Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover 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.

Parent topic: Setting Up the Projector

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways: Front
24
Rear
Front Ceiling
Rear Ceiling
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen, not at an angle, if possible. If the projector cannot be centered in front of the screen, use lens shift to reposition the image instead of using keystone correction for better image quality.
If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the projector's menu system.
25
Parent topic: Projector Placement

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: Setting Up the Projector

Projector Connections

You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.
• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, streaming devices, digital cameras, smartphones, and tablets with compatible video output ports.
Note: To connect a smartphone or tablet, you may need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector. This allows you to mirror your smartphone or tablet screens, watch movies, and more. Contact your device manufacturer for compatible adapter options.
• Connect any Windows or Mac computer that has a standard video output (15-pin VGA monitor) port, or HDMI port.
Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

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.

1. Plug in the HDMI cable.
30
2. Insert the end of the cable clip anchor into the cable clip slot near the HDMI port.
3. Place the open cable clip around the HDMI cable, but don't lock it into place.
4. Slide the cable clip onto the anchor and lock the clip onto the HDMI connector.
To remove the cable clip, open the clip and disconnect the HDMI cable. Then pinch the sides of the cable clip anchor and carefully pull it out of the cable clip slot.

Connecting to an MHL-Compatible Device
If you have an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet, you can connect it to the WirelessHD transmitter using either an MHL cable or an HDMI cable with a device-compatible MHL adapter (PowerLite Pro Cinema LS9600e). If you have a device with a built-in MHL connector, plug it directly into the HDMI 5 /
MHL (IN) port. Note: Some connected devices may not charge when using an MHL adapter.
1. Connect the MHL cable or adapter to your device's Micro-USB port.
2. If you are using an MHL adapter, connect it to an MHL-compatible HDMI cable.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the WirelessHD transmitter's HDMI 5 / MHL (IN) port.

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.
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.

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.
32
