Adjusting the projected picture Adjusting the projection angle The projector is equipped with one quick-release adjuster foot and one rear adjuster foot. Lift the projector up and press the adjuster button to release the adjuster. The adjuster will drop into position and be locked. Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. 24 Screw the rear adjuster foot to fine tune the horizontal angle. Operation To retract the foot, hold up the projector while pressing the quick-release button, then slowly lower the projector. Screw the rear adjuster foot in a reverse direction. If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected picture becomes vertically trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of Keystone in the Picture menu, on the projector control panel, or on the remote control. See "Correcting keystone" on page 25 for details. Correcting keystone Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected picture is noticeably wider at either the top or bottom. To correct this, besides adjusting the height of the projector, you will need to manually correct it following ONE of these steps. · Press / on the projector or remote control to display the status bar labelled Keystone, then press to correct keystoning at the top of the picture or press to correct keystoning at the bottom of the picture. Go to the Right on the · Pro-Picture > Keystone menu and adjust the values by pressing Left/ projector or remote control until you are satisfied with the shape.

Within 3 seconds, the built-in Intelligent Auto Adjustment function will re-adjust the values of Frequency and Clock to provide the best picture quality. The current source information will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen for 3 seconds. The screen will be blank while AUTO is functioning. Operation 25 Fine-tuning the picture clarity If needed, sharpen the picture by rotating the focus ring. If you are still not satisfied with the picture clarity, see "Sharpness" on page 35 to make further adjustment. Selecting the aspect ratio The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the picture width to the picture height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio. With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the picture output to a different aspect than that of the picture input source. You can change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect the source is) by entering the Pro-Picture > Aspect Ratio menu. Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements. There are three aspect ratios available: In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. 1. 2. 3. Native: The picture is projected at its original resolution, with no pixel conversion. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected picture will display smaller than if resized to full screen. [. . . ] The lens cap is still attached to the lens.
