Use only BenQ's Ceiling Mount Kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is securely installed.

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.

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 upsidedown from the ceiling in front of the screen.

Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit from

ur dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.

Positioning your projector 15

English

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. W700/W710ST can project a complete 16:9 (widescreen)

ge.

ima

The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned

ectly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This

dir 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

ilm projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward

f 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

t 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.

hen 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

eases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.

incr

When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for

oth the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly

b proportional to the projection distance.

BenQ has provided a table of screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for

our projector. Refer to "W700/W710ST projection dimensions" on page 18. There are two

y dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen

rojection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge

(p 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 and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns

belled "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 ho

rizontal 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 W700 average projection distance is 4325 mm and with a vertical offset of 269 mm. the W710ST average projection distance is 2004 mm and with a vertical offset of 269 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 33 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

creen. This is the projection distance.

2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average di

stance 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 di

stances 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 d

iagonal 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,

W700: if your measured projection distance was 3.5 m (3500 mm), the closest match

in t

he "Average" column is 3604 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 

100-inch screen is required.

W710ST: if your measured projection distance was 1.5 m (1500 mm), the closest

tch in the "Average" column is 1670 mm. Looking across this row show

ma 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.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/ off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting Video source devices

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

•HDMI

•Component Video

•S-Video

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

nnecting 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 socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.

See "Connecting HDMI source devices" on page 22 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

nfused with composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players output Component

co 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 23 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 h ave b oth c omp o site Video and S - Video outp ut t ermi nals on your Vid e o sou rce 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 24 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.
