25 Automatic adjustment (AUTO SETUP) Automatic adjustment function adjust the resolution, clock phase and image position automatically when dots-structured analog RGB signals such as computer signal are supplied. (Automatic adjustment is not available if moving picture input signals or signals having a dot clock frequency of more than 150 MHz are supplied.) When DVI signals are input, the image position is adjusted automatically. It is recommended to supply images with a bright white frame at the outermost periphery containing characters etc. that are clear in white and black contrast when the system is in automatic adjustment mode. Avoid supplying images that involve halftones or gradation such as photographs and computer graphics. • “CLOCK PHASE” may have been shifted even when the adjustment ended normally. In this case, manually adjust the “CLOCK PHASE”. • Automatic adjustments cannot be performed when images with blurred edges or dark images are input. With Composite sync and G-SYNC sync signals and some types of PCs, it may not be possible to perform these automatic adjustments. In this case, manually adjust the items of “INPUT RESOLUTION”, “CLOCK PHASE” and “SHIFT”. • Image may be disturbed for about 4 seconds during automatic adjustment, which is not an abnormal error. Note Using the SHUTTER function If the projector is not going to be used for a certain period of time such as while a meeting is on a break or preparations are being made, the mechanical shutter can be used to hide the images temporarily. Press the SHUTTER button of the remote control or the main unit. The image is turned off. Press the SHUTTER button again. The image comes back. How to adjust the lens position to the left or right When the lens left/right adjustment dial is turned clockwise, the screen moves toward the left; conversely, when it is turned counterclockwise, it moves toward the right.

30 Adjusting the position • If the picture size is compressed or enlarged by using the 16:9 aspect ratio when the projector is used for profitable purpose or in the presence of an audience (for example, in a coffee shop or at a hotel etc.), it may infringe the rights of the copyright owner of the original picture. • If a picture with the standard (4:3) aspect ratio is projected at a wide aspect ratio, parts of the picture may run over the screen bounds or the overall picture may be distorted. To view the picture at its original aspect ratio, choose the standard 4:3 aspect ratio. Note KEYSTONE KEYSTONE : Keystone distortion can be corrected only along either horizontal bound of the picture. ZOOM This enables the enlargement ratio to be changed and the resulting enlarged image displayed. : The enlargement ratio in the horizontal direction is changed. : The enlargement ratio in the vertical direction is changed. CLOCK PHASE (For RGB/YPBPRsignals only) Clock phase adjustment allows the user to minimize visible noise with the or button. • Keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30 °of the angle of tilt for the projector. However, the greater the correction amount, the more the picture quality will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible. • The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is carried out. Note• When projecting signals whose dot clock frequency is 150 MHz or higher, the noise may not disappear even when the clock phase is adjusted. • Clock phase adjustment is not available for digital signals. Note button:button: LINEARITY : After you are finished with keystone adjustment, adjust vertical linearity with the or button. Linearity is not adjustable if no correction was made to keystone distortion.
