These functions correct and adjust the projected images so that optimum images can be obtained.

Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom Function)

The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. sp.16

The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the projector itself has been set up.

TIP

The E-Zoom function lets you enlarge parts of the image. sp.48

PROCEDURE

Adjust by turning the zoom ring.

The maximum zoom ratio of the EMP-821 is × 1.6, and that of the EMP-81/61 is × 1.2.

Turn to "T" (tele) to reduce the images.

Turn to "W" (wide) to enlarge the images.

Zoom ring

If you would like to enlarge the image further, move the projector further away from the screen. sp.16

Focusing the Screen Image

PROCEDURE

TIP

•If the surface of the lens is dirty or misted over as a result of condensation, it may not be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If this happens, clean or de-mist the lens. sp.77, p.84

•If the distance from the lens to the screen is not within the recommended distance, it is impossible to bring the lens into focus.

If you have trouble obtaining the correct focus, check the projection distance. sp.16
