Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Projector Placement Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image. You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.

• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.

Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)

Parent topic: Projector Connections

Connecting to an HDMI Video Source

If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable. The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.

1. Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.

2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p, 720p, or higher. See your game console documentation for instructions.

You can also select the Fast Image Processing setting to reduce lag time. Note: When an audio/video source that meets the HDMI CEC standard is connected to the projector's

HDMI port, you can use the projector's remote control to control certain features of the linked device by pressing the HDMI Link button on the remote control and setting HDMI Link to On.

Attaching and Removing the Cable Clips

You can install the cable clips that came with your projector to provide additional support to the HDMI cables.

1. Plug in the HDMI cables.

2. Insert each guide into the cable clip holes near the HDMI port.

3. Attach the cable clips to the HDMI cables. Be sure to leave the clamps unlocked.

4. Slide each cable clip onto the guides and lock the clamps onto the connectors.

To remove the cable clips, open the clamps and disconnect the cables. Then pinch the sides of each guide and carefully pull them out of the cable clip holes.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources

Connecting to a Component Video Source

If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using an optional component video cable. Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter cable along with a component video cable.

1. Connect the component connectors to your video source's color-coded component video output

ports, usually labeled Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. If you are using an adapter, connect these connectors to your component video cable.

2. Connect the other end to the projector's color-coded Component video input ports.

If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's Extended menu.

You can also select the Fast Image Processing setting to reduce lag time.

Connecting to a Composite Video Source

If your video source has a composite video port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional RCA-style video or A/V cable.

1. Connect the cable with the yellow connector to your video source's yellow video output port.

2. Connect the other end to the projector's Video port.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you

switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p, 720p, or higher. See your game console documentation for instructions.
