Adjust the Tilt Foot
1.  lift the front edge of the projector. CAUTION:
Do  not  try  to  touch  the  ventilation  outlet  during Tilt  Foot  adjustment 
as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and after it 
is turned off.
2.   Push up and hold the  adjustable tilt foot  lever on the front of 
the projector to extend the adjustable tilt foot.
3.  lower the front of the projector to the desired height.
4.  release the  adjustable tilt foot  lever to lock the  adjustable tilt 
foot.
  The tilt foot can be extended up to 1.6 inch/40 mm.
  There is approximately 10 degrees (up) of adjustment for the front of 
the projector.
  Rotate the rear foot to the desired height in order to square the image 
on the projection surface.
CAUTION:
•	 Do	not	use	the	tilt-foot	for	purposes	other	than	originally	intended.
  Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or 
ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.
Adjusting	the	left	and	right	tilt	of	an	image	[Rear	foot]
1.  remove the spacer (black rubber) from the rear foot.
  Keep the spacer for future use.
2.   rotate the rear foot.
  The rear foot can be extended up to 0.4 inch/10 mm. Rotating the rear 
foot allows the projector to be placed horizontally.
NOTE:	After	using	the	projector,	attach	the	spacer	to	the	rear	foot.

 Correcting Keystone Distortion
Correcting Keystone Distortion
If the screen is tilted vertically, keystone distortion becomes large. Proceed with the following
steps to correct keystone distortion
 
NOTE: 
•	 The	Keystone	correction	can	cause	an	image	to	be	slightly	blurred	because	the	correction	is	made	electronically.
•	 The	Keystone	correction	range	can	be	made	narrower,	depending	on	a	signal	or	its	aspect	ratio	selection.
Adjusting with buttons on the cabinet
1. Press the () or () button with no menus displayed.
  The keystone bar will be displayed.
       
2.  Use the  or  to correct the keystone distortion.
  Adjust so that the right and left sides are parallel.
3.  Press the enter button.
  The keystone bar will be closed.
NOTE:	 When	the	menu	 is	displayed,	 the	above	 operation	 is	not	 available.	 When	the	menu	 is	displayed,	 press	the	MENU	 button	 to	
close	the	menu	and	start	the	Keystone	correction.
From	the	menu,	select	[SETUP]	→	[GENERAL]	→	[KEYSTONE].	The	changes	can	be	saved	with	[KEYSTONE	SAVE].	(→ page 55)

Adjusting with the remote control
1. Press the KeYst One button.
   The Keystone bar will be displayed.
 
2.  Use the   or  button to correct the keystone distortion.
  Adjust so that the right and left sides are parallel.
 
3.  Press the enter button.
NOTE:
•	 The	Keystone	correction	can	cause	an	image	to	be	slightly	blurred	because	the	correction	is	made	electronically.
•	 The	 maximum	 range	of	vertical	 keystone	 correction	 is	+/−40	 degrees.	 This	maximum	 range	may	be	smaller	 depending	 on	the	
signal	or	aspect	ratio	setting.	The	Keystone	correction	range	will	also	be	 smaller	when	3D	mode	is	enabled.
•	 The		range	of	keystone	correction	is	not	the	maximum	tilt	angle	of	projector.
•	 The	left	and	right	(horizontal)	keystone	correction	is	not	available.
TIP:	The	changes	can	be	saved	with	[KEYSTONE	SAVE].	(→ page 55)

´To	turn	on	the	[ECO	MODE],	do	the	following: 	
1.  Press  the  eCO  MOde  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]	→	[GENERAL]	→	[ECO	MODE].
•	 The	 lamp	life	remaining	 and	lamp	 hours	 used	can	be	checked	 in	[USAGE	 TIME].	
Select	[INFO.]	→[USAGE	TIME].
•	 The	 projector	 will	always	 enter	into	the	[ECO	 MODE]	 [OFF]	condition	 for	60	
seconds immediately after the projector is turned on. The lamp condition will 
not	be	affected	even	when	[ECO	MODE]	is	changed	within	this	time	period.
•	 After	 a	lapse	 of	45	 seconds	 from	when	 the	projector	 displays	a	blue,	 black	 or	
logo	 screen,	 [ECO	MODE]	 will	automatically	 switch	to	[ON].	
This	 is

	done	 only	
when	[ECO	MODE]	is	set	to	[OFF].
•	 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.	 When	the	
projector	 is	in	 [ON]	 mode,	 the	picture	 brightness	 decreases.	 When	the	projector	
comes	back	to	normal	temperature,	the	[ECO	MODE]	returns	to	[OFF]	mode.
  Thermometer  symbol  [ 
	]	 indicates	 the	[ECO	 MODE]	 is	automatically	 set	to	
[ON]	mode	because	the	internal	temperature	is	too	high.

 Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2	emission	 reduction	 (kg)	when	 the	projector’s	 [ECO	MODE]	
is	set	to	[ON]. 	This	feature	is	called	[CARBON	METER].
There	 are	two	 messages: 	[TOTAL	 CARBON	 SAVINGS]	 and	[CARBON	 SAVINGS-SESSION]. 	The	 [TOTAL	 CARBON	
SAVINGS]	 message	shows	the	total	 amount	 of	CO
2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can 
check	the	information	on	[USAGE	 TIME]	from	[INFO.]	of	the	menu.	(→ page 66)
The	[CARBON	 SAVINGS-SESSION]	 message	shows	the	amount	 of	CO2  emission  reduction  between  the  time  of 
changing	 to	ECO	 MODE	 immediately	 after	the	time	 of	power-on	 and	the	time	 of	power-off. 	The	 [CARBON	 SAVINGS-
SESSION]	message	will	be	displayed	in	the	[POWER	OFF/	ARE	 YOU	SURE?]	message	at	the	time	of	power-off.
TIP:
•	 The	formula	as	shown	below	is	used	to	calculate	the	amount	of	CO
2 emission reduction.
	 Amount	 of	CO
2	emission	 reduction	 =	Power	 consumption	 in	OFF	 for	ECO	 MODE	 –	Power	 consumption	 in	ON	 for	ECO	 MODE	 x	
CO
2 conversion factor.*
  *  Calculation for amount of CO
2	emission	 reduction	 is	based	 on	an	OECD	 publication	 “CO2	Emissions	 from	Fuel	Combustion,	 2008	
Edition”.
•	 This	formula	will	not	apply	to	the	power	consumption	which	is	not	affected	by	whether	[ECO	MODE]	is	turned	on	or	off.
