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.
b
Replace the old batteries with new batteries.
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.
c
Replace the battery cover.

Preparing the Projector

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

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)
Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear projec‐
tion)
Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐
ing 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.
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.
a
An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the
projector from a ceiling.

Installation methods
Install the projector as follows.

Installing the Projector

19
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.
a
See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the
screen.
s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.34
See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level
surface.
s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.39
s
"Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.34

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.
s
"Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.112

When you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be
reduced.

The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected.

Connecting Image Sources

To project images from DVD players or game consoles and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.
A
When using a commercially available HDMI cable
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.
B
When using the optional component video cable
s "Optional Accessories" p.111
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 image source to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.
C
When using a commercially available video or S-video cable
Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port. Or, connect the S-Video output port on the video equipment to the projector's S-Video port. You can
output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.

a
Use an HDMI cable that meets the HDMI standards.
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.
The cable to be connected to the projector varies depending on the type of video signal being output by the video equipment. The video equipment may be able
to output different types of video signal. The following shows standard image resolutions, from the highest resolution to the lowest.
Component video > S-video > Composite video
See the documentation supplied with the video equipment to check what types of video signal it can output. Composite video may be listed as "video
output".
When a game console is connected, the projected image may be slightly delayed when operating the game console.
