negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and sliding it back down into position. Stop when it clicks
into place.
• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment like the
kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local environment
regulations for your region.
• Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.
Remote control effective range
The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR
remote control sensor(s) to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the
sensor(s) should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor(s) on the projector
that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
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 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.
Overview
7
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.

Overview
Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations.
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.
1. Front:
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
from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit
from your dealer to mount your projector on the
ceiling.
*Set Front Ceiling after you turn the projector
on.
3. Rear:
Select this location with the projector placed near
the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is
required.
*Set Rear after you turn the projector on.
4. Rear Ceiling:
Select this location with the projector suspended
from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the
BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit are required for
this installation location.
*Set Rear Ceiling after you turn the projector
on.
*To set the projector position:
1. Press MENU/EXIT on the projector or remote control and then press / until the System Setup : Basic menu is
highlighted.
2. Press / to highlight Projector Position and press / until the correct position is selected.
Positioning your projector
13
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, 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 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.
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 positions 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.
How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size
1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?
2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "Screen
dimensions". 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. Decide the exact position of your projector according to the position of your screen and the
adjustable lens shift range.
<Example>
W750: If you are using a 120-inch, 4:3-aspect-ratio screen, please refer to "The screen aspect ratio is 4:3
and the projected picture is 16:9". The average projection distance is 3512 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. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?
2. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the
projection distance.
3. Refer to the table 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.
4. 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.
<Example>
W750: If you have a 16:9-aspect-ratio screen and your measured projection distance was 4500 mm,
please refer to "The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the projected picture is 16:9". The closest match in
the "Average" column is 4464 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 140-inch screen is required.
Checking the min. and max. projection distance values in the columns of "Projection distance <D> [mm]"
on page 15 indicates that the 4500 mm measured projection distance will also fit the 130 and 150-inch
size screens. The projector can be adjusted (using the zoom control) to display on these different screen
sizes at the projection distance. Be aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values.
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 picture distortion" on page 27 for details.

Connecting with video equipment
HDMI cable
HDMI device: DVD player, digital tuner, etc.
To make sure you select a correct input source
type for the HDMI signal, see "HDMI Settings" on
page 45 for details.
You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, Blu-ray player,
digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera. You can also connect it to a
desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh system. You need only connect the projector to a source
device using just one of the 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:

Preparations
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
2. Use only the correct type cables for each source with proper type plugs.
3. Ensure that all cable plugs are firmly fitted to the equipment jacks.
Note that all cables shown in the following connection diagrams may not be supplied with the projector (See
"Shipping contents" on page 6 for details). Most cables are commercially available from electronics stores.
Connecting HDMI devices
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between
compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players, Blu-ray players and displays over a single cable. It
provides pure digital viewing and listening experience. You should use an HDMI cable when making
connection between the projector and HDMI devices.
