Info
•Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool-
ing fan operation. The cooling fan in this projector contin-
ues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector enters
the standby mode. This can cause damage due to rise in
internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

rection.
1) “GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT” for correct-
ing an image designating the corner of the
projected image
2) “H & V KEYSTONE”/“IMAGE RESIZING”
for correcting an image designating the
horizontal and vertical axes
