steps	to	correct	keystone	distortion
 
NOTE: 
•	 The	Keystone	correction	can	cause	an	image	to	be	slightly	blurred	because	the	correction	is	made	electronically.

•	 The	left	and	right	(horizontal)	keystone	correction	is	not	available.
  Place the projector so that the lens surface is parallel to the screen.
 The rear feet of the projector can be adjusted to level the projector.
•	 Using	keystone	correction	can	cause	the	image	to	be	slightly	blurred	because	the	correction	is	made	electronically.
TIP:	If	you	have	one	of	the	following	conditions,	the	projector’s	Auto	Keystone	may	not	be	performed	correctly.
•	 The	screen	is	tilted
