Top view
Align the center of the lens with the center of the 
screen.
Front view
The lens is offset 7.9 mm (
5/16 inch) to the right from 
the center of the supporting pole. When mounting, 
take care to align the center of the lens with the center 
of the screen; not the center of the supporting pole.
Side view
Step 2: 
Connecting the 
Projector
When making connections, be sure to do the 
following:
 Turn off all equipment before making any 
connections.
 Use the proper cables for each connection.
 Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not 
fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling 
out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not 
the cable itself.
 Refer to the operating instructions of the connected 
equipment.
 When you connect your projector to PJ MULTI or 
DVI connector, select the input signal with the 
“Input-A Signal Sel.” or “Digital Signal Sel.” 
setting in the SET SETTING   menu. (1 page 
29)
Note
Before you change the “Digital Signal Sel.” setting, disconnect 
the DVI cable and turn off the digital tuner, etc.

6Adjust the size and position of 
the picture to fit the screen.
When projecting using both “Side Shot” and 
“V Keystone” adjustments
1Use the adjuster to adjust the vertical 
position.
If you set “V Keystone” in the INSTALL 
SETTING menu to “Auto” (1 page 29), the 
vertical distortion will be automatically corrected.
For how to use the adjuster, see “Using the 
adjuster” on page 18.
Note
The “V Keystone” adjustment may not correct trapezoidal 
distortion perfectly, depending on the room temperature or the 
screen angle.
2Adjust so that the left or right side of the 
picture fits that of the screen. 
If you position the projector on the left side of the 
screen, adjust so that the left side of the picture fits 
the left side of the screen. With the projector 
positioned on the right side, adjust so that the right 
side fits the right side of the screen.
At the same time, align the bottom side of the 
picture with that of the screen. 
3Adjust to correct horizontal trapezoidal 
distortion using the SIDE SHOT + or – 
button.
Press SIDE SHOT + or – so that the upper side of 
the picture becomes parallel to the bottom side. If 
the left side is longer than the right side, press 
SIDE SHOT –.Press SIDE SHOT + if the right side is longer. To fine-
adjust the distortion, press M or m.
When projecting using “Side Shot” 
adjustment only
1Set “V Keystone” in the INSTALL SETTING 
to “Manual,” and set the level to “0” (1 
page 29) or press RESET.
2Adjust so that the left or right side of the 
picture fits that of the screen. 
If you position the projector on the left side of the 
screen, adjust so that the left side of the picture fits 
the left side of the screen. With the projector 
positioned on the right side, adjust so that the right 
side fits the right side of the screen.
At the same time, adjust the vertical size of the 
aligned side of the picture to fit the screen using 
ZOOM +/–.
3Adjust to correct horizontal trapezoidal 
distortion using the SIDE SHOT + or – 
button.
For how to correct, see step 3 in 
“When 
projecting using both 
“Side Shot” and “V 
Keystone
” adjustments.”
