Operations

Using handy features
Using auto setting (For computer input only)
This function automatically sets up the projector to the optimum state. 
It sets up the sampling phase, frequency and screen position, etc., for 
each type of input signal through a simple operation.
 Press the remote control’s AUTO SET button.
The  icon will appear during processing.
You can also set it by selecting [Auto setting] in the Image 
adjustment menu p.37.
 Notes
The image may not be projected or auto adjustment/setting may not be performed 
correctly for input signals other than those supported by the projector p.100, p.101.
If auto setting fails adjustment, adjust it manually with [Position] in the Image 
adjustment menu p.38.
Correcting the keystone distortion
When the projector placement angle toward the screen is changed while projecting the 
image, the picture will undergo keystone (trapezoidal) distortion.
This projector is capable of automatically correcting this keystone distortion based on 
the projector’s placement angle.
Before correctionAfter correction
 Adjusting Keystone distortion Manually
Use the   buttons for manual keystone 
adjustment.
 Notes
Depending on the amount of keystone 
adjustment needed and the image content, 
some information may be lost, or the picture 
quality may suffer.
Even if [Auto keystone] is set to [On], keystone distortion can be adjusted 
manually. Note that if you change the position or angle of the projector, automatic 
keystone correction will be performed again.
When [Auto keystone] is set to [On], the automatic keystone correction will be 
performed each time the power is turned on.
Since keystone correction settings are memorized after the power has been turned 
off, it is recommended that you first set [Auto keystone] to [Off]. Then if the projector 
placement angle against the screen remains unchanged, the keystone adjustment 
will also remain unchanged.

 Press the remote control’s RESIZE  button.
Each time you press the RESIZE  button, zoom ratio is up. You can keep 
pressing it to enlarge the image further.
 To zoom out, press the remote control’s RESIZE 
 button.

down. You can keep pressing it to reduce the image further.
(However, the image cannot be smaller than the original 
size.)
 To move the area to zoom in, use the     
buttons.
You can keep pressing the button until reaching the desired 
area. 
 When the image returns to the original size by pressing RESIZE  
button several times, the zoom will be reset.
Pressing the RETURN button during resizing also resets the zoom.
 Notes
The  icon appears while resizing.
Operating a function other than Mute will release resizing.
As zooming is processed digitally, the image quality is degraded in larger zoom 
ratio.
During resizing or moving the zooming area, the image may be distorted.
