Projecting an Image
The size of a projected image depends on the distance between the projector and screen. Install 
the projector so that the projected image fits the screen size. For details on projection distances 
and projected image sizes, see 
“Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range” (page 91).
 Project the image on a flat surface.
 Due to the characteristics of ultra short throw projector, the image may appear uneven on a 
projection surface that is not absolutely flat. This is not a malfunction of the projector. 
1Plug the AC power cord into the wall 
outlet.
2Connect all equipment to the projector 
(page 9).
3Press the ?/1 key to turn on the unit.
4Turn on the connected equipment.
5Select the input source.
Press the INPUT key on the projector to 
display the menu for switching input 
signal on the screen. Press the INPUT 
key repeatedly, or press the 
V/v key to 
select an image to be projected.
6When projecting a computer image, 
switch your computer’s output to 
external display. 
The method to switch the output varies 
depending on the type of computer.

Changing the aspect ratio of the projected image
Press the ASPECT key on the remote commander to change the aspect ratio of the projected 
image. You can also change the setting in Aspect of the Screen menu (pages 23, 25).
Correcting trapezoidal distortion of the projected image (Keystone feature) 
If the image becomes trapezoidal, set the keystone manually. 
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the remote commander or select V Keystone in the Installation 
menu. 
2Use the V/v/B/b keys to set the value. The higher the value, narrower the top of the projected 
image. The lower the value, the narrower the bottom.
 Since the Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction, the image may be deteriorated.
 Depending on the position adjusted with the lens shift feature, the aspect ratio of the image may 
change from the original or projected image may be distorted with Keystone adjustment.
 If you perform keystone adjustment and use mouse mode, the position of the Interactive Pen 
Device and the computer cursor may not match. In this case, perform the calibration again.

Fitting the projected image to the screen (Digital Shrink adjustment)
If the projected image exceeds the size of the screen, you can shrink and adjust the position of it.
1Select “Rid. digitale” in the Installation menu.
2Set the shrinking rate.
Press the V/v/B/b key to adjust the value. The more the value increases towards the plus side, 
the smaller the projected image becomes.
3Press the ENTER button to display the shift adjustment menu and adjust the display position of 
the projected image.
Press the V/v/B/b key to adjust the display position.
 If the shrinking rate is set to “0,” you cannot move the image. If the projector is projecting an 
image with a resolution that is different from the panel display resolution of this projector, it may 
not be possible to move the image.
 When you use the PC Free Interactive function or mouse mode, do not perform Digital Shrink 
adjustment. The position of the Interactive Pen Device may slip off out of the image (VPL-
SW636C only).
Displaying a pattern
You can display a pattern for adjusting the projected image or a grid pattern with the PATTERN 
key on the remote commander. Press the PATTERN key again to restore the previous image. 
You can use a grid pattern as a guide to write text or to draw lines and shapes on the whiteboard 
or blackboard without using a computer.
You cannot use this key when “Type A USB”, “Type B USB” or “Network” is selected as the input.
Automatically adjusting Phase, Pitch, and Shift of the projected image while 
a signal is input from a computer (APA (Auto Pixel Alignment))
Press the APA key on the remote commander. Press again to cancel adjusting during the setting.
You can also set APA in the Screen Menu (page 24). If Smart APA in the Function menu is set 
to “On”, executes APA automatically when a signal is input (page 27).
