PT-AX1000U Projector: unable to fit the image on 16:9 screen

[rma123]

Hi: I have a 105" diagnol screen and the projector is 13' from the screen. The image size on the screen is about 6" extra on the sides and 4" extra top/bottom (16:9). I can't seem to adjust the size. Anybody know why I can't get to fit the image on the screen. According to the manual the trow distance for this size screen, throw distance is 10' to 17' . Wondering if anyone out there have had similar experiences.

Thanks
Ray

You've been adjusting the optical zoom ring to zoom in/out correct?

You also double checked that the distance from the LENS to the screen is 13'?

I can't speak for this model. But on my Sanyo, the lens zoom (as well as the focus) must be turned manually. I tried for hours to adjust the picture size with the remote before I finally jumped up on a table and took care of it.

Pretty much every projector under five grand has manual zoom/focus and IF it has lens shift, it is often manual. $5,000+ often adds motorized functions - of course there are exceptions.
