Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)
When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup menu. This menu gives you the opportunity to select one of the 
29 menu languages.
To select a menu language, follow these steps:
1.  Use the ▲ , ▼ , ◀  or ▶  button to select one of the 29 languages 
from the menu.
2.  Press the ENTER button to execute the selection.
After this has been done, you can proceed to the menu operation.
If you want, you can select the menu language later.
(→ [LANGUAGE] on page 79 and 107)
NOTE: 
•  During projection, after shutting down the power supply (direct power off ), wait for about 1 minute or longer before turning on the power again.
•  Keep the lens cap off the lens while the projector’s power is on.
  If the lens cap is on, it could be warped due to high temperature.
•  If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.
- If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect 
the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector’s internal components to cool down.
-  When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
-  If the STATUS indicator lights orange with the power button pressed, it means that the [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. Cancel the lock by turning it off. (→ 
page 117)
-  If the lamp fails to light, and if the LAMP indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power.
•  While the POWER indicator is blinking blue in short cycles, the power cannot be turned off by using the power button.
•  Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is normal. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.
•  When the projector is turned on, it may take some time before the lamp light becomes bright.
•  If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without displaying an image for some time and 
then the projector will display the image.

Adjusting the vertical position of a projected image (Lens shift)
 CAUTION
Perform the adjustment from behind or from the side of the projector. Adjusting from the front could expose your eyes to 
strong light which could injure them.

•  Turn the lens shift dials clockwise or counterclockwise.
Vertical dial
Turn this clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the projection position in the vertical direction.
Approximate turning range: About 6 turns counterclockwise, about 2 turns clockwise when the lens is at the center positi\
on.
Horizontal dial
Turn this clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the projection position in the horizontal direction.
Approximate turning range: About 1 turn counterclockwise, about 1 turn clockwise when the lens is at the center positio\
n.
NOTE:
•  The dials can be turned more than one full turn, but the projection position cannot be moved more than the range indicated on the following page.
•  If the lens is shifted to the maximum in the diagonal direction, the edges of the screen will be dark or shaded.
•  The vertical shift adjustment must be finished with an image shifted upward. If you finish the vertical shift adjustment with an image shifted down, the zoom/focus 
adjustments or strong shaking may cause a projected image to slightly shift down.
•  The lens shift function cannot be used when using the separately sold Replacement Lens Type1 lens.

TIP: 
• The diagram below shows the lens shift adjustment range (projection format: desk/front) of the WUXGA type (excluding the lens unit Replacement Lens Type8). Use 
the tilt foot if you wish to raise the projection position beyond this. (→ page 25)
•  Refer to Page 235 for the lens shift adjustment range of the WXGA type/XGA type and for ceiling hanging/front projection.

Adjusting the Tilt Feet
1.  Turn the left and right tilt feet to adjust.
  The tilt feet lengthen and shorten when turned.
  The height of the projected image is adjusted by turning the left and right 
tilt feet.
  If the projected image is tilted, turn one of the tilt feet to adjust the image 
so that it is level.
•  If the projected image is distorted, see “3-6 Correcting Horizontal and Verti -
cal Keystone Distortion [CORNERSTONE]” (→ page 33) and “[GEOMETRIC 
CORRECTION]” (→ page 100).
•  The tilt feet can be lengthened by a maximum of 20 mm.
•  The tilt feet can be used to tilt the projector by a maximum of 4°.
NOTE:
•   Do not lengthen the tilt feet any more than 20 mm/0.8". Doing so will make the tilt feet’s mount section 
unstable and could cause the tilt feet to come off the projector.
•  Do not use the tilt feet for any purpose other than adjusting the projector’s projection angle.
  Handling the tilt feet improperly, such as carrying the projector by grasping the tilt feet or hooking it 
onto a wall using the tilt feet, could damage the projector.
 
Zoom
Turn the zoom lever or zoom ring clockwise and counterclockwise.
•  The separately sold Replacement Lens Type1 lens does not have a zoom ring.
