 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	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	 projec-
tor	cabinet.
	 The	Keystone	screen	will	be	displayed	on	the	screen.
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	par-
allel.
•	 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  →	KEY-
STONE	→ ...
For	information	on	[CORNERSTONE],	see	“Correcting	Horizontal	and	Vertical	Keystone	Distortion	(Cornerstone)”	on	page	40.
•	 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.
5.	 Repeat	steps	2	and	4	to	correct	keystone	distortion.
6.	 After	completing	Keystone	correction, 	press	the	EXIT	button.
	 The	Keystone	screen	will	disappear.
•	 To	perform	 Keystone	 correction	 again,	press	the	3D	REFORM	 button	
to	display	the	Keystone	screen	and	repeat	above	steps	1	to	6.

2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
 CAUTION:
Parts	of	the	 projector	 may	become	 temporarily	 heated	if	the	 projector	 is	turned	 off	with	 the	POWER	 button	or	if	the	
AC	power	supply	is	disconnected	during	normal	projector	operation.
Use	caution	when	picking	up	the	projector.
NOTE:
•	 While	the	POWER	indicator	is	blinking	blue	in	short	cycles,	the	power	cannot	be	turned	off.
•	 You	cannot	turn	off	the	power	for	60	seconds	immediately	after	turning	it	on	and	displaying	an	image.
•	 Wait	 at	least	 20	minutes	 after	the	power	 is	turned	 on	(after	 starting	 to	project)	 before	turning	 the	AC	power	 off	while	 an	image	 is	
being projected or while the cooling fan is running.
•	 Do	not	unplug	 the	power	 cord	from	 the	projector	 or	from	 the	power	 outlet	while	an	image	 is	being	 projected.	 Doing	so	could	
deteriorate	 the	projector’s	 AC	input	 connector	 or	the	 power	 plug’s	contact.	 To	turn	 off	the	 AC	power	 while	an	image	 is	being	
projected,	use	the	projector's	main	power	switch,	the	power	strip’s	switch,	the	breaker,	etc.
•	 Do	 not	disconnect	 the	AC	power	 supply	 to	the	 projector	 within	10	seconds	 of	making	 adjustment	 or	setting	 changes	 and	closing	
the menu. Doing so can cause loss of adjustments and settings.

 Carrying the Projector
Preparation:	Make	sure	that	the	projector	is	turned	off.
1.	 Unplug	the	power	cord.
2.	 Disconnect	any	other	cables.
•	 Remove	the	USB	memory	if	it	is	inserted	into	the	projector.

3. Mount	the	lens	cap	on	the	lens.
4. Before	moving	the	projector, 	screw	in	the	tilt	feet	if	they	have	been	lengthened.
NOTE:
•	 Do	not	apply	strong	shock	or	force	to	the	projector	while	carrying	the	projector.
•	 Remove	the	lens	before	moving	the	projector.	Attach	the	lens	cap	to	the	lens	and	the	dust	cap	to	the	lens	hood	of	the	projector.
•	 Use	the	original	 carton	when	shipping	 the	projector	 without	the	lens.	 Improper	 packaging	 may	cause	 damage	 to	the	 projector	
during shipping.

3. Convenient Features
 Changing Eco Mode/Checking Energy-Saving Effect Using 
Eco Mode [ECO MODE]
This	feature	enables	you	to	select	two	brightness	modes	of	the	lamp:
OFF	and	ON	modes. 	The	lamp	life	can	be	extended	by	turning	on	the	[ECO	MODE].
[ECO	MODE]	Description
[OFF]
This	is	the	default	setting	(100%	Brightness).
[ON]Low	lamp	power	consumption	(approx. 	80%	Brightness).
To	turn	on	the	[ECO	MODE],	do	the	following: 	
1.	 Press	the	ECO	button	on	the	remote	control	to	display	[ECO	MODE]	screen.
2.	 Use	the	 or 	button	to	select	[ON].
3.	 Press	the	ENTER	button.	
	 To	change	from	[ON]	to	[OFF],	Go	back	to	Step	2	and	select	[OFF]. 	Repeat	Step	3.
NOTE: 
•	 The	[ECO	MODE]	can	be	changed	by	using	the	menu.
	 Select	[SETUP]	→	[BASIC]	→	[LAMP	MODE]	→	[ECO	MODE].
•	 The	lamp	life	remaining	and	lamp	hours	used	can	be	checked	in	[USAGE	TIME].	Select	[INFO.]	→[USAGE	TIME].
•	 [ECO	MODE]	is	always	 set	to	[OFF]	 immediately	 after	the	lamp	 is	turned	 on.	The	 lamp	 condition	 will	not	be	affected	 even	when	
[ECO	MODE]	is	changed.
•	 After	 a	lapse	 of	1	minute	 from	when	 the	projector	 displays	a	blue,	 black	 or	logo	 screen,	 [ECO	MODE]	 will	automatically	 switch	to	
[ON].	
•	 If	the	projector	 is	overheated	 in	[OFF]	 mode,	 there	may	be	a	case	 where	 the	[ECO	 MODE]	 automatically	 changes	to	[ON]	 mode	
to	protect	 the	projector.	 This	is	called	 “Forced	 ECO	Mode”.	 When	the	projector	 is	in	 the	 Forced	 Eco	Mode,	 the	picture	 brightness	
decreases	 slightly	and	the	TEMP.	 indicator	 lights	orange.	 At	the	 same	 time	the	Thermometer	 symbol	[		]	 is	 displayed	 at	the	 bot-
tom right of the screen.
	 When	 the	projector	 comes	back	to	normal	 temperature,	 the	Forced	 Eco	Mode	 is	cancelled	 and	the	[ECO	 MODE]	 returns	to	[OFF]	
mode.
