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 or on a floor stand 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.
• Place the projector parallel to the screen.
• 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.) You can also
use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

Turn on the computer or video equipment you want to use before you turn on the projector so it can
display the image source.
1.Connect the power cord to the projector's power inlet.
86
2.Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

yet turned on (it is in standby mode).
Note: With Direct Power On turned on, the projector turns on as soon as you plug it in.
3.Press the power button on the remote control to turn on the projector.
The projector beeps and the status light flashes blue as the projector warms up. After about 30
seconds, the status light stops flashing and turns blue.
Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes and is
especially dangerous for children and pets.
Note: If the Auto Source Search setting in the Extended menu is enabled, the projector
automatically detects the input signal when you turn it on.
If you do not see a projected image right away, try the following:
• Turn on the connected computer or video device.
• Insert a DVD or other video media, and press the play button (if necessary).
• Press the Source Search button on the remote control to detect the video source.
