It's been a long time since I logged in!

I just couldn't give up my PG6 clone hanging idle on the garage ceiling and just recently fired it up again.
Still works like a champ at about 3400 hours and I'm hoping to start watching it again.

Problem is I've had to move my 120" wide screen back to the garage door and now my throw distance has increased to 16ft and I've run out of focus adjustment on the lenses. It gets close at max but a need a little more.

I've tried various positions on the focus rings after the suggested settings didn't work and none of them get it.

I don't understand what's happening, the manual shows a 268" throw distance for a 192" screen so I would think it would focus at 16ft?

What am I missing?

Sounds like you're too far back. YOu can put in spacers/shims if you want, but that might compromise corner focus. One of the PG lens sets, HD144 or 145 does have a limited focusing range from what I remember.
