Adjustment range by the lens position shift (optical shift)
Perform the lens position shift within the adjustment range.
The focus may change when the lens position is shifted out of the adjustment range.  This is because the movement of the lens is restricted 
to protect the optical parts. Projection position can be adjusted with the optical axis shift based on the standard projection position in the 
respective range.

Adjusting the lens mounter when the focus is unbalanced
Focus balance
Relationship between the tilt of the lens and the screen focus surface
When the projection lens is tilted in contrast with the image forming surface, tilting the front side (screen side) of the projection lens downwards 
(in the direction of the dotted arrow line), the upper side of the screen focus surface will tilt inwards and the lower side will tilt outwards as 
shown in the example.
Projection lensImage forming surface
Screen focus surface
How to adjust the focus balance (adjustment by tilting the lens mounter)
When the entire screen surface is not uniform even if the focus has been adjusted, the lens mounter has focus adjustment screws in three 
locations.
 f T

ool used: Hex driver or Allen wrench (diagonal 2.5   mm (3/32"))
 fThe 

Allen wrench is included with the projection lens ET
-
 D75LE6, ET

 D75LE8.
Lens mounter structure
Focus adjustment screws (a), (b), and (c) can be turned to move the lens mount bracket back and forth.
Also, tightening the fixed screws locks the lens mount bracket in place so it does not move.
When a projection lens with a large weight is installed, or when the projector is installed on an inclination, the lens may tilt and the focus may 
become unbalanced. In these cases, perform adjustment by referring to the relationship between the adjustment location and adjustment 
screws.

Press the 
 a button to stop on any part of the screen to be the first just focus point.
 fFor the location where focus is shifted in this state, the just focus point is on the inner side of the screen.
4) Loosen the fixed screws in the position relative to the location where t\
he focus is shifted the most 
(the location where the just focus point is shifted the most towards the inner side in Step 2)) up to two 
rotations.
 fTurn screws clockwise in two locations, or at least in one location when making an adjustment.
5) Slowly turn the focus adjustment screws corresponding to the locations c\
ounterclockwise and stop 
where the image is in focus. ( x
  page   53)
 fIf the screws are turned counterclockwise, the tilt of the lens will change by moving the lens mount bracket of the lens mounter forward 
(screen side), and in the projected image on the screen, the focus point in the opposite direction of the adjustment screws will move 
from the inner side of the screen to the outside.
6) Press the  button on the remote control or the  button on the control panel to display 
the shift adjustment menu, and reset the screen position of the projected image on the screen surface 
back to an optimal state.
7)
 
Perform focus adjustment again near the center of the screen and if it is still not enough, fine tune the 
amount of rotation of the adjustment screws.
