ENGLISH - 34 Settings POSITION menu This projector detects its own degree of tilt and corrects the keystone distortion automatically. OFF: Deactive ON: Active This projector detects its own degree of tilt and corrects the keystone distortion automatically (“REALTIME KEYSTONE”). However, keystone distortion may still affect the images in some cases (e.g. when the projector is tilted slightly and the tilt is corrected slowly by hand or when the screen itself is tilted). In such cases, set “REALTIME KEYSTONE” to “OFF” and correct the vertical keystone distortion manually.(S-VIDEO/VIDEO/COMPUTER/COMPONENT signals only) You can move the projected image for fine adjustment. Press I H to move horizontally and F G vertically. (COMPUTER signals only) If you have interference patterns of the projected image, which is sometimes referred to as moire or noise, you can minimize it by pressing I H to adjust the clock frequency. (COMPUTER/COMPONENT signals only) If you require further adjustment for the same reason as the DOT CLOCK adjustment, you can fine adjust the timing of the clock. Press I H to adjust. (S-VIDEO/VIDEO/480i, 576i, 480p and 576p COMPONENT signals only) You can switch the aspect ratio manually when needed. Press I H to cycle through the options. REALTIME KEYSTONE KEYSTONE ImageOperation NOTE: • You can correct the distortion ± 30 degrees from the plane. For a better quality image, installing the projector with a minimum of distortion is recommended. • The distortion of the Main menu screen is not correctable. • The result of the keystone correction will affect the aspect ratio and the size of the image. • You can correct the keystone distortion manually when “REALTIME KEYSTONE” is set to “ON”. However, when you turn on the power, the amount of correction will be reset and “REALTIME KEYSTONE” will function again if the tilt is different from the last time you used the projector. If you correct the keystone distortion manually when “REALTIME KEYSTONE” is set to “OFF”, the amount of correction will be stored by the projector even after the power is turned off. Remote control Control panel See “Navigating through the MENU” on page 29. See “Main menu and Sub-menu” on page 30. POSITION DOT CLOCK NOTE: • If the projecting signal’s dot clock frequency is higher than 100 MHz, the adjustment may not make a difference. •DOT CLOCK needs to be adjusted before adjusting the CLOCK PHASE. CLOCK PHASE NOTE: • If the projecting signal’s dot clock frequency is higher than 100 MHz, the adjustment may not make a difference. •CLOCK PHASE is available with PC signals and the following COMPONENT connection.

QS4:3 The input signal will be sized down 75 % and projected. S4:3 mode is effective when projecting 4:3 image on to a 16:9 screen. QAUTO The S1 signal which contains an identifying signal will be detected and automatically project the image in proper ratio.(S-VIDEO/VIDEO/COMPUTER/COMPONENT signals only) When the input signal resolution is lower than the projector resolution, it will be projected at the projector resolution. You can deactivate the RESIZING and project the lower resolution input signal at its original resolution. Press I H to select the required setting. ONActive OFFDeactive (COMPUTER signals only) If the projected image is degraded, you can activate FRAME LOCK for synchronisation. Press I H to select the required option. OFFDeactive ONActive 1. Press the MENU button to display the menu screen. Indicates the language which is currently set 2. Select the “LANGUAGE” menu from the main menu, and then press the ENTER button. 3. Press the F or G button to select a language, and then press the ENTER button. NOTE: • If you project an image with an unmatched aspect ratio, the image may distort or some portions may be cropped. Select an aspect ratio which preserves the intention of the image creator. • The order of ASPECT types is defined not only by the input method but also by the input signals. “List of compatible signals” on page 46 • If you project a copyrighted image enlarged or distorted by using ASPECT function in commercial use in a public place, such as a restaurant or hotel, you might infringe on the copyright of the creator which is protected by copyright law. S1 video signals • S1 video signals are a type of video signal with an aspect ratio of 16:9 which include a detector signal. This detector signal is output by some sources such as wide-vision video decks. • When “ASPECT” is set to “AUTO”, the projector recognizes the detector signal and automatically switches the aspect ratio to 16:9. RESIZING NOTE: • Usually the recommended setting is ON. • When the RESIZING is set to ON, the lower resolution input signal may be projected in less quality. When the RESIZING is set to OFF; • The size of the image will be projected smaller and you may need to adjust ZOOM and FOCUS, or the projector position backwards and forwards. •DIGITAL ZOOM, REALTIME KEYSTONE, KEYSTONE and INDEX-WINDOW are not available.
