly. In such a case, set Auto Keystone in the Installation menu to Off and correct the keystone manually. • You can correct the vertical keystones. However, their adjustment 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 condition, input signal and aspect settings in MENU. • 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 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. • 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 carried out, the menu display is distorted. To relieve such symptom, set Menu Position in the Installation menu to Center.
