Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines:
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface between
2.8 and 48.3 feet from the screen. Image size generally increases with distance, but may vary depending on the position of the zoom ring and other settings.
29.8 to 48.3 ft
2.8 to 4.7 ft5.8 to 9.5 ft
Place it within 10 feet of an electrical outlet or extension
cord and 5 feet of your computer or video source.
Allow space for ventilation around and under the projector.To avoid a keystone shaped image (an image that is wider
on one side), place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely.
If possible, place the projector level with the bottom of the
screen.
If you place the projector too far below the screen, you may have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot (see page 7). This causes the projected image to lose its shape, but the projector automatically compensates. If the image is still not square, adjust it manually by pressing the buttons (see page 7) or using Quick Corner (see page 8).
If you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen, the image will be square, but it won’t fill the screen.

Calculating Image Size and Projection Distance

Use the formulas below to find out how large the image will be when you know the distance from projector to screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place the projector if you want an image of a certain size. Since you can change the image size by adjusting the zoom, formulas are given for calculating both minimum and maximum sizes.
Note: Formulas given here apply only when the image is not tilted. If you tilt the image up by extending the projector’s foot or using electronic keystone correction, your image size may vary.
To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when you know the projection distance:
Distance from screen
Keystone
Maximum diagonal size =
(projection distance[inches] x 2.54 x 0.32827 + 1.6767)
Minimum diagonal size =
(projection distance[inches] x 2.54 x 0.203 + 1.077)
To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you know the diagonal size of the screen image:
Maximum projection distance =
((diagonal size[inches] x 4.92611) - 5.30542) / 2.54
Minimum projection distance =
((diagonal size[inches] x 3.04627) - 5.10769) / 2.54

Connecting the Projector

You can connect the projector to two computer sources or four video sources—up to a total of four sources. You can include an independent sound channel for each source. (See the User’s Guide for complete setup instructions.)
Note: The preview feature lets you see all the sources at a glance, so you can easily switch to the one you want. See page 5.

Types of Connections

The following connections are possible, depending on the signal your equipment generates and its available output ports.

Starting Up the Projector

If you turn on your computer or video equipment before the projector, the projector automatically selects the connected source. If you turn on the projector first or you have multiple sources connected, you may have to switch to the desired source manually (see “Selecting the Image Source” below).

Turning On the Projector

1. Remove the lens cap.
2. Plug in the projector.
3. Wait a few seconds until the projector’s flashing and turns orange.
4. Press the red P
Power button on top of the projector or on
the remote control.
Note: If you’re using the remote control, make sure batteries are installed and the power switch on the side of the remote control is turned on.
The projector’s
