Adjusting the Screen ImageYou can correct and adjust the screen images in order to obtain the best 
possible pictures.Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom Function)
The size of the projected images is basically determined by the distance 
from the projector to the screen.   p.16
The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen images once the 
projector itself has been set up.
PROCEDUREPress the [Zoom] buttons on either the remote control or 
the projectors control panel to adjust the images.
If a standard lens is fitted, the images can be enlarged in this way to 
1.35 times the normal size.
If you press the [5] button on the remote control or the [W] button on 
the projectors control panel, the images are increased in size.
If you press the [2] button on the remote control or the [T] button on 
the projectors control panel, the images are reduced in size.
If you would like to enlarge the images further, move the projector 
further away from the screen.   p.16
TIP
 Do not use electronic zoom adjustment (using button operations) if 
the projector is fitted with an optional rear projection wide lens. 
Refer to the documentation for the rear projection wide lens for 
further details.
 The E-Zoom function can also be used to enlarge parts of the 
images.  p.59

Adjusting the Screen ImageFocusing the Screen Images (Focus Adjustment)
PROCEDUREPress the [Focus] buttons on either the remote control or 
the projectors control panel.
Adjusting the Image Angle
If the projector is set up so that it is at a horizontal or vertical angle to the 
screen, adjust as follows.
 You can use the lens shift function to move the lens vertically in order to 
adjust the vertical position of the lens. This can be used at times such as if 
the screen is in a high position or the projector is suspended from a high 
ceiling.  p.45
 If correct adjustment cannot be obtained using the lens shift function, 
extend the front adjustable feet to tilt the projector.   p.46
When the projector is tilted, keystone distortion may appear in the 
projected images. If this happens, you can correct this keystone 
distortion.  p.47
TIP
 Do not use electronic focus adjustment (using button operations) if 
the projector is fitted with an optional rear projection wide lens. 
Refer to the documentation for the rear projection wide lens for 
further details.
 If the surface of the lens is dirty or misted over as a result of 
condensation, it may not be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If 
this happens, clean or de-mist the lens.   p.115, p.122

Adjusting the Screen Image
If the projector cannot be set up directly in front of the screen, you can 
project images at a horizontal angle to the screen. If keystone distortion 
appears in the images, you can use the projectors Quick Corner function 
to correct this keystone distortion.   p.47
The vertical position of the projection area can be adjusted by moving the 
lens up or down.
PROCEDUREPress the [Lens Shift] buttons on either the remote control 
or the projectors control panel.If you press the [6] button on the remote control or the [ ] button on the 
projectors control panel, the projection area will move up.
 
If you press the [3] button on the remote control or the [ ] button on the 
projectors control panel, the projection area will move down.

Adjusting the Screen Image
You can extend or retract the front adjustable feet to tilt the projector to 
adjust the upward projection angle within a maximum range of 9º.
PROCEDUREWhile pulling the two foot adjust levers at either side, lift 
up the front of the projector so that the front adjustable 
feet can extend.
Extend the front adjustable feet until the desired angle is obtained, 
and then release the foot adjust levers.
To retract the front adjustable feet, gently push down on the projector 
while pulling the foot adjust levers. Adjusting the Front Adjustable Feet
TIP
When using the front adjustable feet to adjust the angle of the 
projector, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the images. If 
this happens, you can use the keystone correction function to correct 
keystone distortion. 
 p.47
Foot adjust levers (side)
TIP
If the projector is tilted horizontally, the heights of the front 
adjustable feet at left and right will not match each other. In this case, 
you can either readjust the height using the foot adjust levers, or turn 
the bases of the front adjustable feet to adjust the angle until the 
projector is horizontal.

Adjusting the Screen ImageCorrecting Distortion in the Projection Area (Keystone Correction) 
The projector is equipped with the following two functions for correcting 
keystone distortion. Use whichever function is effective for correcting the 
distortion.
 Quick Corner:
This correction function is used when both horizontal and vertical 
keystone distortion occurs in the projection area to adjust the projection 
area so that it fits the screen exactly.
 Vertical keystone:
This correction function is used when vertical keystone distortion occurs 
in the projection area.
The keystone correction function lets you easily correct keystone 
distortion that has occurred after moving the projector, simply by using 
buttons on the projectors control panel.   p.49The Quick Corner function is operated using the configuration menu.
Correcting Keystone Distortion so that the Projection 
Area Fits the Screen Exactly (Quick Corner)
TIP
 The Quick Corner and V-Keystone correction functions cannot 
both be used together to correct keystone distortion. If you use one 
function to correct keystone distortion, any correction that has been 
applied using the other function will be cancelled.
 The larger the angle of tilt, the poorer the focus of the contours in 
the projected images will become.
 If a large amount of keystone correction is applied, fine details such 
as text characters and lines may go out of focus.
 Keystone corrections that have been applied using the keystone 
correction functions are memorised even when the projectors power 
is turned off. If you have changed the projection position or angle, 
you will need to repeat the correction procedure.
TIP
If the projector has been tilted during setup to within a range of 45º 
vertically or 40º horizontally, you can use the Quick Corner function 
to correct keystone distortion.
However, the applicable angles will become smaller under the 
following conditions.
 If the projector has been tilted both horizontally and vertically
 If an optional projection lens has been fitted
 If the lens position has been shifted or zoom has been set to W

Adjusting the Screen Image
When the correct is complete, press the [Menu] 
button on either the remote control or the projectors 
control panel.
Vertical keystone correction can be carried out using either the projectors 
control panel or the configuration menus. This procedure explains how to 
use the projectors control panel to correct keystone distortion.
For adjustment using the configuration menus: 
See Setting - Keystone - V-Keystone   p.80PROCEDURE
TIP
 If you hold down the [Shift] button on the projectors control panel 
while pressing the [Sync +], [Sync -], [Tracking +] and [Tracking -] 
buttons, the units by which the adjustment value changes will 
become greater, so that correction can be carried out more quickly.
 If you press down the [ESC] button on either the remote control or 
the projectors control panel for one second while the Quick Corner 
correction screen is displayed, the correction results will be restored 
to their default values.
 If the message Cannot move anymore. appears on the screen 
while using the Quick Corner function, it means that the limit for 
correction has been reached. Check the following two points.
· Is the projection distance appropriate for the size of the projection 
screen?  p.16
· Is the projector tilted too much?   p.47
 If the input signal is interrupted or a signal that is not supported is 
input while using the Quick Corner function, the correction value at 
that point will be recorded and then the Quick Corner function will 
then be exited.
 If the Quick Corner correction screen is displayed while the E-Zoom 
function is being used, E-Zoom function will be cancelled.4
Correcting Vertical Keystone Distortion (V-Keystone)
TIP
If the projector has been tilted during setup to within a range of 45º 
vertically, you can use the vertical keystone function to correct 
keystone distortion.
However, the applicable angles will become smaller under the 
following conditions.
 If an optional projection lens has been fitted
 If the lens position has been shifted or zoom has been set to W
