CAUTIONS and NOTES
' Install the screen so the lower edge of the projected picture aligns with the extended center line of the projector’s lens.
That way, the lower edge of the picture projected on a 4 : 3 aspect ratio screen aligns with the extended center line of the
lens. Also, the screen must be at right angles with the extended center line of the lens (so that projection occurs at right
angles with the screen).
' When installing the screen, use a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture.
(A 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4: 3 aspect ratio picture is projected.)
' The diagonal length of a 16 ; 9 aspect ratio picture is about 91.8% that of a 4; 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is a guide
and should be used as a reference.
■ When projecting at the maximum projection distance (20 m/65.6 ft), we recommend that the projector be used with the
zoom on the Tele (T).
’ If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a
curtain, etc. to shield the light.
> Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected.
Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +7°; horizontal adjustment angle:
±1.5°) so that it is set up level.
•The numeric values listed in the table of Relationship between Projection Distances and Screen Sizes on page 17 are
provided only as a guide or reference. The projection sizes may vary within manufacturing tolerances of the projection
lens.
• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture.

Effective Range and Distance of the Remote Control Unit
The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 10 m (32.8 ft) for direct reception. The remote control can be used by
having it reflected on the screen, etc. When you use the remote control by reflecting it at the screen, the total distance of A + B
should be about 10 m (32.8 ft) or less. The operable angles of the remote control unit is 50° right to left, and 15° up and down.
The effective range and distance of the remote control unit
Use the projector with A+B about 10 m (32.8 ft) or less.
Depending on the type of the screen used, the effective distance of the remote control may be reduced.
