edge (for example, if the projector’s image is on left, its right edge overlaps the 
adjacent image—adjust Right Blend Width). Use the same setting on the second 
projector for this shared edge.

Turn the horizontal and/or vertical 
offset knobs as necessary so that the 
image is square on the screen with no 
keystoning. For best results, avoid 
extreme offsets characterized by corner 
vignettes on a white test pattern. 
For more vertical offset range, it is 
possible that mechanical TILT should 
be changed to help compensate for 
significant differences in screen and 
lens height. Refer back to Section 2. 
NOTE: Refer back to Figure 2.13 and

operational, the message indicates the presence of a potentially serious problem that 
should be reported to the manufacturer. You can press
