Positioning the Projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of
your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between
the projector and the rest of your equipment.
Here are some general guidelines:
Position the projector on a at surface at a right angle to the screen. The
•
projector must be at least 2.5 feet (46.2 cm) from the projection screen.
Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and
•
within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector
within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation
•
guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To
turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 33. We recommend
using the ceiling mounts described at www.depthq.com/accessories.html.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance
•
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the
video format (as well as the focus to a small extent) determine the size
of the projected image. The native aspect ratio of the projector is 16:9.
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This vertical image oset is
•
115%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the
image will be 1.15’ above the center of the lens.
Calculating Distance to Screen
You can calculate the approximate minimum and maximum throw distance
for any horizontal or 16:9 diagonal screen size using the following equations:
As distance increases, the
image gets larger and
moves upwards.

Connecting a Video Device
For 3D use, you will need to use a computer running stereoscopicallyenabled software as your source. For 2D use, you can connect video devices
such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles,
HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the audio
directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can
bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from
your source to a stereo or home theater system.
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a
cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner rst. Examples
of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV
boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you
want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the
Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu.
See page 30 for more information.
What is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are
usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs
are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may
determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall,
you don’t have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also
help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most
movies are 16:9.
If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for
anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3
screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you
also have the option of using either 4:3 (to ll the screen) or Native (for
direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies
only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.
