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. Yo u ca n p urc ha se a B en Q pr oj ec to r 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.

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 on a table 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 upside-

down 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 on a table

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 upside-

down 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.

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.

16:9 is the native aspect ratio. W1000+ can project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) image.

English

4:3 aspect image in a 16:9

aspect display area

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).

The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the screen).

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 17, 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 directly proportional to the projection distance.

BenQ has provided a table of screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. Refer to "W1000+ projection dimensions" on page 17 depending on the projector you are using. 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 projector 15

English

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

1. Select your screen size.

2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns

labelled "16:9 screen". 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 in 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 a 120-inch screen, the average projection distance is 4646 mm and with a vertical offset of 448 mm.

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 30 for details.

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 and find the closest match to your measurement in the average

distance from screen column labelled "Average". If the min and max values are available on the table, 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

diagonal 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 in mm" value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to

the horizontal plane of the projector.

For example, if your measured projection distance was 4.0 m (4000mm), the closest match in the "Average" column is 3872 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 100-inch screen is required.

There is 5% 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 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 installa tion location.

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.

2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.

3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see

"Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.

Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

Additionally, you can also connect the projector to a computer via the USB cable so you can perform paging operations of the application on the PC or notebook.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:

•With a VGA cable: •With a HDMI cable:

1. Take a VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output jack of the computer. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the PC signal input jack on the projector.

2. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speakers in your presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output jack of the computer, and the other end to the AUDIO jack of the projector. Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See

"Audio Settings" on page 50 for details.

The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output jacks:

•HDMI

• Component Video

•S-Video

•Video (composite) You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above

connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped with a HDMI jack, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.

See "Connecting HDMI source devices" on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI source device and other details.

If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, they should be your connection method of choice in preference to S-Video or (composite) Video.

See "Connecting Component Video source devices" on page 21 for how to connect the projector to a Component Video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See "Connecting S-Video source devices" on page 22 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video or Video device.

Connecting Audio

The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speakers.

Connecting HDMI source devices

The projector provides a HDMI input jack that allows you to connect it to a 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.
