Agreago GC357 Auto Focus Video Projector User Manual

• Automatic: The projector automatically performs Focus or Keystone Correction when turned on. No manual operation.

About the Focus Function

1. By default, every time the projector is turned on or moved, it will automatically focus and adjust the picture to be clear. (You can turn off “Auto Focus” or “Auto Focus Once Powered On” in Projection Image Settings.)
2. When you think that the automatic focus cannot make the image clear enough, you can use the focus button(F+&F-) on the remote to perform manual electronic focus to make the image reach your satisfaction.

About the Keystone Correction
6D Automatic Keystone Correction
This projector defaults to automatic keystone correction in the vertical direction. When the projection screen moves in the vertical direction, the screen in the vertical direction will be automatically adjusted to a rectangle.
You can turn on automatic keystone correction for the horizontal orientation in Projection Image Settings. When this setting is turned on, the projector will also automatically adjust the picture to a rectangle in the horizontal direction.

4P Manual Keystone Correction

4P manual keystone correction refers to selecting the four comer points of the projection screen one by one through the remote and then performing screen corrections. The following is the setting path for 4-point keystone correction:
Step1. Go to Settings>Projection Image Settings>Four Point Keystone Step2. Press the “OK” button on the remote to select the point that needs to be adjusted, and press the arrow button” ” to adjust. (Press the Menu button ” ” to restore the Keystone Correction to the default state. )

Tips: Based on optical principles, the best picture can be obtained when the projection direction of the projector is facing the screen.

In order to get the best image, please keep the projector straight across from the screen.
