Basic Operation
If the lens is heavy or the projector is installed so that it is tilted, the lens may be tilted, resulting in the focus 
becoming unbalanced. 
In such a case, refer to the figure 4 and table below, and follow the procedure below to perform adjustment.
Adjustment procedure  z
1
  Display the internal test pattern grid, and defocus the image.
2
  Adjust the lens focus till one or more sides of the grid comes into focus. Note the appropriate screws 
for the out-of-focus sides of the grid as described below.
3
  Remove the lens cover and lens. 
4
  Loosen the locking screws for each of the adjustment screws a, b and c as needed, following the 
indications in the example. The screws to be adjusted correspond to the out-of-focus sides of the 
image.
Attention
Be careful because turning a screw more than twice to loosen it will result in the spring becoming detached  • 
and the projector needing to be repaired.
Make adjustments in up to two places, and fully turn the screw clockwise in at least one place. • 
5
  Reinstall the lens. The adjustment screws can be accessed through the lens flange.
6
  Turn the adjustment screws (corresponding to the locking screws loosened in step 4) counterclockwise 
slightly till the out-of-focus image sides are in focus. (Turning the screws counterclockwise moves the 
lens bracket and tilts the lens toward the screen.)
7
  Readjust the lens shift position with the remote if needed.
8
  Refocus the image as in steps 1 and 2 above. Fine adjust the focus evenness as needed, as described in 
step 6.
9
  When adjustment is complete, remove the lens and then tighten the locking screws.
j
  Install the lens and lens cover.
Tool to be used: Allen hex socket driver or Allen wrench (2.5 mm diagonal hexagon)
An Allen wrench is supplied with the ET-D75LE6 and ET-D75LE8 optional lens.

Precautions for projector installation work  z
When installing the projector without using the adjustable feet, insert metal spacers (10 mm to 20 mm) 
between the projector base and the installation surface to ensure adequate airflow. Furthermore, use the screw 
holes (shown in the figure) for ceiling mounting to fix the projector in place. (Screw diameter: M6, set inside 
screw length: 8 mm maximum)
Note that if the cabinet is touching the installation surface when used, it may take a while until the images 
stabilize after the power is turned on.
Base
Gap (10 mm to 20 mm) Spacers
Make sure air can circulate 
around the air intake 
vent. Failure to do so may 
result in the projector not 
operating properly.

operating section of the main unit. When its data 
has been registered, the “MAIN MENU” screen is 
displayed.
Note
The data of 96 input signals can be registered in the  •

Signals appropriate to the optional input cards  • 
will also be registered in the memories as they are 
input.
The 96 memories are numbered over 12 pages (A  • 
to L: 8 data items can be registered on each page), 
and the data is registered in the unused memory 
location with the lowest number. If all the memories 
are filled, the data of the old signals is overwritten in 
sequence.
The names of the registered data are automatically  • 
determined according to the type of signal and the 
available memory number, but they can be renamed 
as described below.
If a menu is being displayed, the new signals will be  • 
registered at the instant they are input.

Sub memory
The projector has a sub-memory function that can be 
used to store several sets of adjustments for a given 
registered signal.
Sub-memories should be used when the operator 
needs to preadjust the picture settings or white 
balance, or to change the aspect setting when using 
signals from the same input source.
Sub-memory contains all data that can be adjusted 
such as screen aspect ratio and image adjustment 
data (BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST etc.).
How to register into sub memory  „
A new input signal must first be registered before 
it can be saved to a sub-memory.
Press ◄► on normal screen  1. 
(menu is not displayed).
A “Check sub-memory registration” screen will  • 
appear if sub-memory has not been registered.
The screen will show a list of the sub-memories  • 
registered for the currently entered signal.
If “SUB MEMORY” is selected from the  • 
“FUNC1” menu in the “PROJECTOR SETUP” 
menu, you can use the FUNC1 button instead 
of the ◄► buttons. (p. 81)

Basic Operation
 
Automatic adjustment 
(AUTO SETUP)
The automatic setup function can be used to 
automatically adjust the resolution, clock phase and 
picture position when analog RGB signals consisting 
of bitmap images such as computer signals are being 
input, or to automatically adjust the picture position 
when DVI-D signals are being input. (The automatic 
setup function does not work with video format 
signals such as signals output from a DVD player.)
It is recommended to supply images with a bright 
white frame at the outermost periphery containing 
characters etc. that are clear in white and black 
contrast when the system is in automatic adjustment 
mode. Avoid supplying images that involve halftones 
or gradation such as photographs and computer 
graphics.
Press AUTO SETUP on the  1. 
remote control or the main unit.
A message “COMPLETE” appears if  • 
adjustment is ended normally.
Note
“CLOCK PHASE” may have been shifted even  • 
when the adjustment ended normally. In this case, 
manually adjust the “CLOCK PHASE”.
If an image with blurred edges or a dark  • 
image is input, “INCOMPLETE” may appear or 
adjustment may not be performed properly even 
if “COMPLETE” appears. In this case, manually 
adjust the items of “INPUT RESOLUTION”, 
“CLOCK PHASE” and “SHIFT”.
For specific signals and landscape signals such  • 
as 16:9, adjustment should be made according to 
“AUTO SETUP” in the option menu.
Automatic adjustment may not be available  • 
depending on the machine type of the personal 
computer.
Automatic adjustment may not available for  • 
synchronization signal of C-SYNC and G-SYNC.
Image may be distorted for several seconds during  • 
automatic adjustment. This is not a malfunction.
For every supplied signal, adjustment is required. • 
Automatic adjustment can be canceled by pressing  • 
the MENU button during the course of automatic 
adjustment.
Even for an RGB signal for which automatic setup  • 
is possible, if automatic setup is performed while 
moving images are being input, “INCOMPLETE” 
may appear, or adjustment may not be performed 
properly even if “COMPLETE” appears.
Turning on button 
illumination
Button illumination for the remote control can be 
turned on.
Press LIGHT on the remote  1. 
control.
Note
If no operations are carried out for approximately  • 
10 seconds, button illumination will turn off 
automatically.
Using the FUNC1 button
“DISABLE”, “P IN P” (pp. 83-84), “SUB MEMORY” 
(pp. 44-45), “SYSTEM SELECTOR” (pp. 56-57), or 
“FREEZE” (p. 81) operations can be assigned to the 
FUNC1 button on the remote control so that it can be 
used as an easy shortcut button.
Note
Refer to “Setting FUNC1” for details. (p. 81) • 
Displaying the internal
