 Correcting Keystone Distortion
When the projector is not exactly perpendicular to the screen, keystone distortion occurs. To overcome it, you can use the
Keystone function, a digital technology that can adjust for keystone-type distortion, resulting in a crisp, square image.
The following procedure explains how to use the [Keystone] screen from the menu to correct trapezoidal distortions.
When the projector is placed diagonally to the screen,
When the projector is set up at an angle in relation to the screen, adjust the Horizontal option of the Keystone menu so
that the top and bottom of sides of the projected image are parallel.
1. Press the 3D REFORM button on the remote control or the projector
cabinet.
The Keystone screen will be displayed on the screen.
2. Press the SELECT 
 button to select [Vertical] and then use the
SELECT 
 or  so that the left and right sides of the projected im-
age are parallel.
* Adjust the vertical keystone distortion.
3. Align the left (or right) side of the screen with the left (or right) side
of the projected image.
•Use the shorter side of the projected image as the base.
•In the right example, use the left side as the base.
4. Press the SELECT 

 button to select [Horizontal] and then use the
SELECT 
 or  so that the top and bottom sides of the projected
image are parallel.
•Adjust the horizontal keystone distortion.

NOTE:
•If the projection angle is the same as in the last use, the previous correction setting values are retained in the memory.
•When doing Step 2, adjust the position of image so that the screen is smaller than the area of the projected area.
•To reset the 3D Reform correction setting values, press and hold the 3D REFORM button for a minimum of 2 seconds.
•Each time the 3D REFORM button is pressed, the item will change as follows: Keystone 
→ Cornerstone → None → Keystone →
...
For information on [Cornerstone], see Correcting Horizontal and Vertical Keystone Distortion (Cornerstone) on page 41.
•The Cornerstone adjustment will not be available during the Keystone adjustment. To perform the Cornerstone adjustment, press
and hold the 3D REFORM button for a minimum of 2 seconds to reset the Keystone correction setting values. The Keystone
adjustment will not be available during the Cornerstone adjustment. To perform the Keystone adjustment, press and hold the 3D
REFORM button for a minimum of 2 seconds to reset the Cornerstone correction setting values.
•The 3D Reform feature can cause an image to be slightly blurred because the correction is made electronically.
3. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 to correct keystone distortion.
6. After completing Keystone correction, press the ENTER button.

age to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong
plug of the power cable. To turn off the AC power supply when
the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a
switch and a breaker.
•Do not turn off the AC power supply within 10 seconds of mak-
ing adjustment or setting changes and closing the menu.
Doing so can cause loss of adjustments and settings and re-
turn to default.
TIP: The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned off.
