Blurry image with Sanyo Z5...HELP :(

From what ive read the Sanyo should give a pretty sharp picture. But no matter what i try the text in the Sanyo menu is out of focus. Same for windows on my PC and i notice it on my PS3 and 360.

I have a 86" screen. Projector is about 9ft away and is on a shelf behind me pretty much central to the screen.

I set the iris all the way to -63 and thsi helped a little but it feels like it needs to focus just a little more.

Any ideas?

Having owned a Z3 I wasn't sure if any advanced features had changed, but I did think of manual focus.. just didn't want to write it, for fear of being named a smartass or worse.... guess I wouldn't have

shame on you

But good it's working properly now
