Correcting Trapezoidal
Distortion
When the image is projected either from the top
or from the bottom towards the screen at an
angle, the image becomes distorted trapezoidally.
The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion
is called Keystone Correction.
Note
•The Keystone Correction can be adjusted
up to an angle of approximately ±35 degrees
and the screen can also be set up to an
angle of approximately ±35 degrees (when
the resize mode is set to “NORMAL” (see
page 26)).
•The Keystone Correction cannot be ad-
justed in the lateral direction.

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 in a higher position than
the projector, the projection image can be
made higher by adjusting the projector.
1Press HEIGHT ADJUST button.
•The front adjustment foot comes out.
2Lift the projector to adjust its
height while pressing the
HEIGHT ADJUST button.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 12 degrees (5 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.
3Remove your hands from the
HEIGHT ADJUST button of the
projector after its height has
been finely adjusted.
4Use the rear adjustment foot to
make the projector level.
•The projector is adjustable ±1 degree
from the standard position.
Note
•When the height of the image is being ad-
justed by the adjustment feet, the image be-
comes distorted trapezoidally. In this case,
see “Correcting Trapezoidal Distortion” on the
page 20 to correct the trapezoidal distortion.
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.

In addition to the zoom function and adjustment of projection angle using the adjustment foot, it is possible
to move the lens up and down and left and right (360°) to adjust the projection position simply by moving the
lens shift lever on the front of the projector. This is a useful function in cases such as when the screen can
not be moved.

Adjusting the Projected
Image Position

Info
•When using the projector (during projec-
tion), be sure not to subject the projector to
any impact. If the projector is subjected to
impact, the projection image may deviate
from the adjusted position.
•When transporting or carrying the projec-
tor, attach the lens shipping block and the
lens cap to the projector.
•When the angle is being adjusted using the
adjustment foot, deviation of the projected
image arising when carrying out lens shift
in the lateral direction can not be corrected
by the Keystone Correction.
