Introduction 11
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 or wall, we strongly recommend
that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit or wall mount kit and
that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.
If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the
projector may fall from the ceiling or wall due to an improper attachment through
the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount or wall 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 mounting bracket. This will
perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the
mounting bracket become loose.

Introduction 15
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 Installation 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 Installation 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 Installation menu after you turn the projector on.
You can also use QUICK INSTALL key on the remote
control to select projector’s location.
Positioning your projector16
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).

For example, If you are using the MX768 and a 200-inch screen, the projection distance is
7417 mm and with a vertical offset of 457 mm.
If you are using the MX768 and your measured projection distance is 5.5 m (5500 mm), the
closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)" column is 5563 mm. Looking across this
row shows that a 150'' (about 3810 mm) screen is required.

For example, If you are using the MW769 and a 200-inch screen, the projection distance is
7797 mm and with a vertical offset of 337 mm.
If you are using the MW769 and your measured projection distance is 5.8 m (5800 mm),
the closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)" column is 5848 mm. Looking across
this row shows that a 150'' (about 3810 mm) screen is required.
All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes. 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.
