•
•• •If only one signal source has been connected, the signals from that source will be 
projected without needing to press one of the above buttons.
•
•• •If video signals are being input to several input ports simultaneously, interference 
between the various signals may occur, and this may cause interference in the 
projected images. If this happens, turn off the power supply or disconnect the 
video equipment which is not currently being used.
•
•• •If the No Signal. message does not disappear, check the connections again.
No images will be projected during the time that it takes for signals to be input from 
the video source.
•
•• •If a laptop computer or a computer with an LCD screen has been connected to the 
projector, the images may not be projected straight away. After making the 
connections, check that the computer has been set up to output signals.
The following table shows examples of how to toggle output settings. For details, 
refer to the section of the documentation provided with your computer under a 
heading such as External output, Connecting an external monitor or similar.

Basic Operations
Turning Off the Projector
Follow the procedure below to turn off the power of the projector.
1Turn off the power for the signal 
sources that are connected to the 
projector.
Check that the power for all connected 
components has been tuned off.
2Press the [STANDBY/ON] button on the 
projectors control panel or the   
button on the remote control.
The confirmation message shown at left will 
appear.
If you do not want to turn off the power, press any 
button except the [STANDBY/ON] button.
If you do not carry out any operation, the 
message will disappear after seven seconds. (The 
power will not turn off at this time.)
3Press the [STANDBY/ON] button on the 
projectors control panel or the   
button on the remote control once 
more.
The lamp will switch off, the    indicator will 
flash orange and cool-down
  will start. 
The remote control and the projectors control 
panel cannot be operated while cool-down is in 
progress (about 30 seconds).
After cool-down is complete, the   indicator 
will change to lit orange (standby mode).
4If not using the projector for long 
periods of time, disconnect the power 
cord plug from the wall outlet.
Always make sure that the projector is in standby 
mode before disconnecting the power cord.
The   indicator will continue to light for a 
short period after the power cord is disconnected, 
and then it will turn off.

Do not disconnect the power cord while the projector is projecting or while 
cool-down is in progress. If the power cord is disconnected at times such as 
when projection is in progress, wait for the lamp to cool down (normally about 
one hour is required) before turning the power back on again. If the power is 
turned off and on before the lamp has cooled down, it may result in lamp 
operating errors. Refer to Lamp operating error on page 42.

Basic Operations
Adjusting the Screen Image
You can adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible picture.
The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. 
(Refer to the Setup Guide.)
The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the projector itself has been set up.
1Press the [SETTING] button on the 
projectors control panel or the   
button on the remote control.
An adjustment icon will be displayed over the 
image during projection.
The adjustment mode changes as follows each 
time the [SETTING] button on the projectors 
control panel is pressed.
Zoom →
→→ → Focus → 
→ →  → Iris
2Adjust the image size.
If using the projectors control panel, press the    
or   button to adjust the image size.
If using the remote control, tilt the   button to 
adjust the image size.
Adjustment is also possible while a test pattern is 
being projected. (p.14)
3Exit adjustment mode.
Press the [ESCAPE] button on the projectors 
control panel or the   button on the remote 
control.
Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom adjustment)
When the electronic zoom lock is set to 
ON, the projection size cannot be 
adjusted.
The   symbol will be displayed at this 
time. To carry out adjustments, change 
the electronic zoom lock setting to 
OFF. (p.34)

							Adjusting the Screen Image
12
The lens shift function can be used to adjust the position of projected images when the projector has been set 
up in places such as the following.
•
•• •When the projector is suspended from a ceiling
•
•• •When the screen is higher than the projector
•
•• •When the projector is at an angle to the screen so that people can sit directly in front to view the screen
•
•• •When the projector is on top of a desk or similar
The lens shift function can move the lens horizontally and vertically to adjust the image position without 
causing keystone distortion. Use the two lens shift dials to adjust the position of the projected images.
* At the time of shipment from the factory, the vertical lens shift position is set to the lowest position, so 
move it to the center position before carrying out adjustment.
* The dotted lines indicate the projection range from the lens center position.
* The lens cannot be shifted to the maximum vertical and horizontal positions at the same time.
Adjustment procedureTurn the two lens shift dials to adjust.
When the lens shift dial is turned, a point of 
resistance will be felt. This indicates the 
approximate center point for the range of 
adjustment. In addition, if the lens shift dial 
becomes hard to turn further and the image 
position stops changing, no further adjustment is 
possible.
Projection image position adjustment (Lens shift)
If the projected images are tilted horizontally, use the left and right front adjustable feet to 
adjust the projector so that it is level.

(Can be shifted by a 
maximum of half the screen 
width) Lens at maximum right
(Can be shifted by a 
maximum of half the 
screen width)Lens at maximum down
(Can be shifted by a 
maximum of half the 
screen width)
Lens at maximum up
(Can be shifted by a 
maximum of one 
screen width) Horizontal lens shift: The projector can be set up 
anywhere between the left and 
right edges of the screen.Vertical lens shift: The projector can be set up anywhere 
from the top edge of the screen to half 
the height of the screen below the 
bottom edge.

Basic Operations
Adjusting the Screen Image
When you wish to adjust the projection above or below the range of lens shift adjustment set the projector at 
an angle.
When the projector is angled, the projected image may distort into a trapezoid.
Keystone distortion can be corrected within a maximum vertical angle of approximately 15°.
Adjustment procedure
Correcting Keystone Distortion (Keystone)
•
•• •The image quality will be lower than if the lens shift function is used.
•
•• •When the lens is shifted to the left or right, complete keystone correction is not possible. 
When making keystone corrections set the lens at the center left to right.
•
•• •When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.
•
•• •The keystone correction settings are memorized, so that if you change the position or 
angle of the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone correction settings.
•
•• •If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out, 
decrease the “Sharpness” setting. (p.30)
•
•• •Keystone correction can also be carried out using the projector menu. (p.33)
•
•• •If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when horizontal or 
vertical keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for horizontal 
or vertical keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector has not 
been set up at an angle which exceeds the proper limit.
