Projector Placement

15

 

 

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

You can also install the projector in a mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. An optional Ceiling Mount / Floor Stand is required when installing the projector on a ceiling, a wall, or a floor.

The projector can be installed at various angles. There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct keystone distortion using the projector controls.

a

Note the following points when selecting 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.

Projector Placement

16

 

 

Warning

You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.

Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.

Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.

When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling by using belts to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

Do not install the projector in locations exposed to high humidity and dust, such as on a kitchen counter, in the kitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations exposed to oil smoke or steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock. In addition, the oil content could cause the projector’s outer case to deteriorate and could cause the projector to fall off from the ceiling where it is suspended.

Attention

If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

s Settings > Installation > High Altitude Mode

Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

If the internal temperature of the projector gets too high due to the installation environment, select the Rear Bay Cooling setting in the projector menu to cool the streaming media player connected to the projector.

Warning

Do not cover the projection window. If the window is covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Attention

When projecting images onto a ceiling, make sure that the rear cover is replaced correctly.

• "Projection Modes" p.30

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.

17

See the Appendix for details about how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image.

When correcting keystone distortion, your image is slightly smaller.

Projector Connections

See these sections to connect the projector to a variety of projection sources.

Attention

Check the shape and orientation of the connectors on any cable you plan to connect. Do not force a connector into a port if it does not fit. The device or your projector could be damaged or could malfunction.

See the Quick Start Guide for a list of cables supplied with your projector. Purchase optional or commercially available cables when

a necessary.

Connecting to Video Sources

If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an HDMI cable and send the image source's audio with the projected image.

Attention

Do not turn on the video source before connecting it to the projector. Doing so could damage the projector.

If the port on the device you connect has an unusual shape, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the

a projector.

Some video equipment is capable of outputting different types of signals. See your video equipment manual to confirm what type of signals can be output.

Warning

Do not use the device near any medical equipment or equipment that is automatically controlled, such as automatic doors or fire alarms. Electromagnetic interference from the device may cause such equipment to malfunction and cause an accident.

Connect a Bluetooth device that supports copyright protection (SCMS-T).

a

You may not be able to connect depending on the standard and type of device.

Even when connecting within the specified communication distance, connections can be lost due to the status of the signal.

The communication method for Bluetooth uses the same frequency (2.4 GHz) as wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave ovens. Therefore, if these devices are used at the same time, radio wave interference may occur, the audio may be interrupted, or communication may not be possible. If you do need to use these devices at the same time, make sure there is enough distance between them and the Bluetooth device.

You cannot connect multiple Bluetooth devices to the projector at the same time.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Warning

Never look into the projector lens when the light source is on. This can damage your eyes and is especially dangerous for children.

When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure there is no one looking into the lens.

During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the projector.

When the Direct Power On setting is set to On in the projector's Settings menu, the projector turns on as soon as you plug it in. Note

a that the projector also turns on automatically in cases such as recovering from a power outage.
