• The result of keystone adjustment is memorized. If the projector installation position is the same as before, keystone adjustment is not required.

When Keystone Adjustment is selected, signals are processed digitally. The image may look different from the original one.

Keystone can be adjusted vertically and horizontally within the range of +/-20 degrees. The amount of adjustment varies depending on the combination of the amount of optical zooming, input signal type, and adjustment direction (vertical or horizontal).

If the keystone distortion is too large to adjust, move the projector installation position.
