SETTING UP YOUR PROJECTOR

Setting up the screen

Set the screen perpendicular to the projector. If the screen can not be set perpendicularly, adjust the

projection angle of the projector. (See below.)

•

Adjust the screen or projector so that the shadow of the projector lens may be projected onto the center of the

screen.

•

Place the screen where it is projected from direct sunlight and other lights. Direct light onto the screen could

whiten the screen surface making the projected picture images hard to see.

Basic setup

Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the picture images to be

projected. (See Page 16.)

Adjusting the projection angle

If a part of the projected picture image lies off the

edge of the screen, adjust the projection height or

the projection angle as follows:

1. Lift up the projector up to the desired projection

angle.

•

Set the projector within a tilt angle of 15 degrees.

2. Press up the left and right angle adjusting buttons.

3. Getting place the projector down at the angle you

adjusted.

4. By turning the angle adjusting foot (front) to the

left or right, make fine adjustment so that the pro-

jected image frame may be in parallel with the

sides of the screen.

When storing the projector:

5. Slowly set the projector down by pressing the left

and right angle-adjusting buttons.

•

It is also possible to adjust the projection angle by turn-

ing the angle adjusting foot (rear) to the left or right.

If the projected image frame is distorted

to a trapezoid:

If the screen and the projector are not set perpen-

dicular to each other, the projected image frame be-

comes trapezoidal. If it is not possible to bring them

into positions perpendicular to each other by any

mechanical adjustments, adjust the value for KEY-

STONE in the INSTALLATION menu. (See Page 28.)

•

If the "KEYSTONE" is applied, the aspect ratio may

not be adjusted correctly in some cases.

•

If the "KEYSTONE" is applied, the resolution of

the projected image will be reduced. Also, moire

fringes on fine-pattern images or drooping of

straight lines in the images will appear. Therefore,

try to set the screen and the projector perpendicu-

lar to each other as much as possible.

•

When changing the "KEYSTONE" setting, the im-

age may distort or disappear in a moment. How-

ever, this is not a malfunction.
