Setup
Foot releases
Adjustment feet
Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted
using the adjustment feet when the projector
is placed on an uneven surface or when the
screen is slanted.
The position of the projected image can be
made higher by adjusting the projector when
it is in a location lower than the screen.
1Press the foot releases and lift
the projector to the desired
angle.
2Remove your hands from the
foot releases. Once the adjust-
ment feet have locked in posi-
tion, release the projector.
•If the screen is at an angle, the ad-
justment feet can be used to adjust the
angle of the image.
Note
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 5 degrees from the standard posi-
tion.
•When the height of the projector is ad-
justed, the image may become distorted
(keystoned), depending on the relative
positions of the projector and the screen.
See page 38 for details on the keystone
correction.
Info
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful
not to get your finger caught in the area
between the adjustment foot and the
projector.
