User’s Guide Adjusting the Screen Image You can correct and adjust the screen images in order to obtain the best possible pictures. Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom Function) The size of the projected images is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. p.16 The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen images once the projector itself has been set up. 42 Focusing the Screen Images (Focus Adjustment) PROCEDURE Turn the focus ring to adjust the image focus.
User’s Guide 43 Adjusting the Screen Image Adjusting the Image Angle If the projector is set up so that it is at a horizontal or vertical angle to the screen, adjust as follows. Tilting the projector vertically with respect to the screen If the images are being projected onto a screen that is higher than the position of the projector, extend the front adjustable foot to tilt the projector. p.
User’s Guide 44 Adjusting the Screen Image Adjusting the Feets The front adjustable foot and the rear adjustable feet can be extended and retracted to adjust the tilt of the projector to a maximum of 12º upward and 4º downward. TIP If you use the front adjustable foot and the rear adjustable feet to adjust the tilt of the projector, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the projected images.
User’s Guide 45 Adjusting the Screen Image Manually Correcting Keystone Distortion This projector is equipped with an automatic keystone correction function that detects the vertical angle of the projector during projection and automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. If you would like to make further fine adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, or if the projector is tilted horizontally, you can carry out keystone correction manually.
User’s Guide 46 Adjusting the Screen Image TIP • The "Auto Keystone", "H/V-Keystone" and "Quick Corner" functions cannot both be used together to correct keystone distortion. If you use one function to correct keystone distortion, any correction that has been applied using the other function will be cancelled. • The larger the angle of tilt, the poorer the focus of the contours in the projected images will become.
User’s Guide 47 Adjusting the Screen Image Vertical correction and horizontal correction Vertical correction and horizontal correction can be carried out using either the projector's control panel or the configuration menus. This procedure explains how to use the projector's control panel to correct keystone distortion. For adjustment using the configuration menus: - "Setting" - "Keystone" "H/V-Keystone" p.
User’s Guide 48 Adjusting the Screen Image Height Correction When Automatic keystone correction and horizontal correction is carried out, the height of the projected images will become shorter. Use the height correction function to adjust the height of the projection area. The height correction function is accessible from the configuration menu. This cannot be set when vertical correction is carried out.
User’s Guide 49 Adjusting the Screen Image Correcting Keystone Distortion so that the Projection Area Fits the Screen Exactly (Quick Corner) Quick Corner correction can be carried out using either the projector's control panel or the configuration menus. This procedure explains how to use the projector's control panel to correct keystone distortion. If using the configuration menu: "Setting" - "Keystone" - "Quick Corner" p.
User’s Guide 50 Adjusting the Screen Image 3 Press the [ ], [ ], [ ] and [ ] buttons on the remote control to correct the angle position. You can also tilt the [ ] button on the remote control to correct the angle position.
User’s Guide Adjusting the Image Quality The quality of the projected images can be adjusted as follows. Projecting Easy-to-see Images Without a Screen (Wall Shot) When the Wall Shot function is used, images can be projected without loss of original colour even onto surfaces such as blackboards and coloured wall surfaces which are being used instead of a screen. For example, if projecting onto a green blackboard, the projected images would normally appear greenish and be very difficult to see.
User’s Guide 52 Adjusting the Image Quality 2 To change the status, press the [Wall Shot] button while the status is being displayed on the screen. For example, if you press the [Wall Shot] button while "Wall Shot OFF" is displayed, the status will change to "Wall Shot ON" and measurement of the projection surface will start. Colours in the order red → green → blue → black will be projected for approximately five seconds while measurement is in progress.
User’s Guide 53 Adjusting the Image Quality Adjusting Computer Images Automatic Setup Automatic setup detects analogue RGB signals coming from a connected computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum images can be obtained. Automatic setup involves adjustment of the following three items: Trackingg, Position and Syncg. TIP • If "Auto Setup" in the "Advanced2" menu is set to "OFF" (the default setting for this command is "ON"), automatic setup is not carried out.
User’s Guide 54 Adjusting the Image Quality l Adjusting the Tracking If vertical stripes appear in the projected images, and this cannot be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to adjust the trackingg manually using the following procedure.

User’s Guide 55 Adjusting the Image Quality Adjusting the Sync If flickering, fuzziness or interference appear in images that are input from the computer, and this cannot be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to adjust the syncg manually using the following procedure. While holding down the [Shift] button on the projector's control panel, press the [ ] button. The sync value decreases each time the button is pressed.
User’s Guide 56 Adjusting the Image Quality Selecting the Projection Quality (Colour Mode Selection) The following five preset colour modes are available for use depending on the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will vary depending on which colour mode is selected.
User’s Guide Adjusting the Volume You can adjust the volume for the sound from the projector's built-in speaker or from the external speakers that are connected to the projector. PROCEDURE The volume can be adjusted using either the remote control, the projector's control panel or the configuration menus.
