Adjusting the position of the projected image
To adjust the positions of the projector and the screen, use LENS SHIFT button.
1. Press the LENS SHIFT button.
•	The LENS SHIFT menu appears at the center of the screen.
2. Press the , ,  or  button to move the image position.
•	When the  button is pressed, the image moves down.
•	When the  button is pressed, the image moves up.
•	When the  button is pressed, the image moves to the right.
•	When the  button is pressed, the image moves to the left.
•	 When	the	ENTER	button	is	pressed	while	the	LENS	SHIFT	menu	is	displayed,	the	shift	mode	can	be	switched	
between FAST and STEP. When FAST is selected, the lens shifts in a large amount with the , ,  or  button, 
and it shifts in a small amount when STEP is selected.
•	 When	the	LENS	SHIFT	menu	is	displayed	while	no	video	signal	is	input	to	the	projector,	a	crosshatch	appears	on	
the entire screen.
•	 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.
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 16 or 22 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.
To adjust keystone: 
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).

Important:
•	 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 30.)
•	When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is ind\
icated. 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. 
•	 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. 
•	 When	horizontal	and	vertical	keystone	adjustments	are	performed	in	combination,	the	adjustable	range	becomes	
narrower than in the case when they are performed separately.
•	 In	the	keystone	adjustment	with	the	option	lens,	the	proper	aspect	ratio	may	not	be	obtained.
