Adjusting the tilt (Tilt foot)
Adjusting	the	left	and	right	tilt.
1.  Turn the left and right tilt feet to adjust.
 The tilt feet lengthen and shorten when turned.
 The height of the projected image is adjusted by turning the left 
and right tilt feet.
	 If	the	projected	image	is	tilted,	turn	one	of	the	tilt	feet	to	adjust	the	
image so that it is level.
•	 If	the	projected	image	is	distorted,	see	“6	Correcting	Ke ystone	
Distortion	[KEYSTONE]”	(→ page 21).
•	 The	tilt	feet	can	be	lengthened	by	a	maximum	of	20	mm.
•	 The	tilt	feet	can	be	used	to	tilt	the	projector	by	a	maximum	of	
4°.
Up
Down Tilt foot
NOTE:
•	 Do	not	lengthen	the	tilt	feet	any	more	than	20	mm/0.8".	Doing	so	will	make	the	tilt	feet’s	mount	section	unstable	and	could	cause	
the	tilt	feet	to	come	off	the	projector.
•	 Do	not	use	the	tilt	feet	for	any	purpose	other	than	adjusting	the	projector’s	projection	angle.
	 Handling	the	tilt	feet	improperly,	such	as	carrying	the	projector	by	grasping	the	tilt	feet	or	hooking	it	onto	a	wall	using	the	tilt	feet,	
could	damage	the	projector.

❻ Correcting Keystone Distortion [KEYSTONE]
When	the	projector	is	not	ex actly	pe rpendicular	to	th e	sc reen,	ke ystone	di stortion	oc curs.	To	ov ercome	it ,	yo u	ca n	us e	th e	
“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	Ke ystone	menu	
so	that	the	top	and	bottom	of	sides	of	the	projected	image	are	parallel.
1. When APPS is not selected as source and the menu is not dis-
played on, press the  ▼ button on the projector cabinet.
 The Keystone screen will be displayed on the screen.
•	 Press	the	KEYSTONE	button	when	using	the	remote	control.
•	 See	page	22 for [RESET].
2. Press the ▼	button	to	select	[VERTICAL]	and	then	use	the	◀ or ▶ 
so that the left and right sides of the projected image 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 ▲	button	to	select	[HORIZONTAL]	and	then	use	the	◀ 
or  ▶ so that the top and bottom sides of the projected image are 
parallel.
•	 Adjust	the	horizontal	keystone	distortion.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 to correct keystone distor tion.
6.	 After	completing	Keystone	correction,	press	the	EXIT	b utton.
 The Keystone screen will disappear.
•	 To	perform	Keystone	co rrection	ag ain,	pr ess	th e	▼ button to display 
the Keystone screen and repeat above steps 1 to 6.
To	return	the	keystone	adjustments	to	default:
1. Press the ▼	button	to	select	[RESET]	and	press	the	ENTER	button.
2. Press the ◀ or ▶	button	to	select	[YES]	and	press	the	ENTER	button.
 The adjustments will be reset.
•	 When	resetting,	the	[HORIZONTAL]	and	[VERTICAL]	adjustment	values	are	also	reset.
•	 The	KEYSTONE	feature	can	cause	an	image	to	be	slightly	blurred	because	the	correction	is	made	electronically.

❼ Optimizing Computer Signal Automatically
Adjusting the Image Using Auto Adjust
Optimizing	a	computer	image	automatically.	(COMPUTER)
Press	the	AUTO	ADJ.	button	to	optimiz e	a	computer	image	automatically .
This	adjustment	may	be	necessary	when	you	connect	your	computer	for	the	first	time.
[Poor picture][Normal picture]
 
NOTE:
Some	signals	may	take	time	to	display	or	may	not	be	displayed	correctly.
•	 If	the	Auto	Adjust	operation	cannot	optimize	the	computer	signal,	try	to	adjust	[HORIZONTAL],	[VERTICAL],	[CLOCK],	and	[PHASE]	
manually.	(→	page	46,	47)
❽ Turning Up or Down Volume
Sound	level	from	the	speaker	or	audio	output	can	be	adjusted.
TIP:	When	no	menus	appear,	the	◀	and	▶	buttons	on	the	projector	cabinet	work	
as	a	volume	control.	
NOTE:
•	 Volume	control	is	not	available	with	the	◀	or	▶	button	when	an	image	is	magni-
fied	by	using	the	D-ZOOM	(+)	button,	when	the	menu	is	displayed,	or	when	the	
APPS	is	displayed.
TIP:	The	[BEEP]	sound	volume	cannot	be	adjusted.	To	turn	off	the	[BEEP]	sound,	
from	the	menu,	select	[SETUP]	→	[OPTIONS	(1)]	→	[BEEP]	→	[OFF].

❾ Turning off the Projector
To	turn	off	the	projector:
1. First, press the  (POWER) button on the projector 
cabinet or the STANDBY button on the remote control. 
 The confirmation message will be displayed.
•	 The	confirmation	message	displayed	when	the	pow er	
is turned off indicates the amount of CO2 reduction this 
session (→ page 29).
 
2. Secondly, press the ENTER button or press the  
(POWER) or the STANDBY button again.
 When the light source turns off, the power turns off too. The 
cooling fan remains to run for a while. When the cooling fan 
stops to run, the projector will go into the STANDBY mode. 
When in standby mode, the POWER indicator will light red 
and the STATUS indicator will turn off when [NORMAL] is 
selected for [STANDBY MODE].

 CAUTION:
Parts	of	the	projector	may	become	temporarily	heated	if	the	projector	is	turned	off	with	the	POWER	button.
Be	careful	to	handle	the	projector.
NOTE:
•	 Do	not	unplug	the	power	cord	from	the	projector	or	from	the	power	outlet	while	an	image	is	being	projected	and	the	cooling	fan	
is	rotating.	Doing	so	could	deteriorate	the	projector’s	AC	IN	terminal	or	the	power	plug’s	contact.	Do	not	shut	off	the	AC	power	
supply	while	an	image	is	being	projected.	Do	not	disconnect	the	AC	power	cord	until	the	POWER	indicator	turns	ON	in	red.
