English - 14 Screen Requirements This Projector is used to project the image onto flat screens. However, the brightness and viewable range will vary depending on which type of screen is used. When selecting a screen, check the characteristics of the screen to ensure that it is suitable for the intended place of use. Screen characteristics (reference) Screen type Screen characteristics White screen Reflective screens White screen This type of screen can be seen from anywhere, so there are no limits on the viewing position. However, the surrounding walls should be darkened as in a movie theater, otherwise a clear picture cannot be obtained. This type of screen gives a picture which is 2-4 times brighter than a white screen. A variety of types are available from different manufacturers, and each type has different brightness characteristics. Some also have restrictions on the possible range of viewing positions. Silver screen Silver screen Maximum brightness * Care should be taken with screens that have a high gain, as these types of screen can cause color distortion at the left and right edges. * This type of screen is recommended when the Projector is suspended from the ceiling. Beaded screen This type of screen is similar to the silver screen, except that no color distortion occurs at the left and right edges. Moreover, most of the light is reflected at the same angle as the angle of incidence. Translucent screens * This type of screen is recommended when the Projector is placed on the floor. Beaded screen Brightness decline Maximum brightness Flexible translucent screen This type of screen is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It has the same characteristics as silver screens, but sometimes it can have hot spots. Rigid-type translucent screen This type of screen is made of acrylic plastic. It is extremely durable and has excellent optical characteristics. It performs in the same way as silver screens. Note • A Polarized screen can not be use for this LCD Projector, because its polarizing effect will add to the polarization already designed into the Projector (to increase its efficiency). The resulting image will not appear in its true color. English - 15 Standard Setting-up Positions The screen should be positioned so that it is not directly touched by sunlight or room light as this will wash out the colors of the picture making it hard to see. When possible, close all blinds, curtains, etc. and dim the lights. Also, the LCD Projector should be at a 90° angle to the screen for the best picture results. To determine the distance for the desired size, please refer to the LCD Projector/Screen Relationship Chart below. (By using the tele zoom feature, you can increase the throw distance.) When installed using the ETPK057 ceiling mount bracket (sold separately). Unit : inch (mm) • Your LCD Projector is equipped with an image reverse feature. (See page 14.)

Keystoned Image English - 16 Setting the Projector up horizontally If the Projector is not set up so that it is horizontal, it will not be possible to obtain a distortion-free picture. If placing the Projector on top of a table or similar surface, carry out the following procedure below to ensure that no distortion of the picture occurs. • Adjustment procedure 1 Lift the front of the Projector until the Projector as a whole is horizontal. While holding it in this position, press the adjuster buttons under the sides of the Projector (1 each at left and right). When the buttons are pressed, the left and right adjustable legs will drop down until they reach the setting-up surface. Note • Do not release the buttons until both legs have reached the setting-up surface. Adjuster button 2 Release the adjuster buttons. (The adjustable legs Adjustable legs Adjuster button will lock as soon as the buttons are released.) 3 Turn the adjustable legs by hand in either direction to make fine adjustments to the level of the Projector so that the Projector is perfectl horizontal. Note • The legs can be extended by up to 52 mm. If you try to extend them any further than this, they will merely spin freely. 52 mm Retracting the adjustable legs After lifting the front of the Projector slightly, press and hold the adjuster buttons and then gently lower the Projector. Note • Be sure to support the Projector firmly while pressing the adjuster buttons. If the adjuster buttons are pressed without supporting the Projector, the adjustable legs will suddenly unlock and the Projector will fall down, which could catch your fingers and damage the Projector. Adjuster button Adjustable legs Adjuster button Caution: When you set up the LCD Projector • Do not place it in humid or dusty places, or places where the air is sooty or full of cigarette smoke. If the lens, mirror, or other optical components become dirty, the picture will blur or darken, making viewing difficult. • Do not expose to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 5°C – 40°C (41°F – 104°F) English - 17 Adjusting the Lens If the LCD Projector is not set up so that it is horizontal, it will not be possible to obtain a distortion-free picture. Turn the adjusters in either direction to make fine adjustments to the level of the Projector so that the Projector is perfectly horizontal. ZOOM Ring FOCUS Ring • Adjustment procedure 1 Turn the ZOOM Ring to adjust the size of the picture. • For a larger picture, turn the ring to the right. For a smaller picture, turn the ring to the left. 2 Turn the FOCUS Ring to adjust the focus of the picture. • Turn the ring to the right or left until the picture is at the optimum focus. 3 Turn the ZOOM Ring again to adjust the size of the picture. • When you turn the FOCUS Ring, the size of the picture changes. English - 18 Setting-up Positions and Changing the Projection Mode The projection mode used by the Projector can be changed in accordance with the setting-up position. Including ceiling mounting, you may select from four direction types.
