Basic Operation
Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted
using the adjustment feet at the front and rear
of the projector when the screen is located
higher than the projector, the screen is inclined
or when the installation site is slightly inclined.
Install the projector so that it is as perpen-
dicular to the screen as possible.
1Lift the projector to adjust its
height while pressing the
HEIGHT ADJUST button.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 12 degrees (6 steps).
•When lowering the projector, it may be
difficult to move the front adjustment foot
because the installation surface is diffi-
cult to slide. In this case, pull the pro-
jector back slightly and adjust its height.
2Remove your hands from the
HEIGHT ADJUST button of the
projector after its height has
been finely adjusted.
3Finely adjust the height and in-
clination by turning the rear ad-
justment feet.
Note
•When adjusting the projected image position,
trapezoidal distor tion occurs. In this case, see
“Keystone Correction” on page 32.
Info
•Do not press the HEIGHT ADJUST button
when the front adjustment foot comes out
without firmly holding the projector.
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful not
to get your fingers caught in the area be-
tween the adjustment foot and the projector.
