Keystone Adjustments What is Keystoning? “Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square. Digital Keystone Adjustments By adding a special, selectable, algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens.
Page 40
If the image looks trapezoidal with the top larger (as pictured right), press the top button on the direc- tional pad on the top of the P450 until the keystone effect corrects and the picture turns into a square projection.
Be sure to setup the computer to enable a video signal output. On some laptops this is done by pressing and holding Function F5 key. If using the P450 as an external monitor on Windows based systems, this can be done by selecting “extend my desktop to this monitor”. The native resolution of the P450 projector is 1280x800.
Technical Details Troubleshooting THE PROJECTOR DOES NOT TURN ON Possible Causes Solution There is no power Check to ensure the power outlet source is good. Check the power adapter to ensure a proper connection with the wall outlet as well as the projector.
