Adjusting the Image Shape

You can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the
projector directly in front of the screen and keeping it level.
This also produces the best picture quality. If the projector is
tilted up or placed at an angle, you'll need to correct the image
shape by using one of the functions described below.
Automatic Image Adjustment
Use the projector's Quick Setup feature to set up quickly for a
presentation. This function automatically corrects the shape
and position of the image to fit on a screen with a 4:3 aspect
ratio. It can correct image distortion when the projector is
placed up to a 45° angle to the screen (vertically) and 20°
(horizontally).
1. Press the
Quick Setup
panel.

2. Aim the projector so the message appears near the middle of
the screen. Then use the zoom ring to enlarge the image so
the white frame (not shown above) extends beyond the
edges of the screen on all sides.
3. Press the
Quick Setup
momentarily onto the screen, and the adjustment is
complete. Your projected image now fits on the screen
(some slight overlap is normal).
The Quick Setup adjustment is retained when the projector is
turned off. If the projector is installed in a fixed location, you
won't need to repeat the adjustment each time you turn it on.
