							Focusing and zoomingFocus the projected image with the FOCUS control either 
the imageon the control panel or remote control. Adjust the image
size by using the ZOOM control on the control panel or
remote control.
Keystone correctionA keystone correction of 17 degrees is built into the 
projector to compensate for image distortion. You may
want to adjust the rear feet of the projector to position 
the image on the screen. 
Image sizeThe projector 20–30mm (1.5:1) motorized zoom/focus lens
provides a high-quality display that ranges from 36 to 240
inches (diagonal). The size of the projected image changes
as you move the projector closer to the screen or adjust the
zoom lens. The following table indicates the minimum and
maximum distance from the projector to the screen for
most standard size projection screens.
Projected image Distance from projection screen
(diagonal) Minimum Maximum
36 in. 42 in. 62.4 in.
60 in. 70.8 in. 104.4 in.
120 in. 141.6 in. 208.8 in.
180 in. 211.2 in. 313.2 in.
240 in. 282 in. 417.6 in.
If you wish to compute your own measurements, use the
following formula:
MIN 20mm: Diagonal/.85   = Distance from screen
MAX 30mm: Diagonal/.574 =  Distance from screen

20Using the projector   
						

							Standby modeUse the Standby mode to prolong the life of the projector
lamp. When you select the Standby mode by pressing the
LAMP key, the green LED power indicator on the rear panel
of the projector begins to blink and continues to do so for 
3 minutes, to allow the projector to cool down. The projec-
tor must complete this 3-minute cool-down period before it
can resume normal operation. The green LED resumes its
normal steady glow at the end of 3 minutes. Press the
LAMP key again to resume operation of the projector.
Warning:The projector lamp should always be turned on
for a minimum of 3 minutes and allowed to cool for at least
3 minutes before you turn it back on again. Failure to follow
these precautions can lead to premature lamp degradation
and, on rare occurrences, lamp rupture. Do not operate the
lamp past the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of the
lamp past its rated life can cause them to fracture or burst.
Using the remote control
The remote control contains all the key functions available
on the projector control panel as well as several additional
features. For the projector to receive signals from the
remote control, point the remote control directly at the
infrared sensor on top of the projector. You can also deflect
the remote-control signal off the projection screen. When
used with the computer IR (infrared) receiver kit, the remote-
control cursor pad controls the movement of your computer
cursor. The remote control also has a low-powered laser for
use as a pointing device during presentations.
Note:For setup procedures for the computer IR (infrared)
receiver, refer to the separate instruction manual included in
your computer IR receiver kit (part number SB06).
Caution:Take care not to point the remote-control laser-
light beam toward your audience. The light beam could
cause eye injury.

Image optimization
Making adjustments Use the projector SETUP and IMAGE menus to adjust the 
to settings settings to fine-tune your projected image.
Your projector factory-default settings are designed 
to configure it with your computer and video sources 
automatically to provide a high-quality projected image.
Because of operational differences between the projector
and computer and video sources, you may want to make
minor setting adjustments to optimize your displayed
image. After connecting your projector to the desired 
source and turning on your equipment, view a test image
on your computer monitor that typifies what you want to
display for presentation purposes.
Eliminating phase barsExamine the projected image for evenly spaced 
“vertical noise” or “phase” bars. Use the PHASE 
option to eliminate them: 
1From the projector control panel or remote control, 
press the IMAGE menu key.
2Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections
and highlight PHASE on the on-screen menu display.
3Use the left arrow () key on the cursor
pad to eliminate the phase bars. Try both arrow keys and
select the one that reduces the number of “phase bars” 
on the screen (by spacing the bars farther apart from one
another). Continue pressing the same arrow key until you
remove all phase bars from the screen. (You may still notice
horizontal noise or jittering on the screen; see the following
for correction.) 
						

							Eliminating Examine the projected image for horizontal noise bars or 
horizontal noisejittering around text or icons. Use the SHARPNESS option to
eliminate them:
1From the projector control panel or remote control, press
the IMAGE menu key.
2Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections
and highlight SHARPNESS on the on-screen menu display.
3Use the left () key on the cursor pad to
eliminate the horizontal noise bars. Adjust the SHARPNESS
setting until the horizontal noise bars or jittering disappears.
Correcting loss of Examine the projected image to evaluate the proper level 
picture detailof brightness and image depth. Use the BRIGHTNESS and
CONTRAST options to correct the loss of picture detail:
1From the projector control panel or remote control, press
the IMAGE menu key.
2Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections
and highlight, alternately, the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST
options on the on-screen menu display.
3Use the left () arrow key on the cursor pad to
adjust brightness and contrast. The correct combination of
brightness and contrast provides a bright image with cor-
rect gray tones on computer images and does not obscure
details in video images.
