Using the Projector  
The projector is capable of correcting for keystone (trapezoidal)  
distortion caused when the projector is tilted upward or  
downward from its normal horizontal position. This feature  
corrects keystoning by making the width of the top and bottom  
of the screen the same. Access this feature using the Image  
Control selection of the on-screen display (OSD) menu. Refer  
to Chapter 3, “Using the On-Screen Display Menu” for more  
information. The keystone effect can be corrected when the  
projector is tilted upward up to 30 degrees or downward up to  
40 degrees.

The projector zoom feature is capable of increasing the image  
size up to 20%. To increase the image size, turn the projector  
zoom ring toward the left 1. To decrease the image size, turn the
