Adjust the image
Adjusting the angle height
Turn the two feet on the bottom of the projector
to adjust the image height and projection angle (see
illustration at right).
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, 
the projected image becomes distorted (trapezoidal). To correct 
this problem, adjust the Keystone value in the Setup menu.
Auto-adjusting the image
When you press the Auto button on the projector, the built-in intelligent 
auto-adjustment function will readjust the values of Frequency and 
Clock to provide the best image quality.
The current source information will display at the bottom right cornor of 
the screen for 3 seconds.
The screen will be blank while the auto-adjustment is functioning.
Fine-tuning the image size and clarity
Optimizing the image
To optimize the image, use the remote control or on-screen menus. For the operation of on-screen 
menus, please refer to  .
The following steps are optional. You do not need to follow every step. It depends on the image 
quality you desire.
Note
•  Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.
•  A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp 
could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp 
depends on conditions of use.)
•  The DMDTM is made using extremely advanced technology, but there may be black spots (pixels 
that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. Please note that these 
are not malfunctions.
1. Use the zoom ring to adjust the projected 
image to the size you need.2. Then sharpen the image by rotating the 
focus ring.

1. Selecting a picture mode
Select a picture mode on the remote control (or in the Picture > Load 
Settings menu). The following four modes are available for each 
input, with preset values suitable for various projection purposes:
QDynamic
QStandard
QTheater 1
QTheater 2
You also can customize the picture settings by adjusting the functions 
in the Picture menu, and save those settings as USER MEMORY 1, 2, 
or 3. For more information, refer to  .
2. Selecting a Screen Size
The aspect ratio is the ratio of image width to image height. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9, which is 
the default for this projector. Most TV shows are 4:3.
Change the image ratio using the SCREEN SIZE buttons on the remote control (or in the Display > 
Screen Size menu). Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal. The following five 
aspect ratios are available:
In the pictures below, the black portions are active areas and the white portions are inactive areas.
Notes
Using these functions to change the size of the displayed image (i.e. changing the height/width ratio 
from the original) for purpose of public display or commercial gain may infringe on copyright laws.

1.Full: Scales an image so 
that it is displayed in the 
center of the screen in 
16:9 aspect ratio. This 
mode is best for squeeze-signal video images.
2.4:3: Scales an image so 
that it is displayed in the 
center of the screen in 4:3 
aspect ratio. This mode is 
best for 4:3-signal video 
images displayed on a 4:3 size screen.
3.Zoom: Enlarges an 
image with letterbox 
format to display it in full-
screen format in 16:9 
aspect ratio. The upper 
and lower portions of the 
image are cropped. Use this setting for 
Cinemascope and Vista video wide-screen 
formats.4.Theater Wide®: A 
4:3 aspect ratio 
image is enlarged 
NON-linearly in 
horizontal direction 
to accommodate 16:9 full-screen 
display. This stretches only the right 
and left sides of the image; the central 
part is unchanged. This mode is best 
for 4:3-signal video images displayed 
on a wide screen.
5.Through: 
Projects the input 
signal in its 
original size 
(without any 
scaling), with the image displayed at 
the center of the screen.

Additional information
Care of the projector
To care for your projector, clean the lens and projector case on a regular basis, following the 
instructions below.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the user-replaceable lamp. Contact your dealer if other 
parts need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! Before cleaning the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power 
cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.
1. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust (available from building hardware or 
photographic suppliers).
2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a photographic lens brush or a clean, soft lens 
cloth (moistened with lens cleaner, if necessary) to gently wipe the lens surface.
NEVER touch the lens with your bare hands or rub the lens with abrasive materials (products such as 
paper towels can damage the lens coating). ALWAYS use a photographic lens brush or lens cleaning 
cloth and solution.
NEVER attempt to clean the lens while the projector is on or while it is still hot from previous use.
Cleaning the projector case
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! Before cleaning the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power 
cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.
1. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
2. If the soiling is severe, dip the cloth in a neutral detergent diluted in water, wring well, and gently 
wipe off the dirt, then finish up by wiping with a dry cloth.
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These products can damage the 
case.
Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, follow these guidelines:
1. Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range 
for the projector. Please refer to the Specifications page in this manual or consult your dealer.
2. Retract the adjuster feet.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
4. Pack the projector in its original packing (preferred) or equivalent packing materials.
Transporting the projector
Ship the projector in its original packing (preferred) or equivalent packing materials. If you carry the 
projector yourself, use a protective, non-abrasive carrying case.
 WARNING
•  Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector dealership. 
Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, 
thus resulting in injury.
