• When adjusting the height of the projector,
trapezoidal distortion occurs. Follow the pro-

distortion. (See page 32.)

Correcting Trapezoidal
DistortionAdjustment buttons
(P/R/O/Q) KEYSTONE
button
When the image is projected either from
the top or from the bottom towards the
screen at an angle, the image becomes
distorted trapezoidally. The function for
correcting trapezoidal distortion is
called Keystone Correction.
There are the two types of the Keystone
Correction.
1) The “GEOMETRIC  ADJUSTMENT”
method corrects trapezoidal distor-
tion by specifying 4 marks on the
screen.
2) The “H & V KEYSTONE” method fea-
tures corrections to 2 axes (horizon-
tal and vertical) based on numerical
values.

The display disappears.
• When corrections are made with Keystone cor-
rection, the changes are saved even if the
power cord is unplugged.
• Since Keystone correction digitally corrects
the signal, resolution may slightly decrease
when it is used. Moiré patterns and line dis-
tortions may also be visible in detailed images.
However, this is not a malfunction.
• If you cannot correct trapezoidal distortion with
Keystone correction, change the placement
position of the projector.
• Straight lines and the edges of the displayed
image may appear jagged, when adjusting the
Keystone setting.
• Also read “About Copyrights” on page 37.

Adjust the focus, size, and projec-
tion angle so that the screen
edges line up into the blue area.
• Line up the screen edges into the blue
area as closely as possible.
• The placement of the screen and the projector
may result in the image aspect ratio becoming
slightly distorted.
• Try “H&V KEYSTONE” when “GEOMETRIC
ADJUSTMENT” does not fully correct trapezoi-
dal distortion.
Note
•When adjusting a 4:3-aspect-ratio input sig-
nal to a 4:3-aspect-ratio screen, correct the
trapezoidal distortion by setting “RESIZE”
to “STRETCH” (16:9).

About Copyrights
• When using the RESIZE function to select an image size with a different aspect ratio
to a TV program or video image, the image will look different from its original appear-
ance. Keep this in mind while choosing an image size.
• The use of the Resize, Keystone Correction, Subtitle, or Overscan function to com-
press or stretch the image for commercial purposes/public displays in a café, hotel,
etc. may be an infringement of copyright protected by law for copyright holders. Please
use caution.
• While watching non-widescreen images (4:3), if you use the RESIZE function to fill
the screen or use the Overscan function to change the aspect ratio of a fixed-ratio
input signal, parts of the outer edge of the image will be cut off or distorted. To watch
original images as the producers intended, set RESIZE to “SIDE BAR” and Overscan
to its default setting.
• You can select “CINEMA ZOOM” when with a “VGA/SVGA” signal with a vertical frequency 60 Hz and
less. However, when a “VGA/SVGA” signal with a vertical frequency of more than 60 Hz is used,
“CINEMA ZOOM” is not available.
