Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on
the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also
use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

HDMI port, you can use the projector's remote control to control certain features of the linked device by
pressing the HDMI Link button on the remote control and setting HDMI Link to On.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, make sure the Audio Out
Device setting in the Extended menu is set correctly.

with the projector.
Note: If you change the video source or you are not within range of your projector, the glasses enter
standby mode and the status light flashes green. Slide the power switch on the glasses to the Off
position and then back to the On position to resume 3D viewing.
Note: Make sure you are within 32 ft (10 m) of the projector when using the 3D glasses or you may
lose your connection.
