Preparing

Installing

Projected Image and Position of Projector

Install the projector as follows.

Installing in parallel with the screen

If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image. Adjust the projector's position so that it is installed in parallel with the screen.

cIf the projector cannot be installed in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the image by using lens shift. s p.30

Installing the projector horizontally by adjusting the height of either side

If the projector is tilted, the projected image is also tilted.

Install the projector horizontally so that both sides are at the same height.

If the projector cannot be installed horizontally, you can adjust the projector's tilt with the front foot. s p.31

14

Preparing

Various Setting Methods

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, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening, or if you use items such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the outer projector case may crack, which causes it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the projector.

•Do not set up the projector in locations exposed to high humidity and dust, such as on a kitchen counter, in the kitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations exposed to oil smoke or steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock. In addition, the oil content could cause the projector’s outer case to deteriorate and could cause the projector to fall off from the ceiling where it is suspended.

•Do not install it on an unstable shelf or in a place out of load range. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.

•When installing it in a high position such as on a shelf, take measures against falling by using wires to ensure the safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

•Do not block the air intake vent and air exhaust vent of the projector. Blocking its air intake vent and air exhaust vent may trap heat inside causing fire.

Attention

•Do not use the projector installed vertically. Doing so could cause a malfunction.

•Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty. s p.100

Placing on a table and projecting

You can install the projector on a table in your living room or on a low shelf to project images.

15

Preparing

Suspending from the ceiling and projecting

You can suspend the projector from the ceiling with the optional ceiling mount to project images.

cWhen suspending from the ceiling and projecting, set Projection to Front/Ceiling or Rear/ Ceiling. s Extended - Projection p.78

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Maximum Values

The size of the projection increases as the projector is moved away from the screen.

Use the table below to setup the projector at the optimum position from the screen. The values given here are for your reference only.

The maximum lens shift adjustment values are shown in the following table.

cThe projected image becomes smaller after correcting distortion. Increase the projection distance to fit the projected image to the screen size.

When adjusting the projection position vertically in lens shift

A: Distance from the center of the lens to the bottom edge of the projected image (when lens shift is raised to its highest level)

B: Distance from the center of the lens to the bottom edge of the projected image (when lens shift is lowered to its lowest level)

E : Projection distance from the projector to the screen

F: Size of the projected image
