a projection angle.
• The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation
conditions.
• When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight
lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions.

narrower than in the case when they are performed separately.
