How to adjust the lens How to adjust the focus, zoom and shift If the focusing, zooming or positioning of the image projected on the screen is not successful, even though the projector is properly positioned against the screen, you can adjust the focus, the zoom, or the vertical or horizontal position of the image.
Adjustment range after lens position (optical shift) Do not move the lens beyond the bounds of the shift range as this may cause a change in the focus. This limitation is to protect the parts of the projector. Using the standard projection position as the reference, the optical axis shift function makes it possible to adjust the projection position in the ranges shown in the figures below.

How to adjust the lens (continued) How to adjust the lens mounter for addressing unevenness of focusing About the focus balance Relation between the orientation of the lens and focus surface on the screen side If the projection lens is tilted in relation to the surface on which the images are formed, and the front (screen side) of the projection lens points downward (direction of broken arrow line) as shown in the example in the figure 1, the focus surface on the screen side is tilted so that its top is at the back of the screen and its bottom is in front of the screen.
Page 41
If the lens is heavy or the projector is installed so that it is tilted, the lens may be tilted, resulting in the focus becoming unbalanced. In such a case, refer to the figure 4 and table below, and follow the procedure below to perform adjustment. Adjustment procedure 1 Switch to the focus adjustment mode with the remote control, and use the ▼...
