Calculation methods for screen dimensions
You can calculate more detailed screen dimension from the screen diagonal.
SW (m) = SD (m) x 0.872 |
SH (m) = SD (m) x 0.490 |
LW (m) = 1.2244 x SD (m) - 0.056 |
LT (m) = 2.449 x SD (m) - 0.056 |
* The results above are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual measurements.
NOTE:
•Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause malfunction of the projector.
•Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector body less than approximately ± 30° vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s life.
•For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light
does not shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.

NOTE:
•A translucent screen is required for rear projection.
•When mounting the projector in the ceiling, the optional ceiling mount bracket (ET-PKX200) is required.
•See “Ceiling mount bracket safeguards” on page 50.
Front leg adjusters and throwing angle
You can screw up/down the front leg adjusters to control the angle of the projector for adjusting the throwing angle. See “Positioning the image” on page 21.
NOTE:
•Heated air comes out of the air exhaust port. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly.
•If keystone distortion occurs, see “KEYSTONE” on page 36.
•Screw up the adjuster legs, and an audible click will be heard as the limit.

NOTE:
•When the projector is located right in front of the screen and the lens shift dials is centered, you will get the best quality of the projection image.
•When the shift lever is at the vertical limit of the shift range, you cannot move the lever to the horizontal limit, likewise when the shift lever is at the horizontal limit of the shift range, you cannot move the lever to the horizontal limit.
•When the projector is tilted and you adjust KEYSTONE, the center of the screen and the lens need to be realigned.
•Do not attempt to pull hard the shift lever while adjusting as this may damage the projector.
