Setting up

Setting up

Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be
used in.

Arrangement

Refer to table T-1 and figures F-1 and F-2 at the end of User's Manual (concise) to determine
the screen size and projection distance.

The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen: 1280 x 800
a Screen size (diagonal)

• For the case of installation in special conditions such as on the wall or ceiling, the
specified mounting accessories and service may be required. Before installing the
projector, consult your dealer about your installation.

•

The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is mounted on locations
such as the wall or ceiling, due to the flexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment
is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.

• The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30
minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust
the image position and/or focus as necessary.

• Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a
screen carefully to have better performance.

- A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected

image. A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this
projector.

- A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable

for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide
viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.

- A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not

a failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use
with this projector.

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range
when the sensor is active:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor)
within 3 meters about.

NOTE

If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal reflect.

• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1
LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.

•

The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun
light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter fluorescent
lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of
projector avoiding those lights.

•

►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as
