Adjusting the Image Shape
The projector automatically corrects images that are distorted
when the projector is tilted up or down (up to a 15° tilt). The

squarely.
❏ If your image looks like or , the Auto Keystone
feature may have been disabled or you may need to manually
adjust the keystone correction value. (Auto Keystone is not
available when you’re using ceiling or rear projection.)
Follow the directions below:
❏ To turn on Auto Keystone, press the
Menu button on
the remote control. Select the Setting menu, then press
Enter. If Auto Keystone is OFF, press to highlight
this option and press
Enter. Select ON in the Auto
Keystone window that appears and press
Enter to save
your changes. Exit the menu by pressing the

correction, your image will be slightly smaller.

Adjusting the Brightness
The brightness of an image depends on the source you are
projecting and the amount of light in the room. If the image is
too bright or not bright enough, do one of the following:
❏ Change the
Brightness setting in the Image menu.
❏ Select
Low or High for the Brightness Control option in
the Advanced menu. Low brightness mode extends the life of
the lamp and decreases the fan noise.
Adjusting the Color Mode
You may want to adjust the color mode to select a different
setting that is appropriate for the image you’re projecting and
the environment in which you’re projecting it.
If you’re projecting computer or RGB video images, the default
color mode is
Presentation, which is appropriate for
presentations in bright rooms. For other images, the default

natural colors.
