Getting Started
Correcting the focus
When the lens is attached to the projector and images are being projected onto the screen, the peripheral focus 
may be out of focus in some areas. If this happens, insert the supplied spacer between the lens attachment and 
the lens to adjust the focus.
Inserting the spacer corrects the distance on the lens adjustment and improves the diagonal focus. The corrected 
distance is determined by the thickness of the spacer to be inserted.  As a guide, the corrected distance is 
approximately 30 mm by 0.1 mm in the thickness of the spacer.
Three types of spacers, four for each spacer type, are supplied. Insert these spacers to correct the distance as 
required.

Attention ■
z To get a high picture quality, set up the screen in a location that is, as far as possible, not directly affected by 
natural light or electric light. Draw the curtains or blinds and turn of
f the lights.
■
z When setting up the projector with tilt, do not use the projector at an inclination angle that exceeds ±10° 
vertically to the horizontal plane. Installing the projector at an inclination angle that exceeds this value may 
reduce the component life and result in malfunctions.

Installation options (optional)
You can install the projector on the ceiling using the optional ceiling mount bracket (Product No.: ET-PKE16H (for 
high ceilings), ET-PKE16S (for low ceilings) and ET-PKE12B (for projector)).■
z Use only ceiling mount brackets specified for this projector.
■
z For details on installation of the projector with the bracket, refer to the installation manual for the ceiling mount 
bracket.
Attention ■
z To ensure the projector performance and security, installation of the ceiling mount bracket must be carried out 
by your dealer or a qualified technician.
Adjusting adjustable feet
The adjustable feet can be extended by turning it as shown in the figure. It is retracted by turning it in the opposite 
direction. This finely adjusts the height and tilt of the projected image.
When the adjustable feet are extended, the projector can be tilted to a maximum of 2.8°.
(The projection angle can be adjusted vertically.)
Attention
■
z Heated air is blowing out from the air exhaust port while the lamp is on. Do not touch the air exhaust port 
directly when adjusting the adjustable feet.
■
z If the keystone effect occurs in the projected image, perform [Keystone] (
 page 67) from the [Screen] menu.
Note ■
z Do not extend the adjustable feet beyond the red line. Adjustable feet may fall off.
■
z The vertical and horizontal position of the image can be adjusted using the lens shift function.

Connections
Before connecting to the projector
■
z Read carefully the instruction manual of the device you intend to connect.
■
z Turn off the power switch of the device before connecting the cable.
■
z If a connection cable is not supplied with the device and the optional cable is not available, prepare a 
connection cable to suit the device.
■
z Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble. In this case, 
a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
■
z The projector accepts the following signals: video signals, S-video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous 
signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
■
z Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
■
z When connecting a device to the projector using a long cable, it may not be possible to achieve a normal 
picture without a compensator.
■
z For details of the video signals supported by the projector, refer to “List of compatible signals” (
 page 111).

Note
■
z Use an HDMI High Speed cable that adheres to the HDMI standard. Use of a cable that does not adhere to the 
 
standard may result in abnormal operation such as cut-out of the image, failure to project, etc.
■
z The  terminal can be connected with an external device with a DVI terminal using an HDMI/DVI 
conversion cable. With some devices, however, normal operation  may not be possible and images may not 
appear. (
 page 76)
■
z When the  terminal is used, normal operation may not be possible with some devices and images 
may not appear.
■
z The  terminal (in the digital signal input mode) is compatible only with single link signals.
■
z For details of RGB signals from computers that the projector supports, refer to “List of compatible signals” 
(
 page 111).
■
z If you operate the projector using the computer with the resume feature (last memory), it may be required to 
reset the resume feature.
■
z The  terminal (in the digital signal input mode) may require the EDID setting depending on the 
connected device.
■
z To connect the projector with a computer over a wired LAN, refer to the “Operating Instructions – Network 
Operations” on the supplied CD-ROM.
