Setting Up the Projector

Projector Placement
Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount).
You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide provided with your mounting hardware to install the
projector.
• 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.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode
setting to On in the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is
regulated properly.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
• If installing vertically on a table, a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA Mounting
Interface Standard (100 x 100 mm) is required.
• If installing on a wall, the wall mount (V12HA06A05) is required.
• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector
squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.
• Try not to set up the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to
smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Projector Setup and Installation Options
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
Mounted on the wall or ceiling
Mounted on the wall or ceiling and projecting from behind a translucent screen
28
Front projection from a table or portable cart
Rear projection from a table or portable cart behind a translucent screen
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an
angle.
If you place the projector vertically, turn on the Vertical Installation setting in the projector's Installation
menu.
If you install the projector to a fixed location, turn on the Fixed Installation setting in the projector's
Installation menu.
If you project from a table or portable cart, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the
projector's menu system.

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).
1 Projection distance
2 Distance from the top of the projector to the top of the image (when projecting from a wall or table
mount) or base of the image (when projecting from a flat surface)
