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. You can adjust the pixels horizontally and
vertically in increments of eighths within a range of ± 3 pixels.
Image quality may decline after performing Panel Alignment.
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. For best results, project an image sized at least 80
inches (203 cm) diagonally in a dark room and on a projection
surface that is not colored or textured.
