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 the possible installation locations:

ENGLISH

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. 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 > Image Flip H/V menu after you turn the projector on.

3. 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 qualified projector ceiling mount kit are required for this installation location.

Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Image Flip H/V menu after you turn the projector on.

4. Front Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.

Purchase a qualified projector ceiling mount kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.

Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Image Flip H/V menu after you turn the projector on.

For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount kit to be available for this projector. Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer.

• The warranty on this projector does not cover any damage caused by use of any non-recommended ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.

• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, images may appear darker than those projected in the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product malfunction.

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.

16:10 is the native aspect ratio of LX-MU500/LX-MW500. To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 90% of the projector's native aspect height.

4:3 aspect image in a 16:10 aspect display area 16:9 aspect image scaled to a 16:10 aspect

display area

Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 10% of the height of a 16:10 aspect image displayed by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 5% height respectively) of the 16:10 projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 16:10 projection display area.

Install the projector on a flat surface such as a table with the lens parallel to 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).

You can see from the diagram on page projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector.

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.

When fine streaks are seen on projected images

This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a mal-function. Replace the screen or displace the focus a little.

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.

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 distance from the Image size

column. 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

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

"Image size". That is the

"Vertical offset (Hd)" value.

ENGLISH

LX-MU500: If your measured projection distance was 2.5 m and your screen aspect ratio is 16:10, the closest match in the "Distance from the screen: L" column is 2.2 m to 3.5 m. Looking across this row shows that a 70 to 100-inch screen is required.
