Replacing the remote control batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.
Attention
Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries. s Safety Instructions
a
Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.
18
Caution
Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the product.
b
Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installing the Projector

21

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.
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.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
An optional ceiling mount and attachment plate are required when
a
suspending the projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.121
The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.
s Extended - Projection p.84
You can change the Projection mode as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

Installation methods
Install the projector as follows.
Installing the Projector
22
Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen. If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image.
Place the projector on a level surface. If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.
See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the
a
screen. s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.37
See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.
s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.42 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.37

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the projection distance.

Connecting Equipment

This section gives examples of how to connect the projector and the projection source.
The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected.

Connecting a Computer

To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.
When using the supplied computer cable
A
Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the computer to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.
When using the supplied USB cable
B
Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's USB (TypeB) port using the supplied USB cable. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.
When using a commercially available HDMI cable
C
Connect the computer's HDMI port to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.
24
a
Simply by connecting the projector to a computer via a USB cable, you can project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. s "Projecting with USB Display" p.31
Connecting Equipment

Connecting Image Sources

To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.
When using a commercially available video cable
A
Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the video equipment to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.
When using the optional component video cable
B
s "Optional Accessories" p.121
Connect the component output port on the image source to the projector's Computer input port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the video equipment to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.
When using a commercially available HDMI cable
C
Connect the HDMI port on the image source to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the image source's audio with the projected image.

Attention
If the input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could cause a malfunction.
If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction.
If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector.
a
When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".
Connecting Equipment

Connecting USB Devices

You can connect devices such as USB memory, the optional Document Camera, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras.
Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB (TypeA) port on the projector.
26
When the USB device is connected, you can project files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow.
s
"Slideshow examples" p.53
Attention
If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly.
When connecting and using a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.
Connect a digital camera or hard disk to the projector using a USB cable supplied with or specified for use with the device.
Use a USB cable less than 3 m in length. If the cable exceeds 3 m, Slideshow may not function correctly.
Removing USB devices
After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector.
