• About the Lamp Indicator
The lamp indicator illuminates to indicate the
status of the lamp.
Green: The lamp is on.
Blinking in green:The lamp is warming up
or shutting down.
Red:The lamp is shut down abnormally
or the lamp should be replaced.
• When switching on the projector, a slight flick-
ering of the image may be experienced within
the first minute after the lamp has been illumi-
nated. This is normal operation as the lamp’s
control circuitry is stabilising the lamp output
characteristics. It should not be regarded as
faulty operation.
• If the projector is put into standby mode and
immediately turned on again, the lamp may
take some time to start projection.

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.
• The Keystone Correction can be adjusted up
to an angle of approximately ±13 degrees and
the screen can also be set up to an angle of
approximately ±13 degrees (when the resize
mode is set to “NORMAL” (see page 34)).
