Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.
Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)
Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐ ing projection)
Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion)
Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)
Warning
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
An optional ceiling mount and attachment plate are required when

Screen Fit corrects the projected image when it detects two or more sides inside the projected area, and aligns with the detected frame. For example, when projecting onto a wide screen in a small room, you can make corrections by fitting the top and bottom sides of the screen into the projected area.
Screen Fit may not work well in dark environments, such as a room with lights turned off. In this case, make the room brighter, and then try executing Screen Fit again.
Because Screen Fit uses a sensor, it may not work properly depending on the condition of the projection surface (deflections, patterns, and so on) or the effects of outside light. In this case, make the adjustments manually.
