Correcting Trapezoidal
Distortion
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.
Note
•The Keystone Correction can be adjusted up
to an angle of approximately ±30 degrees and
the screen can also be set up to an angle of
approximately ±30 degrees (when the resize
mode is set to “STRETCH” for the video sig-
nal input or “SIDE BAR” for the computer sig-
nal input).
•The Keystone Correction cannot be adjusted
in the lateral direction.
•For details about the setup, see pages 7 and
16.

Basic Operation
Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted us-
ing the adjustment feet at the front and rear of
the projector when the screen is not perpen-
dicular to the lens centre of the projector, or
when installation surface is slightly slanted.
When the screen is in a higher position than
the projector, the projection image can be made
higher by adjusting the projector.
1Press the HEIGHT ADJUST button.
•The front adjustment foot comes out.
2Lift the projector to adjust its
height while pressing the HEIGHT
ADJUST button.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 12 degrees (5 steps).
•When lowering the projector, it may be
difficult to move the front adjustment foot
because the installation surface is difficult
to slide. In this case, pull the projector back
slightly and adjust its height.
3Remove your hands from the
HEIGHT ADJUST button of the
projector after its height has been
finely adjusted.
4Use the rear adjustment foot to
make the projector level.
•The projector is adjustable ±1 degree from
the standard position.
Note
•When the height of the image is being adjusted
by the adjustment feet, the image becomes dis-
torted trapezoidally. In this case, see “Correct-
ing Trapezoidal Distortion” on page 29 to cor-
rect the trapezoidal distortion.
Info
•Do not press the HEIGHT ADJUST button
when the front adjustment foot comes out
without firmly holding the projector.
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering
the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful not to
get your fingers caught in the area between
the adjustment foot and the projector.

Image Projection
In addition to the zoom function and adjustment of projection angle using the adjustment foot, it is possible
to move the lens up and down and left and right (360
°) to adjust the projection position simply by moving
the lens shift lever on the front of the projector. This is a useful function in cases such as when the screen
cannot be moved.
