INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR

Adjusting the Projection Angle

The projection angle can be adjusted with the adjustable foot.

Before making this adjustment, connect the computer and AV equipment and project an image on the screen.

1Lift the front of the projector and

push the adjusting foot lock.

The adjustable foot extends with the spring force.

2 Adjust the projection angle while pushing the adjustable foot lock, and then release the lock.

With the adjustable foot, the projection angle can be adjusted up to 10 degrees. Adjust the longitudinal tilt of the projector to +/-20 degrees or less. If the tilt is more than 20 degrees above and below, a lamp problem can result.

If Keystone Distortion is Large

Extending the adjustable foot too far causes keystone distortion (the projected picture is trapezoidal). If the distortion is large, adjust the height of the pedestal of the projector.

The keystone distortion can be corrected using the KEYSTONE button. (P31)
