Follow these steps: 1. From the Apple® menu, select System Preferences, then click Displays. 2. Select VGA Display or Color LCD, click Arrange or Arrangement, and make sure Mirror Displays is checked. Adjusting the Image Once you see your image, you may need to make certain adjustments, as described in this section. Adjusting the Height of the Image If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable foot to raise it. 1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up and lift the front of the projector. Focusing and Zooming the Image To sharpen the image, turn the focus ring on the projector. To reduce or enlarge the image, turn the zoom ring on the projector. Focus Zoom If the image still isn't large enough, you may need to move the projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. See page 8 for instructions. Adjusting the Image Shape You can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the projector directly in front of the screen and keeping it level. This also produces the best picture quality. If the projector is tilted up or placed at an angle, you'll need to correct the image shape by using one of the functions described below. Automatic Image Adjustment Use the projector's Quick Setup feature to set up quickly for a presentation. This function automatically corrects the shape and position of the image to fit on a screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It can correct image distortion when the projector is placed up to a 45° angle to the screen (vertically) and 20° (horizontally). 1. Press the Quick Setup button on the projector's control panel. 2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever to lock the foot in position. 3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image by turning any of the projector's adjustable feet. You see a projected message: Raising the projector causes the image to distort or "keystone," but you can correct the shape as described in the next section. 3/08 PowerLite 1810p/1815p - 5
