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.)

Projector Connections
You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.
•For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, streaming devices, digital cameras, smartphones, and tablets with compatible video output ports.
Note: To connect a smartphone or tablet, you may need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector. This allows you to mirror your smartphone or tablet screens, watch movies, and more. Contact your device manufacturer for compatible adapter options.
•Connect any type of computer (Windows or Mac) that has a standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.
Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable. The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
1.Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2.Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.
You can also select the Fast Image Processing setting to reduce lag time.
Note: When an audio/video source that meets the HDMI CEC standard is connected to the projector's 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 and setting HDMI Link to On.

Note: Some connected devices may not charge when using an MHL adapter.
1.Connect the MHL cable or adapter to your device's Micro-USB port.
2.If you are using an MHL adapter, connect it to an MHL-compatible HDMI cable.
3.Connect the other end of the cable to the WirelessHD Transmitter's HDMI 5 / MHL (IN) port.

Connecting to a Component Video Source
If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using an optional component video cable. Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter cable along with a component video cable.
1.Connect the component connectors to your video source's color-coded component video output ports, usually labeled Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. If you are using an adapter, connect these connectors to your component video cable.

2. Connect the other end to the projector's color-coded Component video input ports.
If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's Signal menu.
Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.
You can also select the Fast Image Processing setting to reduce lag time.
