If further correction adjustment is required after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, use the [Keystone] buttons on the projector's control panel to make the adjustment.
Adjusting the Image Quality The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows. Adjusting Computer Images Automatic Setup Automatic setup detects the status of the signals coming from the connected computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum images can be obtained. It involves adjustment of the following three items: optimum images can be obtained. It involves adjustment of the following three items: Tracking , Position and Sync .
36 Adjusting the Image Quality Adjusting the Tracking 2 If vertical stripes appear in the projected images, and this cannot be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to adjust the tracking manually using the following procedure. Press the [ ] and [ ] buttons to set the tracking value to a value that causes the vertical stripes to disappear from the image. The tracking value increases or decreases each time a button is pressed.

Maintenance This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts. Cleaning 74 Cleaning the Lens Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens. CAUTION You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate. Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
75 Maintenance Replacing Consumables 2 This section describes how to replace the remote control battery, the lamp and the air filter. Remove the old battery and insert the new battery. Check the position of the (+) mark inside the battery holder to ensure that the battery is inserted the correct way. New battery Inserting the Battery Use the following type of battery as a replacement.
76 Maintenance Lamp Replacement Period It is time to replace the lamp when: • The message "Lamp Replace." appears on the screen for 30 seconds when projection starts . A message will be displayed. • When the intervals (Warning) indicator is flashing red at 0.5-second Flashes red at 0.5-second intervals • The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
77 Maintenance Replacing the Lamp 1 CAUTION Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. It takes a further one hour after the cool-down period has finished for the lamp to be cool enough. 2 PROCEDURE 1 Turn off the projector power, wait for the cool-down period to end, and then disconnect the power cable. The cool-down period lasts for about 20 seconds. 2 Wait until the lamp has cooled down, and then remove the lamp cover from the base of the projector.
78 Maintenance 4 Take out the lamp. Hold the lamp as shown in the illustration below and lift it up and out of the projector. If the lamp is broken replace by a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advise. If replacing the lamp yourself, be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass. 6 Install the lamp cover.
79 Maintenance Resetting the Lamp Operating Time The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating time. When the cumulative operating time reaches a certain point, it causes the replacement warning message to be displayed. Therefore, the counter needs to be reset after the lamp has been replaced with a new one. You can do this using the configuration menu.
