To use a screen size not listed in this manual, check the screen size SD (m) and use the following formula to calculate projection distance.
The unit of the formula is m. (The values of the following calculation results contain slight error.)
For PT-RZ370EA
4:3 aspect ratio16:9 aspect ratio16:10 aspect ratio
Screen size Height (SH)= SD x 0.6= SD x 0.490= SD x 0.530
Screen size Width (SW)= SD x 0.8= SD x 0.872= SD x 0.848
Min. projection distance (LW)= 1.5854 x SD - 0.0544= 1.2955 x SD - 0.0544= 1.4004 x SD - 0.0544
Max. projection distance (LT)= 3.1589 x SD - 0.0408= 2.5812 x SD - 0.0408= 2.7904 x SD - 0.0408
For PT-RW330EA

Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a at surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the projection screen is rectangular.
If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted to be rectangular by adjusting the adjustable feet. The adjustable feet
can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in a horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the gure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.

Chapter 2 Getting Started — Connecting
Connecting
Before connecting
fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
fTurn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
fTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
gWhen connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static
electricity from your body before performing work.
gDo not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the
more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
gWhen connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
fAcquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is either not supplied with the device or not
available as an option.
fVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base
corrector (TBC) must be connected.
fThe projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
fSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.
fUse a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
fRefer to “List of compatible signals” (x page 122) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector.
