or two between the Attachment Plate and the Lens Bracket to accomplish this
symmetry if the Lens Bracket is not completely square with the screen.
6. Adjust the projector zoom to fill the width of the screen, slightly overlapping the left
and right screen border so that no gaps exist. Adjust the projector vertical lens shift
one last time to center the image vertically. You may need to make both adjustments
together to remove any remaining gaps between the image and the screen. If later a
movie is played and a slight gap is noticed between the movie and screen at the top
and bottom then simply zoom up the image a bit more to fill the gap. This can occur
especially if the screen has an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 instead of 2.4:1. If necessary,
adjust the Lens height one more time to ensure that the entire projector beam
passes through the Lens.
7. If using the XM2 Attachment Plate, loosen the Thumb Knobs one last time and
move the Lens Bracket toward the projector to minimize the distance between the
Lens and projector lens. This distance is not critical but minimization somewhat
helps to minimize dust accumulation and stray light.
If using the XMU or XMU-S Attachment Plate, slightly loosen the RPA000 thumb
nuts just enough so that the Attachment Plate can be slid back to minimize the
distance between the Lens and projector lens. If using the Automated Transport then
make sure the Lens can move horizontally without interference. Perform a final
check to make sure the image adjustments have not changed then retighten the
RPA000 thumb nuts and thumb nuts (or M6 screws if using the Automated
Transport).
ELECTRONIC CONVERGE CORRECTION SET UP (PHOENIX)
The Phoenix Lens can create color fringing which increases toward the right and left
edges of the image when a projection system has a relatively small ratio of throw
distance to screen width. If noticeable, this color fringing can be corrected by the
Electronic Convergence Correction (ECC) feature currently available in Sony, Epson
and JVC projectors, taking approximately 5 to 30 minutes to set up depending on the
projector model and level of desired correction. Note that these adjustments are
performed only once during lens setup and can be turned off and then back on to your
settings through the projector menu.
ECC set up involves projecting a test grid of lines then individually adjusting the blue
and red line image in all screen areas so they are each aligned with the green lines.
Although ECC is required only in the horizontal direction for the Phoenix Lens, you may
wish to remove any visible vertical color fringing due to misalignments in the projector
itself at this time. Here are some brief notes to access the menu options for ECC:
