Adjusting the Image Shape

In most cases, you can maintain a rectangular image by placing the projector directly in front of the center of the screen with the base of the lens level with the bottom of the screen.

Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 40° up or down), the projector’s automatic keystone correction function detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.

It takes about one second after projection starts for the image to be corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone correction gauge appears on the screen.

If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using either of these methods:

Using Keystone Correction

To adjust your image when it is wider on one side, do one of the following:

❏Look at the shapes of the icons on the

projector’s four Keystone buttons. Press the button whose icon is the opposite shape of your screen image. Continue pressing the button until you are satisfied with the shape of the image.

Note: The image will be slightly shorter after adjusting. If it’s important to maintain the correct aspect ratio, use the menu system to perform keystone correction, as described below, then adjust the Height setting as needed.

❏If the image has two parallel sides but is wider on the top, bottom, left, or right, you can correct it using the Keystone keys on the projector’s control panel or the Keystone menu (see “Using Keystone Correction” below).

❏If the image is trapezoid- shaped (no two sides are parallel), you can adjust its shape using Quick Corner™ as described below.
