BProjecting/Adjusting an Image
Projecting an Image
The size of a projected image depends on the distance between the projector and screen. Install
the projector so that the projected image fits the screen size. For details on projection distances
and projected image sizes, see “Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range” (page 53).

Adjusting the tilt of the projector
with the rear feet (adjustable)
When the projector is installed on an uneven
surface, you can adjust using the rear feet
(adjustable). To correct any trapezoidal
distortion of the projected image, use the
Keystone correction feature (pages 16, 32).
You can also broaden the adjustment range
by removing the nuts from the rear feet
(adjustable).
• Be careful not to let the projector down on
your fingers.
• Do not push hard on the top of the projector
with the rear feet (adjustable) extended. It
may cause a malfunction.
• Keystone adjustment is an electronic
correction. Consequently the image quality
may deteriorate.
Displaying a pattern for adjusting
an image
You can display a pattern for adjusting the
projected image with the PATTERN key on
the Remote Commander. Press the
PATTERN key again to restore the previous
image.
Correcting for trapezoidal
distortion of the projected image
(Keystone adjustment)

from an oblique angle, perform keystone
adjustment.
If the projected image is
trapezoidally-distorted in the vertical
plane
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the
Remote Commander once or select “V
Keystone” in the Installation menu to
display the adjustment menu.
2Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.
The higher the setting, the narrower the
top of the projected image. The lower
the setting, the narrower the bottom of
the projected image.
Press the RESET key to restore the
projected image before adjustment.
If the projected image is
trapezoidally-distorted in the lateral
plane
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the
Remote Commander twice, or select
“H Keystone” in the Installation menu
to display the adjustment menu.
2Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.
The higher the setting, the narrower the
right side of the projected image. The
lower the setting, the narrower the left
side of the projected image.

overlapping of images is least
noticeable.
• The procedure shown above is for general
guidance. Your own installation may vary
according to the situation.

matching function (page 34) to adjust for
differences in color and brightness.
Note that more detailed adjustment for Edge
Blending is possible using a PC application.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.
• When multiple projectors are set up in a line,
the temperature inside the projectors may
increase due to exhaust vent proximity, and
an error indication may result.
In this case, space the projectors farther apart
and/or install deflection partitioning between
them.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.
