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

Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project your presentation.
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.)

Page 29
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need
to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Parent topic: Connecting to Computer Sources
Connecting to a Computer for USB Mouse Control
If you connected your computer to a Computer, USB TypeB, or HDMI port on the projector, you can set up the remote control to act as a wireless mouse. This lets you control computer presentations at a distance from your computer. To do this, connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable, if it is not connected already.
1. Connect the USB cable to your projector's USB TypeB port.
2. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.
3. If necessary, configure your computer to work with an external USB mouse. See your computer documentation for details.

Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source
If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using a component­to-VGA 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 VGA connector to the projector's Computer port.
