Auto Input Source Selection 
When you turn on the projector, it checks the status of each input source (whether or not 
the input source is sending a signal) in the sequence shown below. It automatically selects 
the first input source it finds that is sending an input signal, and projects the applicable 
image.
If the RGB input terminal is connected to a computer and the S-VIDEO input terminal is 
connected to a video deck and signals are being supplied by both, for example, the projector 
automatically selects RGB input when it is turned on. The currently selected input source 
name is shown in the upper right corner of the projection screen.
zIf the projector does not find any input signal, the message “No signal input” appears in 
place of the input source name.
zWhether the displayed input source name shows [RGB] or [Component] depends on the 
current “Input Settings J RGB Input” (page 42) setting that is configured on the 
projector’s setup menu.
zNote that the projector does not select the input source automatically when “Off” is 
selected for the “Option Settings1 J Auto Input Detect” (page 45) setting on the setup 
menu.

Projection Operations
Manually Selecting the Input Source
The procedure you should use to select the input source depends on whether you are using 
projector keys or remote controller keys.
zTo select the input source using projector keys, press the [INPUT] key on the projector to 
cycle through input sources in the sequence shown below.
zTo select the input source using remote controller keys, press the [RGB/COMPONENT], 
[VIDEO], or [S-VIDEO] key on the remote controller to select the input source you want.
The currently selected input source name is shown in the upper right corner of the projection 
screen.
zIf the currently selected input source is not sending an input signal, the message “No 
signal input” appears in place of the input source name.
zWhether the displayed input source name shows [RGB] or [Component] depends on the 
current “Input Settings J RGB Input” (page 42) setting that is configured on the 
projector’s setup menu.

Zoom and Focus
Use the [ZOOM] keys to adjust the image size, and the [FOCUS] keys to focus the image. 
To adjust image size 
1.Hold down the [ZOOM +] key to increase the size of the image or the 
[ZOOM –] key to decrease it. 
zThis causes the zoom indicator, which indicates the current zoom setting, to appear on 
the image. 
2.Release the [ZOOM] key when the image is the size you want. 
zThe zoom indicator will disappear from the image automatically if you do not perform 
any further key operation for a certain amount of time.
To focus the image
1.Hold down [FOCUS S] or [FOCUS T] to adjust the focus.  
zThis causes the focus indicator, which indicates the current focus setting, to appear on 
the image. 
2.When the focus is the way you want, release the [FOCUS] key. 
zThe focus indicator will disappear from the image automatically if you do not perform 
any further key operation for a certain amount of time.
zYou can also focus automatically by pressing the [AF/AK] key. For more information, see 
“Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction (AF/AK)” (page 9). 
zThe focus and zoom indicators may not appear under certain conditions (when the 
startup logo is displayed, when the image and audio are muted, during password input, 
etc.). Though the indicators do not appear, focus and zoom adjustment can still be 
performed by pressing the applicable keys.

Projection Operations
Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image
When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and 
horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input 
source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by 
pressing the [AUTO] key. 
zYou can turn off auto adjustment (page 46) when you want to disable auto adjustment 
and maintain manual settings.
zThe projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in 
progress.
zIf an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to 
adjust items manually. For details, see “Image Adjustment” on page 31.
When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may 
have different length left and right edges, or top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is 
called, “keystoning”. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual 
keystone correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image. The following shows 
the allowable angle that the projector can be positioned relative to the screen.

zResize Image To Fit: On 
zActual correction ranges are affected by the type of signal being projected, zoom, the 
“Resize Image To Fit” setting, the aspect ratio setting, and other factors.
zKeystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original 
(uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image 
becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented 
close to the configuration shown under “Setting Up the Projector” in the “User’s Guide 
(Basic Operations)”.
Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction (AF/AK)
The [AF/AK] key can be configured to perform one of the three Auto Focus (AF) and auto 
keystone correction operations described below. For information about configuring the [AF/AK] 
key operation, see “Option Settings2 J AF/AK Mode” on page 59.
AF/AK Mode (initial default):Pressing the [AF/AK] key performs both keystone correction and 
Auto Focus. 
Continuous AF/AK Mode:Pressing the [AF/AK] key projects an alignment chart that comes 
in handy when the projection distance is relatively far or when 
projecting at an angle. With the Continuous AF/AK mode, the 
projector continually performs Auto Focus as the projector is 
moved. For details about using the Continuous AF/AK mode, see 
“Performing Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction while 
Continuous AF/AK is Enabled”, below.
AF Mode:Pressing the [AF/AK] key again performs Auto Focus only.
Performing Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction while 
Continuous AF/AK is Enabled
Perform the following steps while [Continuous AF/AK] is selected for “Option Settings2 J AF/
AK Mode” (page 59) on the setup menu.  
1.Press the [AF/AK] key. 
zThis enters the pre-focus mode, which projects an alignment chart like the one shown 
below. 
zThe size of the alignment chart depends on screen and projector setup conditions.

2.Adjust the angle and position of the projector as required so the 
projected chart fits within the screen area. 
3.Press the [AF/AK] key again. 
zThis performs auto keystone correction. 
Auto Adjustment at Power On 
While [Continuous AF/AK] is selected for “Option Settings2 J Power On AF/AK Mode” (page 
60) on the setup menu, turning on the projector automatically enters the pre-focus mode and 
projects the alignment chart. Perform the procedure starting from step 2 under “Performing 
Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction while Continuous AF/AK is Enabled” above.
zWhen [AF] is selected for “Option Settings2 J AF/AK Mode” on the setup menu, only 
Auto Focus is performed when the [AF/AK] key is pressed. 
zIf the message “Outside of Auto Focus range. Relocate the projector to change the 
distance from the screen, and then press the AF/AK button.” appears, try moving the 
screen and/or projector so the distance between them is within the auto focus range 
(approximately 0.8 to 4 meters). Note that the actual auto focus range will depend on 
screen and projector setup conditions, and other factors. When the distance is outside the 
auto focus range, use manual focus. 
zNote that certain screen and projector conditions, and other environmental factor may 
make it impossible to perform auto keystone correction and Auto Focus correctly. In this 
case, adjust settings manually. 
zProper Auto keystone correction and Auto Focus are not possible if the projector is not 
on a level surface. Make sure you set up the projector correctly, in accordance with the 
information under “Getting Ready” in the “User’s Guide (Basic Operations)”. 
Manual Keystone Correction
Manual keystone correction can be used to correct for both vertical and horizontal keystoning.
To use manual keystone correction
1.Press the [KEYSTONE] key.
zThis causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.
2.Use the [S] and [T] keys to select either “Vertical Keystone Correction” 
or “Horizontal Keystone Correction”.
