8Installing the Unit / Adjusting the Projection Image
This section describes how to install the unit, how to connect the equipment from which you
want to project a picture, etc.
Installing the Unit
The installation distance between the unit
and a projection surface varies depending on
the projection size and whether or not you
use the zoom features. Install this unit so that
it fits the desired projection size.
For details on the distance between the unit
and the projection surface (the projection
distance) and the size of projected video, see
“Installation Distance and Projection Image
Size” (page 57).
1Position the unit so that the unit is
parallel to the projection surface.
Top view
2Project an image on the projection
surface and adjust the picture so that it
fits the projection surface (page 8).
• When using a projection surface with an
uneven surface, stripes may rarely appear on
the projection surface depending on the
distance between the projection surface and
the unit or the zooming magnifications. This
is not a malfunction of the unit.
• The projection picture may be distorted if the
projection surface is not flat.
Adjusting the
Projection Image
Project an image on the projection surface
and then adjust the projection image.
Tips
• The ?/1(ON/STANDBY), INPUT, MENU,
and M/m/</,/ (joystick) buttons on
the front panel of the unit function the same
as those on the remote control. The LENS
button functions in the same way as the
PATTERN buttons of the remote control.
