You can also place the projector in the following three ways.

• Front ceiling: Mount the projector on ceiling with upside down in front of the projection screen. A projector mount is required to mount the projector on ceiling.

• Rear table: Place the projector on a surface behind the projection screen. A special rear projection screen is required.

• Rear ceiling: Mount the projector on ceiling with upside down behind the projection screen. To mount the projector on ceiling behind the screen, a projector mount and a special rear projection screen is required.

• After a particular placement is made, adjust projection to the correction position (

Mode).

Notice

For overhead mounting on ceiling, purchase a projector mount recommended by an installation professional and follow the instructions that come with the mount.

Before mounting on the ceiling, make sure the ceiling can support the weight of the projector and mounting kit.
