 Images may not be projected in the corre ct position, depending on the type of the input signal. If this happens, press the AUT O SYNC 
button on the projector or the AUTO butt on on the remote control (see page 18).
4. Adjust the position of the projector to keep an appropriat e projection distance with which images are projected in their 
specified sizes. 
5. Adjust the position of the projector so that the projec tor and the screen are perpendicular to each other (see page 8).
 When the projector cannot be  positioned perpendicularly to the screen, adjust the projection angle (see page 8).

AUTO / AUTO SYNC buttons
When the image being input from the computer is displaced, carry out the following procedure:
1. When the screen saver has been enabled, disable it.
2. Display a bright image (such as a full-screen display of the Recycle Bin window).
3. Press the AUTO button on the remote control or the AUTO SYNC ( ) button on the projector. The projector automatically makes optimum  positional settings for the input signal.
 If the image is not projected in the correct positi on even after you press the AUTO or AUTO SYNC  () button several times, change the 
settings in the SIGNAL menu to put the im age in the correct position (see page 26).
 When you carry out this procedure with  a dark image, the image may be displaced.
When connected to a notebook computer:
When the projector is connected to a note book computer, images may not be projected in  some cases. If this happens, set the computer so that 
it can output signals externally.  The setting procedure varies depending on the type of the computer. See the user manual of yo ur computer.
To stop projecting:
1. Press the STANDBY/ON button on the projector or the STANDBY ( ) button on the remote control.
 A confirmation message is displayed.
 To cancel the procedure, wait  a while or press the MENU button.
2. Press the STANDBY/ON button on the projector or  the STANDBY ( ) button on the remote control again.
 The lamp goes out and the projec tor goes into a cooling period. In this conditi on, the POWER indicator turns red and the STATU S 
indicator blinks green.
3. Wait about one minute for the STATUS indicator to be off and the POWER indicator to be steadily lit in red.
 During this one minute period,  the intake fan and exhaust fan rotate to cool the lamp.
 Do not unplug the power cable while the STATUS indicator is bl inking. Unplugging the power cable immediately after use may cause a 
breakdown. 
 The fan may make loud sounds during  cooling; this is not a malfunction.
