Projection Operations Projection Operations This section explains operations that are related to projection of an image. Projecting onto a Screen Basic Flow Set up the projector and point it at the screen. User’s Guide (Basic Operations): Setting Up the Projector Connect the computer or video device to the projector.
Projection Operations Auto Input Source Selection When you turn on the projector, it checks the status of each input source (whether or not the input source is sending a signal) in the sequence shown below. It automatically selects the first input source it finds that is sending an input signal, and projects the applicable image.
Projection Operations Manually Selecting the Input Source The procedure you should use to select the input source depends on whether you are using projector keys or remote controller keys. [Projector] [Remote Controller] [RGB] key [VIDEO] key ZOOM FOCUS RGB VIDEO AUTO P-IN-P D-ZOOM S-VIDEO VOLUME MUTE FREEZE [S-VIDEO] key [INPUT] key z To select the input source using projector keys, press the [INPUT] key on the projector to cycle through input sources in the sequence shown below.
Projection Operations Zoom and Focus Use the [ZOOM] keys to adjust the image size, and the [FOCUS] keys to focus the image. To adjust image size 1. Hold down the [ZOOM +] key to increase the size of the image or the [ZOOM –] key to decrease it. z This causes the zoom indicator, which indicates the current zoom setting, to appear on the image. 2. Release the [ZOOM] key when the image is the size you want.
Projection Operations Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by pressing the [AUTO] key. z You can turn off auto adjustment (page 46) when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain manual settings.
Projection Operations z The angles shown in the above illustration are subject to the following conditions. z Projection of an image from a computer (Resolution: 1024 × 768; Vertical Frequency: 60Hz) z Resize Image To Fit: On z Actual correction ranges are affected by the type of signal being projected, zoom, the “Resize Image To Fit” setting, the aspect ratio setting, and other factors.
Projection Operations 2. Adjust the angle and position of the projector as required so the projected chart fits within the screen area. 3. Press the [AF/AK] key again. z This performs auto keystone correction. Auto Adjustment at Power On While [Continuous AF/AK] is selected for “Option Settings2 J Power On AF/AK Mode” (page 60) on the setup menu, turning on the projector automatically enters the pre-focus mode and projects the alignment chart.
Projection Operations 3. Use the [W] and [X] keys to correct for keystoning. z Each press of [W] or [X] shifts the indicator on the currently selected bar left or right. z Repeat steps 2 and 3 to perform keystone correction for the other direction, if you want. 4. After the settings are the way you want, press the [ESC] key or the [KEYSTONE] key. z This causes the keystone correction screen to disappear. Auto Focus (AF) At times, the projector may not focus properly when you press the [AF/AK] key.
Projection Operations Auto Keystone Correction Certain operational environments and other factors can make it impossible to achieve sufficient accuracy when performing keystone correction. If an image appears distorted after performing auto keystone correction check the sensors for dirt and clean them if necessary. See page 70 for more information. If this does not solve the problem, try changing the position of the projector slightly or perform manual keystone correction.
Projection Operations z The [COLOR MODE] key is disabled while the projector is connected to a computer over a USB connection (page 67). To select the color mode in this case, use “Image Adjustment J Color Mode” (page 32). Adjusting the Volume Level (VOL +/–) You can use the remote controller keys to adjust the volume level of the audio that is output from the projector’s speaker. To adjust the volume level 1. On the remote controller, press the [VOL +] or [VOL –] key.
Projection Operations Enlarging the Projected Image (D-ZOOM +/–) You can use the remote controller’s zoom keys to enlarge a specific part of the projected image up to four times its original size. To enlarge part of the projected image 1. On the remote controller, press the [D-ZOOM +] or [D-ZOOM –] key. z This causes a cross cursor ( ) to appear on the projected image. 2.
Projection Operations Using Picture-in-Picture (P-IN-P) While RGB is selected as the input source, you can display a sub-window that simultaneously displays the image being input through the VIDEO or S-VIDEO terminal. This function is called “picture-in-picture” or “P-IN-P”. RGB input image VIDEO (or S-VIDEO) input image z The initial default setting for the sub-window input source is VIDEO. Use the setup menu when you want to change the sub-window input source to S-VIDEO.
Projection Operations To display the sub-window 1. On the remote controller, press the [RGB] key to select RGB as the input source. z You can also select the input source using the projector’s [INPUT] key. 2. On the remote controller, press the [P-IN-P] key to display the subwindow. z This causes the sub-window, containing the image input through the VIDEO or S-VIDEO terminal, to appear on the projected image.
Projection Operations To change the size of the sub-window While a sub-window is displayed, use the [D-ZOOM +] and [D-ZOOM –] keys to select one of the three available sub-window sizes (small, medium, large). [D-ZOOM +] key Large Medium Small [D-ZOOM –] key z When RGB is selected as the input source, certain signal types (1600 × 1200 UXGA signal, for example) do not support selection of the large sub-window size.
Projection Operations Displaying the Pointer Use the procedures in this section to display the pointer and to select its shape (arrow, bar). You can use the pointer to point to a specific location of the projected image during a presentation. z The pointer cannot be displayed while the projector is connected to a computer over a USB connection (page 75). z The pointer can be displayed regardless of the input source. z You can also select the pointer shape using “Option Settings2 J Pointer” (page 61).
Projection Operations Selecting the Pointer Shape Each press of the [POINTER/SELECT] key while the pointer is displayed cycles through the pointer shapes in the sequence shown below. To clear the pointer from the image Press the [ESC] key. Operating the Computer with the Remote Controller (Wireless Mouse) You can use the remote controller as a wireless mouse to perform mouse operations on the computer that is connected to the projector.
Projection Operations To operate the computer with the remote controller 1. Use the mini D-Sub cable and USB cable that come with the projector to connect the computer to the projector. After that, turn on the projector and the computer. z See the following for more information. ) Connecting a Computer to the Projector (User’s Guide (Basic Operation)) ) Connecting a Computer to the Projector’s USB Port (page 67) 2. On the remote controller, press the [RGB] key to select RGB as the input source.

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and allow the projector to cool down for about 60 minutes.
Appendix z Continued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents can cause overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction. z Certain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the projector’s other intake and exhaust vents (on the sides, etc.). If this happens, use the same procedure as that described above to clean the side vents.
Appendix 2. Keeping the left nub (3) in the left depression (1), gently press the lens cover towards the right as you insert the nub (4) of the right lens cover tab into the depression (2) of the right tab under the lens. z Do not apply undue force to the lens cover when performing the above step. Pressing too strongly can damage the tabs of the lens cover. Projector Troubleshooting Check the following items whenever you experience any problem with the projector.
Appendix Problem Cause and Recommended Action See The connected computer or video device may not be turned on, or it may not be outputting a video signal. J Make sure the connected computer or video device is turned on, and perform the required operation on it to output a video signal. — The correct output source is not selected on the projector. J On the projector, select the input source that corresponds to the device whose image you are trying to project.
