Scope of this Guide The subject of this guide is to describe the procedure for adjusting the image projected from the WT600 to the desired screen size. Descrip- tions of screens and stands for use with the WT600 are also provided. Please see the user's manual for information regarding the detailed operation of the WT600 (hereafter referred to as "the unit" or "the pro- jector").E-1 WARNING

• Do not set up the projector, the screen or stand in a place that is not level or in an unstable location. Doing so may result in the screen falling over or the projector falling which may result in injury.

• When setting up the projector on the stand, first secure the top plate in a level condi- tion. When the top plate is set at an angle, the projector may fall resulting in injury.

• Use a stand that can fully support the weight of the projector (which for this unit is approximately 13lbs/5.9 kg). Failing to do so may result in the projector falling and causing injury.E-2 40"-100" 90˚ Screens Suited for the WT600

• Screens with a soiled, scratched, or discolored area will not produce a clean image. Care should be used in the handling of the screen. Recommended Not recommended Recommended Not recommended Recommended Not recommended Not recommended Not optimal Not recommended Not recommended

• Use a panel or tension type screen that has a flat surface. Do not use roll type screens and other screens that bend or form a wavy surface easily. Doing so will result in increased distortion of the projected image.

• The unit can accommdate screen sizes from 40” (81.3 cm/32.0” W ⳯ 61.0 cm/24.0” H) to 100 inch (203.2 cm/80.0” W ⳯ 152.4 cm/60.0” H).

• View the screen directly from the side so that it is perfectly vertical. A slanted screen will result in increased keystone distortion.

• In using this unit, increasing the screen size will move the projection position upward. To accommodate this, please use a screen that has higher and lower positioning adjustment. See Page 4 for information about the positioning rela- tionships between the screen and this unit.

• High gain type screens are not optimal for use with this unit. The lower the screen gain (i.e., screen gain on the order of 1), the better the appearance of the projected image. For more information about screen gain, consult catalogs from screen mak- ers.

• Screen frames or pen shelves that protrude from the front of the screen sur- face may block some of the light from the projector.

• Due to the projection angle of the unit, many standard rear projection screens may produce uneven brightness, hot spotting or not produce maximum bright- ness to the viewer. For more details utilizing rear projection screens and their applications with this projector, please contact your NEC dealer.

• Controlled ambient light environments will allow for an image of higher con- trast and depth to be displayed. Level Stands Suited for the WT600

• Use a stand that will allow this unit to be set up in a level condition. Turn the foot of this unit and adjust so that the unit is level. Recommended Recommended

• In using this unit, increasing the screen size will move the projection position upward. To accommodate this, please use a stand that has a height position- ing adjustment. See Page E-4 for information about the positioning relation- ships between the screen and this unit.E-3 Ambient environmental condition

• Do not place the screen near vents. Air blow hits the screen, causing the projected image to ripple.

• Repeat step 4 to 6 if the display image is not aligned with the screen.E-9 NOTE:

• In terms of the optical characteristics of this projector, in addition to keystone distortion (page E-11), there may be occurrences of slight pincushion type or barrel type distortion. To adjust the projected image with the screen, first perform Steps 1 to 6 pages E-7 to E-9 (Adjustment of the projection distance → Height adjustment of the projected image → Fo- cus adjustment), then align the 4 corners of the projected image with the 4 corners of the screen. Following this, if the pincushion type or the barrel type distortion is conspicuous, please perform "7. Adjusting Pincushion or Barrel Distortion (Pincushion)" on the next page.

• If the keystone distortion is not improved after pressing the FOCUS buttons and adjusting the focus, or the aspect ratio does not agree, check the screen or projector are not on a tilt. [Symptom1] In the case of keystone distortion (as illustrated), either the screen is directed slightly upward or the projector is directed slightly upward. [Action] Tilt the top end of the screen to the front or rotate the front feet of the projector to correct keystone distortion.

The [Pincushion] screen will appear. If pincushion or barrel distortion become conspicuous, adjust with [Pincushion]. Reference

• Pincushion or barrel distortion in this projector The amount of pincushion and barrel distortion in this projector is 2% or less (TV distortion) in each of the horizontal and vertical directions (for screen sizes of 40 inches to 100 inches). As an example, the amount of distortion with a screen size of 60 inches (121.9 cm/48.0” W x

91.4 cm/36.0” H) is within approximately 12 mm/0.47” in the horizontal direction and within

approximately 9 mm/0.35” in the vertical direction. When this projector is used with a 60-inch screen size, the amount of pincushion and barrel distortion become a minimum. When the amount of pincushion or barrel distortion exceed 2% (TV distortion), please check whether the projector and screen setup conditions are suitable.
