Adjusting the Tilt Feet
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  “2-6  Correcting  Keystone 
Distortion” (→ page 22).

 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	 distor-
tions.
When	the	projector	is	placed	diagonally...

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	→...
