Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range
The projection distance refers to the distance between the front of the lens and the projected 
surface.
The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from 
the center of the projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0% when the point (A) in 
the illustration (point where a line drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image 
cross at right angles) is aligned with the center of the projected image and full width or full 
height of the projected image is regarded as 100%.

+:  Vertical lens shift range (up) [%]
VS –:  Vertical lens shift range (down) [%]
HS +:  Horizontal lens shift range (right) [%]

							50Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range
About lens position
The projection distance and lens shift range are measured with the lens position adjusted to the 
center. To adjust the lens position to the center, follow the procedures below:
1Rotate the left lens shift dial left or right 
then align the screws with the v V marks 
in four places, as illustrated, for adjusting 
the lens horizontally.
2Rotate the right lens shift dial clockwise 
until the lens is fixed, to adjust the lens 
vertically.
Before adjusting the lens position to the center 
and checking whether the lens position is 
centered, turn off the power to prevent 
projected light from entering the eyes.
