Setting up your projector

Before setting up

Before setting up the projector, check the operating environment. If the environmental requirements are not satisﬁ ed, the projector may break down or fail.

Setting up the screen

Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See page 12.)

• Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center.

• Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reﬂ ecting on the screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view.

Screen size and projection distance

Refer to the following table to determine the screen size and projection distance.

• For the aspect ratio setting, see page 22.

• The ﬁ gures in the tables are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements.
