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
