Adjusting the height of the feet
You can adjust the height and tilt of the unit using the three
feet at the bottom of the unit, and prevent backlash of the
unit using the two feet.
Tips
• The feet for adjusting the tilt can be adjusted by 1.5 mm with every
full turn.
• The left and right feet near the rear side can be used to prevent the
backlash. You can adjust these feet to the same height as the feet
for adjusting the tilt.
• Be careful not to get your finger caught when turning the feet for
adjusting the tilt or feet for preventing backlash.
• You can adjust the foot height up to 20 mm. If the foot height is
more than 30 mm, the foot may come off and the unit may drop
causing an injury.

Connecting the Unit

When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor picture quality. When
pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.
• Use a High Speed or Premium High Speed HDMI cable on which the cable type logo is specified. With a standard HDMI cable, images of
1080p, DeepColor, 3D video and 4K video may not be displayed properly.
• When you want to display a picture in a more detailed HDMI format, use the “Premium High Speed” type.
• When connecting an HDMI cable to the unit, make sure the Vmark on the upper part of the HDMI input of the unit and the vmark on the
connector of the cable are faced at each other.
• If the picture from equipment connected to the unit with an HDMI cable is not correct, check the settings of the connected equipment.
• If you use a notebook computer and set the computer to output the signal to both the computer’s display and an external monitor, the picture
may not appear on the unit properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor. For settings of the computer, consult
with the manufacturer of the computer.
