    Projecting an Image
    The size of a projected image depends on the distance between the projector and screen. Install 
    the projector so that the projected image fits the screen size. For details on projection distances 
    and projected image sizes, see 
    “Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range” (page 45).
    1Plug the AC power cord into the wall 
    outlet.
    2Connect all equipment to the projector 
    (page 7).
    3Press ?/1 to turn on the unit.
    4Turn on the connected equipment.
    5Select the input source.
    Each time you press the INPUT key on 
    the projector, the input signal switches. 
    Press the INPUT key repeatedly to select 
    an image to be projected.
    6To project an image from a computer, 
    set your computer to output to external 
    display.
    How to switch the computer to output to 
    the projector varies, depending on the 
    type of computer.

    Adjusting the tilt of the projector by  lens shift
    You can adjust the position of the projected 
    image by turning the screws for lens shift
    (V shift screw and H shift screw).
    1Lift up the lower end of the lens shift cover 
    with your finger to remove it.
    2Insert a Philips  screwdriver to the 1H 
    shift screw inside the unit and turn it to 
    adjust right or left, and to the 2V shift 
    screw to adjust up or down. Be careful not 
    to look into the lens.
    Continued turning of these screws will 
    return the lens shift to its original position. 
    Adjust the screws to set the lens shift to the 
    optimum position. For details on the 
    adjustment range, see the “Lens shift 
    range” (page 48).

    Adjusting the tilt of the projector with the adjusters
    You can adjust the height of the projector 
    pushing the side button on this unit.
    By changing the slope of the projector with 
    adjusters, you can adjust the position of the 
    projected image.
    How to alter the angle
    1Push in the adjuster button at the side of 
    the unit.
    2Keeping the button pushed in, raise the 
    main unit to the desired angle.
    3Release the adjuster button.
    4For fine positioning, turn the right and left 
    adjusters beneath the unit.
     Be careful not to let the projector down on your fingers.
     Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster extended. It may cause malfunction.
    Changing the aspect ratio of the projected image
    Press ASPECT on the remote commander to change the aspect ratio of the projected image. 
    You can also change the setting in Aspect of the INPUT SETTING menu (pages 21, 22).
    Correcting trapezoidal distortion of the projected image (Keystone feature) 
    When the projected image is a trapezoid, tapering to the top or bottom
    Keystone feature may not work automatically when the screen is tilted. In this case, set 
    keystone manually.
    1Press KEYSTONE on the remote 
    commander once or select V Keystone in 
    the INSTALL SETTING menu. 
    2Use V/v/B/b to set the value. The higher 
    the setting, narrower the top of the 
    projected image. The lower the setting, the 
    narrower the bottom.

    1Press KEYSTONE on the remote 
    commander  twice or select H Keystone in 
    the INSTALL SETTING menu.2Use V/v/B/b to set the value. The higher 
    the setting, the narrower the right part of 
    the projected image. The lower the setting, 
    the narrower the left part.
     Since the Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction, the image may be deteriorated.
     Depending on the position adjusted with the lens shift feature, the aspect ratio of the image may 
    change from the original or projected image may be distorted with Keystone adjustment.
    Correcting the image twist  (Warp correction feature) 
    You can correct the image twist by the warp correction feature
    1Select “Warping” in the INSTALL 
    SETTING menu, and select “Adjust.”
    2The guide is displayed.
