If you’re using Mac OS X:
You may need to set up your system to display on the projector
screen as well as the LCD screen. Follow these steps:

Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you may need to make certain
adjustments, as described in this section.
Adjusting the Height of the Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front
adjustable foot to raise it.
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up
and lift the front of the projector.
2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the
lever to lock the foot in position.
3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image
by turning any of the projector’s adjustable feet.
Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,”
but you can correct the shape as described in the next section.
Focusing and Zooming the Image
To sharpen the image, turn the focus ring on the projector. To
reduce or enlarge the image, turn the zoom ring on the
projector.
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the
E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion
of the image. See page 8 for instructions.
Adjusting the Image Shape
You can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the
projector directly in front of the screen and keeping it level.
This also produces the best picture quality. If the projector is
tilted up or placed at an angle, you’ll need to correct the image
shape by using one of the functions described below.
Automatic Image Adjustment
Use the projector’s Quick Setup feature to set up quickly for a
presentation. This function automatically corrects the shape
and position of the image to fit on a screen with a 4:3 aspect
ratio. It can correct image distortion when the projector is
placed up to a 45° angle to the screen (vertically) and 20°
(horizontally).
1. Press the
Quick Setup button on the projector’s control
panel.
