Technical Point

What is the menu display?

The menus of this projector include the two types of 

Simple Menu

 and 

Advanced Menu

Simple Menu

 includes a collection of frequently used functions. Included are On/Off switch-

ing of 

Auto Keystone

 and 

Auto Focus

Projection Mode

 and other items. On the contrary, 

the 

Advanced Menu

age and 

Set Password

, etc. 

See “Using the Menu” for details. See Page E-46.

What is Keystone Distortion? 

Keystone distortion is distortion of the projected image that occurs when the projector is tilted 

vertically or horizontally with respect to the screen. 

There are two types of keystone distortion, in the horizontal direction when the projector is 

slanted to the left or right, and in the vertical direction when the projector is tilted up or down. 

This projector can manually or automatically correct the distortion in the vertical direction. 

See “Auto Keystone”, and “Keystone” for details. See Pages E-53 and 54.

BLANK button 

This button temporarily blanks the video 

and mutes the audio.
