Adjusting	Horizontal/Vertical	Position	[HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL]
Adjusts	the	image	location	horizontally	and	vertically.
-	 An	image	can	be	distorted	during	the	adjustment	of	[CLOCK]	and	[PHASE].	This	is	not	malfunction.
-	 The	 adjustments	 for	[CLOCK],	 [PHASE],	[HORIZONTAL],	 and	[VERTICAL]	 will	be	stored	 in	memory	 for	the	
current	 signal.	The	 next	 time	 you	project	 the	signal	 with	the	same	 resolution,	 horizontal	and	vertical	 frequency,	
its	adjustments	will	be	called	up	and	applied.
	 To	delete	 adjustments	 stored	in	memory,	 from	the	menu,	 you	select	 [RESET]	→	[CURRENT	 SIGNAL]	and	reset	
the	adjustments.

AUTO
The	projector	will	automatically	determine	the	incoming	signal	and	display	it	in	its	aspect	ratio. 	
The	projector	 may	erroneously	 determine	the	aspect	 ratio	depending	 on	its	signal. 	If	 this	 occurs,	
select	the	appropriate	aspect	ratio	from	the	following.4:3The	image	is	displayed	in	4:3	aspect	ratio.5:4The	image	is	displayed	in	5:4	aspect	ratio16:9The	image	is	displayed	in	16:9	aspect	ratio15:9The	image	is	displayed	in	15:9	aspect	ratio16:10The	image	is	displayed	in	16:10	aspect	ratio

NATIVEThe	projector	 displays	the	current	 image	in	its	 true	 resolution	 when	the	incoming	 computer	 signal	
has	a	lower	or	higher	resolution	than	the	projector’s	native	resolution. 	(→	page	2,	227)
When	the	incoming	 computer	 signal	has	a	higher	 resolution	 than	the	projector's	 native	resolution,	
the	center	of	an	image	will	be	displayed.
LETTER	BOXThe	image	 of	a	letterbox	 signal	(16:9)	is	stretched	 equally	in	the	 horizontal	 and	vertical	 directions	
to	fit	the	screen.
WIDE	SCREENThe	image	of	a	squeeze	signal(16:9)	is	stretched	left	and	right	in	16:9.
ZOOMThe	image	of	a	squeeze	signal	(16:9)	is	stretched	left	and	right	in	4:3.
Parts	of	the	displayed	image	are	cropped	at	the	left	and	right	edges	and	therefore	not	visible.
4:3	FILLThe	image	of	a	signal(4:3)	is	stretched	left	and	right	in	16:9.
TIP:
•	 Image	position	can	be	adjusted	vertically	using	[POSITION]	when	the	[16:9],	[15:9],	or	[16:10]	aspect	ratios	are	selected.
•	 The	term	“letterbox”	 refers	to	a	more	 landscape-oriented	 image	when	compared	 to	a	4:3	 image,	 which	is	the	 standard	 aspect	
ratio	for	a	vide	source.
	 The	letterbox	signal	has	aspect	ratios	with	the	vista	size	“1.85:1”	or	cinema	scope	size	“2.35:1”	for	movie	film.
•	 The	term	“squeeze”	refers	to	the	compressed	image	of	which	aspect	ratio	is	converted	from	16:9	to	4:3.

[VIDEO	LEVEL]
This	function	 selects	video	signal	 level	when	 the	projector’s	 HDMI	and	DisplayPort	 input	connectors	 and	an	external	
device	are	connected.
AUTO ���������������������The video level is switched automatically based on the information from \
the device outputting the signal�
Depending on the connected device, this setting may not be made properly � In this case, switch to “NORMAL” 
or “ENHANCED” from the menu and view with the optimum setting�
NORMAL ����������������This disables the enhanced mode�
ENHANCED  ������������This improves the image’s contrast, expressing the dark and light sections more dynamically �
Using the Lens Memory Function [LENS MEMORY]
This	function	serves	to	store	the	adjusted	values	for	each	input	signal	when	using	the	LENS	SHIFT,	ZOOM	and	FO-
CUS	buttons	 of	the	 projector. 	Adjusted	 values	can	be	applied	 to	the	 signal	 you	selected. 	This	 will	eliminate	 the	need	
to	adjust	lens	shift,	focus,	and	zoom	at	the	time	of	source	selection.
STORE �������������������Stores the current adjusted values in memory for each input signal�
MOVE  ��������������������Applies the adjusted values to the current signal�
RESET ��������������������Returns the adjusted values to the last condition�
NOTE:
•	 The	lens	shift,	zoom,	and	focus	adjustments	can	be	performed	with	the	remote	control.	(→ page 27, 29, 30)
•	 To	store	adjusted	values	common	to	all	the	input	sources,	use	the	REF.	LENS	MEMORY	function.	See	page	49, 130.
•	 Lens	 memory	 adjustments	 will	be	automatically	 registered	the	ENTRY	 LIST.	These	 lens	memory	 adjustments	 can	be	loaded	 from	
the	ENTRY	LIST.	(→ page 110)
	 Note	 that	performing	 [CUT]	or	[ALL	 DELETE]	 in	the	 ENTRY	 LIST	will	delete	 lens	memory	 adjustments	 as	well	 as	source	 adjust-
ments. This deletion will not take effect until other adjustments is loa\
