Distance from the projector

Point

·The projection distances listed above are the distances when the standard lens is in use. If optional lenses are to be used, refer to the relevant instruction manuals for further details.

·The screen size will become smaller when the trapezoid correction function is used.

Installation Procedure - 25

Projection angles

The optimum projection screen is acquired by placing the center of the projector ’s lens and a right-angle to the screen.

When viewing from the side

It is possible to move the projection position up and down with the lens shift function

A	A
B	B
A:B 10:Becomes 0	A:B 5:Becomes 5

When viewing from the top or bottom

Point

Although the projection position can be adjusted with the foot lever (see page 47), there are cases where the screen will distort into a trapezoid shape. In this event, adjust the trapezoid distortion with the trapezoid correction function. (see page 49)

26 - Installation Procedure

Connections

This section provides explanations on connecting the projector to computers and video equipment.

■ Connecting the projector to a computer

Switch off the power supply to the projector and computer before attempting to make the connection.

Eligible computers

There are computers with which connections cannot be established and computers that cannot be used for projection purposes even though a connection has been established. First of all, it is necessary to confirm that a connection can be established with the computer in use.

● Conditions for eligible computers

Condition #1: The computer must be fitted with an image signal output port

Check to ascertain that the computer is fitted with ports that will output image signals, such as the [RGB Port], the [Monitor Port] and the [Video Port]. If you have trouble confirming this, refer to chapter on external monitor connections in the computer ’s instruction manual.

There are computers, such as combined computer/monitor models and laptop models, that do not allow connections or for which optional external output ports must be purchased.

Point

Depending on the computer, there are cases when it is necessary to switch the image signal output with the connection key (, etc.,) and the settings.

NEC	Panasonic	Toshiba	IBM	SONY	FUJITSU	Macintosh
Fn+F3	Fn+F3	Fn+F5	Fn+F7	Fn+F7	Fn+F10	Mirroring is set up with monitor
						adjustments on the control panel after
						starting up.

The table shown above provides examples for certain products. Refer to the computer’s instruction manual for further details.

Condition #2: The resolution and frequency of the computer must be within the boundaries listed in the chart on the next page.

Projection will not be possible if the computer does not support the output image signal resolutions and frequencies shown in the chart on the next page (there are cases where projection is possible, but vivid projection will not be possible).

Confirm the image signal resolution and frequency with the computer’s instruction manual.

There are also computers available that allow the output resolution to be amended. In this case, amend the parameters to fit within the ranges shown in the chart on the next page.
