Correcting keystone

The keystone effect refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at the top / bottom. It occurs when the projector is not 
perpendicular to the screen. To correct the keystone effect press the keystone button   on the remote control and then follow the on-screen 
instructions to make the adjustments. 

When you are done making the adjustments, press   to save your changes and return to the previous menu.
