SETTING UP
Setting up screen
Set the screen perpendicular to the projector. If the screen can not be set perpendicularly, adjust the
projection angle of the projector. (See below.)
Adjust the screen or projector so that the shadow of the projector lens may be projected onto the center of the
screen.
Do not place the screen where the direct sunlight and illuminating lights come onto the screen. Direct light
illumination onto the screen could whiten the screen surface making the projected picture images bad to see.
Basic setup
Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the picture images to be
projected. (See Page 14 and 15.)

As for the locations for the setup, read "Be sure to observe the followings for safety" described on Pages 4 to 7
in advance.
Adjusting projection angle
If a part of the projected picture image lies off the
edge of the screen, adjust the projection height or
the projection angle as follows:
1. Lift up the projector up to the desired projection
angle by hands.
Set the projector within a tilt angle of 15 degrees.
2. Press up the left and right angle adjusting buttons.
3. Release the hands from the angle adjusting but-
tons and projector.
5. Slowly lift down the projector by pressing the left
and right angle-adjusting buttons while holding the
projector by hands.
It is also possible to adjust the projection angle by turn-
ing the angle adjusting foot (rear) to the lift or right.
If the projected image frame is distorted
to a trapezoid:
If the screen and the projector are not set perpen-
dicular to each other, the projected image frame be-
comes trapezoidal.If it is not possible to bring them
into positions perpendicular to each other by any
mechanical adjustments, adjust the value for trapezoi-
dal correction in the setup menu. (See Page 19.)
If the "trapezoidal correction" is applied, the as-
pect ratio may not be adjusted correctly in some
cases.
If the "trapezoidal correction" is applied, the reso-
lution of the projected image will be reduced. Also,
moire fringes on fine-pattern images or drooping
of straight lines in the images will appear. There-
fore, try to set the screen and the projector per-
pendicular to each other as much as possible.

4. By turning the angle adjusting foot (front) to the
left or right, make fine adjustment so that the pro-
jected image frame may be in parallel with the
sides of the screen.
