 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.
•	 When	conducting	extreme 	offset 	with 	Keystone 	correction, 	sometimes, 	based 	on 	its 	combination 	with 	aspect 	ratio, 	it 	occurs 	that 	
the	on	screen	menu	would	extend	beyond	the	screen.	When	this	happens,	please	adjust	it	back	into	the	screen.

Adjusting with the remote control
1. Press the KEYSTONE button.
  The Keystone bar will be disp layed.
 
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	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.

 Turning off the Projector
To turn off the projector:
1. First,  press  the   (POWER)  button  on  the  projector 
cabinet  or  the  POWER  OFF  button  on  the  remote 
control. 
 The [POWER OFF / ARE YOU SURE? /CARBON 
SAVINGS- SESSION X.XXX[g-CO2]] message will appear.
2. Secondly,  press  the     (POWER)  button  on  the 
projector cabinet, or the ENTER button or the POWER 
OFF button on the remote control.
 The lamp will turn off  and the projector will go into standby 
mode. When in standby mode, the POWER indicator will 
light orange and the STATUS indicator will light green when 
[NORMAL] is selected for [STANDBY MODE]. 
3. Finally, unplug the power cord.
 The POWER indicator will go  out.
 CAUTION:
Parts	of	the 	projector 	may 	become 	temporarily 	heated 	if 	the 	AC 	power 	supply 	is 	disconnected 	either 	during 	normal 	
projector	operation	or	during	cooling	fan	operation.	Use	caution	when	picking	up	the	projector.

NOTE:
•	 Do	not	turn	off	the	power	for	60	seconds	immediately	after	turning	it	on	and	displaying	an	image.
•	 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.

 Turning off the Image and Sound
Press	the	AV-MUTE 	button 	to 	turn 	off 	the 	image 	and 	sound 	for 	a 	short 	
period	of	time.	Press	again	to	restore	the	image	and	sound.
NOTE: Even though the image is turned off, the menu still remains on the screen.
 Freezing a Picture
Press	the 	FREEZE 	button 	to 	freeze 	a 	picture. 	Press 	again 	to 	resume 	
motion.
NOTE: The image is frozen but the original video is still playing back.
 Enlarging a Picture
You	can	enlarge	the	picture	up	to	four	times.
NOTE:	The	maximu m 	magnification 	may 	be 	less 	than 	four 	times 	depending 	on 	the 	
signal	or	when	[WIDE	ZOOM]	is	selected	for	[ASPECT	RATIO].
To do so:
1. Press the D-ZOOM (+) button to magnify the picture.
 To move the magnified image , use the ,, or  button.
2. Press the  button.
 The area of the magnified ima ge will be moved
3. Press the D-ZOOM (−) button.
 Each time the D-ZOOM (−) bu tton is pressed, the image is reduced.
 NOTE: 
•	 The	image	will	be	enlarged	or	reduced	at	the	center	of	the	screen.
•	 Displaying	the	menu	will	cancel	the	current	magnification.

 Changing 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].

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 b
utton. 
 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	wil l 	al ways 	enter 	into 	the 	[ECO 	MODE] 	[ON] 	conditi on 	for 	90 	
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]	m ode, 	t here	m ay	b e	a	c ase	w here	t he	[ 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.

 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: 	[TOTA L 	CARBON 	SAVINGS] 	and 	[CARBON 	SAVINGS-SESSION]. 	The 	[TOTAL 	CARBON 	
SAVINGS]	message	shows 	the 	total 	amount 	of 	CO2	emission	reduction 	from 	the 	time 	of 	shipment 	up 	to 	now. 	You 	can 	
check	the	information	on	[USAGE	TIME]	from	[INFO.]	of	the	menu.	(→	page	62)
The	[CARBON	SAVINGS-SESSION] 	message 	shows 	the 	amount 	of 	CO2	emission	reduction 	between 	the 	time 	of 	
changing	to	ECO 	MODE 	immedi ately 	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	CO2 emission reduction.
	 Amount	of	CO2	emission	reduction 	= 	Power 	consum ption 	in 	OFF 	for 	ECO 	MODE 	– 	Power 	consumption 	in 	ON 	for 	ECO 	MODE 	x 	
CO2 conversion factor.*
 *  Calculation for amount of CO2	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.
