Introduction10
Ceiling mounting the projector
We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property. If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed. If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws. You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

the battery to prevent damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.
Introduction14

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:
1. Front Table
Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.
2. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended upside­down from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.
3. Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.
4. Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended upside­down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required for this installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.
Positioning your projector 15

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in the projected image size.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).
If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects at a slightly downward angle.
You can see from the diagram on page 18, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image.
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are proportional to the projection distance.
BenQ has provided a table of screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).
Positioning your projector16

How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size

1. Select your screen size.
2. Refer to the table on page 18 and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "Screen size". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled
"Average". This is the projection distance.
3. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical
offset (mm)" value. This will determine the final vertical offset placement of the
projector in relation to the edge of the screen.
4. The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.
For example, if you are using the MX514/MS513 and a 120-inch screen, the average projection distance is 5040 mm and with a vertical offset of 274 mm. if you are using the MW516 and a 120-inch screen, the average projection distance is 3894 mm and with a vertical offset of 251 mm.

How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance

This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.
The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.
1. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance.
2. Refer to the table on page 18 and find the closest match to your measurement in the average distance from screen column labelled "Average". Check that your measured distance is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average distance value.
3. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding "Screen
size" listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that
projection distance.
4. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical
offset (mm)" value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation
to the horizontal plane of the projector.
For example, if you are using the MX514/MS513 and measured projection distance was 5.0 m (5000 mm), the closest match in the "Average" column is 5040 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 120-inch screen is required. If you are using the MW516 and your measured projection distance is 5.0 m (5000 mm), the closest match in the column is 3894 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 120-inch screen is required.
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting
keystone" on page 28 on page for details.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connecting an HDMI source device

The projector provides a HDMI input jack that allows you to connect it to an HDMI source device like a DVD player, a DTV tuner or a display.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience.
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused HDMI output jacks available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to an HDMI source device:
1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output jack of the HDMI source device. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI signal input jack on the projector. Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On­Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 56 for details..
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI jack on the projector.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector's
HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See "Changing Color Space" on page 33 for details.
