You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by pressing the [AUTO] key. You can turn off auto adjustment when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain manual settings. The projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in progress. If an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to adjust items manually. Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE) When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may have different length top and bottom edges. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image. Keystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original (uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close to the configuration shown under "Setting Up the Projector" on page 7. The center of the projector's lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen (page 7). Automatic Keystone Correction When "On" is selected for the "Option Settings 1 Auto Keystone Correction" setting of the Setup Menu, the projector will detect the vertical orientation of the object in the image and adjust its shape automatically so it appears as a rectangle. The message "Auto Keystone Corrected. " appears in the lower left corner of the projected image when the projector performs auto keystone correction. The projector's auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction to correct the image. Auto keystone correction is performed by detecting the elevation angle of the projector. This means that the surface you are projecting onto needs to be standing straight up. If the surface you are projecting onto is not straight, use manual keystone correction to correct the image. To use manual keystone correction 1. 3. Press the [KEYSTONE +] or [KEYSTONE ­] key. This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image. Use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE ­] keys to correct for keystoning. Correction can be performed for keystoning within ±30°. To close the setup screen, press the [ESC] key. 14 Using the Setup Menu Pressing the [MENU] key while an image is being projected displays the setup menu on the projected image. The setup menu can be used to configure a variety of different projector settings. Use the cursor keys to select and configure settings, and the [ENTER] key to register them. Using the Setup Menu The menu items that can be set (or displayed) depend on the current input source. In the following table, the "Input Source" columns indicate whether each item appears ( ) or not ( ) for each input source (R = RGB, C = Component, V = Video, ­ = No input signal). A triangle ( ) indicates that the item can be set (or displayed), subject to certain conditions.
