Preparing the Projector

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

Installing the Projector

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/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)

• 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 is required when suspending the

projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.118

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

FrontWFront/Ceiling Set Rear or Rear/Ceiling from the Configuration menu. s Extended - Projection p.81

Installation methods

Install the projector as follows.

Installing the Projector

• 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

screen. s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36

• See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

Correcting Keystone Distortion

You can correct keystone distortion using one of the following methods.

• Correcting automatically (Auto V-Keystone) Automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion.

• Correcting manually (manual H/V-Keystone) Manually correct distortion in the horizontal and vertical directions independently.

• Correcting manually (Quick Corner) Manually correct the four corners independently.

Correcting automatically (Auto V-Keystone)

When the projector detects any movement, for example when it is installed, moved, or tilted, it automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. This function is called Auto V-Keystone.

When the projector remains still for about two seconds after it detects movement, it displays a screen for adjustment and then automatically corrects the projected image.

The following conditions are necessary to correct the projected image using Auto V-Keystone.

Correction angle: approx. 30˚ up and down

• Auto V-Keystone works only when Projection is set to Front from

the Configuration menu. s Extended - Projection p.81

• If you do not want to use Auto V-Keystone, set Auto V-Keystone to Off.

When the optional wireless LAN unit is installed and being used in Advanced connection mode, it is strongly recommended that you set security. Select one of the following security methods.

• WEP

Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key). This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.

List of Functions

• WPA

This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses TKIP and AES.

WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without using a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.
