Correcting Computer Images

If you’ve connected a
computer and the image
doesn’t look right or fit
properly on the screen, press
the

Auto

button on the

remote control (or the

Auto/Enter

button on the

projector’s control panel).

This automatically resets the projector’s tracking, sync,
resolution, and position settings.

Note: You must be projecting an image for this button to have
any effect. The

Auto

button works only with computer images.

Also, make sure the correct

Computer

or

BNC Input

option—

such as

Analog RGB

—has been selected in the Setting menu.

Alternatively, you can cycle through the input settings using
the corresponding source button (

Comp

,

BNC

) on the remote

control until you see your device.

If vertical stripes appear in the projected image and the

Auto

button doesn’t correct the problem, hold down the

Shift

button on the projector’s control panel while pressing either
the

Tracking +

or the

Tracking –

button.

If the image appears fuzzy or flickers and the

Auto

button

doesn’t correct the problem, hold down the

Shift

button while

pressing either the

Sync +

or

Sync –

button.

Note: Also make sure you have selected the correct Computer or
BNC Input option in the Setting menu for your computer. See the
User’s Guide for more information.

Projecting Images Without a Screen

Even if you don’t have a screen, you can project images onto
surfaces like blackboards and colored walls without loss of
image color. Your projector has a sensor that measures the
conditions of the projection surface and automatically adjusts
the colors and shading of your image. For example, if you’re
projecting onto a surface near a window, your image appears
clear and well-defined rather than faint.

Making Initial Color Corrections

Press the

Wall Shot

button on

either the remote control or the
projector’s control panel while
projecting an image.

Wall Shot’s status appears in
the upper right corner of your
screen. Then you see a sequence
of colors flash for approximately
five seconds while the sensor
measures the conditions of the
projection surface and adjusts
the image.

Note: If the status message indicates that Wall Shot is off, press the

Wall Shot

button again to turn it on.

When you turn off the projector, it stores the correction values
obtained by the last Wall Shot measurements. This is useful if
you’re projecting against the same surface and under the same
conditions. To retrieve these corrections, just press the

Wall

Shot

button again while projecting an image.

Adjusting Color Corrections for a New
Surface

Follow these steps to adjust the correction values if you’re
projecting on a new surface or in a new location:

1. Press the

Wall Shot

button on the remote control or

projector while you’re projecting an image. Wait for the
Wall Shot status screen.

2. Press the

Wall Shot

button until you see

Wall Shot

Readjustment

on the status screen.

You see a sequence of colors flash for about five seconds as
the projector adjusts the color correction values for the new
projection surface.
