Adjusting the Color Convergence (Panel Alignment)

You can use the Panel Alignment feature to manually adjust the color convergence (the alignment of the red and blue colors) in the projected image.

Note: You can adjust only the red or blue color convergence. Green is the standard color panel and cannot be adjusted.

Note: Allow your projector to warm up for at least 10 to 15 minutes and make sure the image is in focus before you use the Panel Alignment feature.

Note: For best results, project an image sized at least 60 inches (152 cm) diagonally in a dark room and on a projection surface that is not colored or textured.

Note: You can adjust the pixels up to ±3 pixels in 0.125 pixel increments.

Note: Image quality may decline after you perform Panel Alignment.
