Projector Placement Guidelines

To get the best results when projecting your images, it is
important to position the projector at the proper height and
distance relative to the screen.

When projecting from a table or desk, place the projector so
the lens is aligned as closely as possible with the bottom of
your screen:

When projecting from the ceiling, align the lens as closely as
possible with the top of your screen:

To determine the projection distance when you know the
diagonal size of the screen image:

❏

Inches:

Maximum projection distance = (2.1593
Minimum projectiondistance = (1.6562

❏

Centimeters:

Maximum projection distance = (2.1593
Minimum projectiondistance = (1.6562

feet away from the screen, depending on the setting of the
zoom ring.

162.5 inch es (4.2 m) 212.9 inch es (5.4 m)

The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the actual image size. To determine the exact distance required
for a particular image size (or to determine the size of an image
at a particular distance), use the following formulas.
(Remember that the size of the image can be changed by
rotating the zoom ring.)
