Adjusting the Tilt \uFeet
1.		Turn	the	left	and	right	tilt	feet	to	adjust.
	 The	tilt	feet	lengthen	and	shorten	when	turned.
	 The	 height	 of	the	 projected	 i\fage	is	adjusted	 \by	turning	 the	left	
and	right	tilt	feet.
	 If	 the	projected	 i\fage	is	tilted, 	turn	 one	of	the	 tilt	feet	 to	adjust	 the	
i\fage	so	that	it	is	level.
-  If  the  proje\fted  image  is  distorted,  see  "6  Corre\fti\bg  Keysto\be 
Distortio\b" (→ page 22).
-  The tilt feet \fa\b be le\bgthe\bed by a maximum of 20 mm\e.
-  The tilt feet \fa\b be used to tilt the proje\ftor by a maximum of 4º.
NOTE:
•  D\b n\bt lengthen the tilt feet any m\bre than 20 mm/0.8". D\bing s\b will make the 
tilt feet’s m\bunt secti\bn unstable and c\buld cause the tilt feet t\b c\bme \bff the 
pr\bject\br.
•  D\b  n\bt  use  the  tilt  feet  f\br  any  purp\bse  \bther  than  adjusting  the  pr\bject\br’s 
pr\bjecti\bn angle.
  Handling the tilt feet impr\bperly, such as carrying the pr\bject\br by grasping the 
tilt feet \br h\b\bking it \bnt\b a wall using the tilt feet, c\buld damage the pr\bject\br.

6 Correcting Keystone Dis\utortion
When	the 	p\fojecto\f 	is 	not 	exactly 	pe\fpendicula\f 	to 	the 	sc\feen, 	keystone 	disto\ftion 	occu\fs. 	To 	ove\fcome 	it, 	you 	can 	use 	the	
“Keystone” 	\bunction,	 a	digital	 technology	 that	can	adjust	 \bo\f	keystone-type	 disto\ftion,	\fesulting	in	a	c\fisp,	 squa\fe	 image.

When	 the	p\fojecto\f	 is	set	 up	at	an	 angle	 in	\felation	 to	the	 sc\feen,	 adjust	the	Ho\fizontal	 option	o\b	the	 Keystone	 menu	
so	that	the	top	and	bottom	o\b	sides	o\b	the	p\fojected	image	a\fe	pa\fallel.
1.	 Press	 the	Keystone	 \button	on	the	 re\fote	 control	 or	the	 projector	
ca\binet.
  The Keysto\be s\free\b will be displayed o\b the s\free\b.
2.	 Press	 the		\button	 to	select	 [V-POSITION]	 and	then	 use	the		or	 	
so	that	the	left	and	right	sides	of	the	projected	i\fage	are	parallel.
* Adjust the verti\fal keysto\be distortio\b.
3.	 Align	 the	left	(or	right)	 side	of	the	 screen	 with	the	left	(or	right)	 side	
of	the	projected	i\fage.
•  Use the shorter side of the proje\fted image as the base.
•  I\b the right example, use the left side as the base.
4.	 Press	 the		\button	 to	select	 [H-POSITION]	 and	then	 use	the		or	 	
so 	that 	the 	top 	and 	\botto\f 	sides 	of 	the 	projected 	i\fage 	are 	parallel.
•  Adjust the horizo\btal keysto\be distortio\b.
