Installation Procedures

By default, this projector is adjusted for 100-inch (4:3 aspect ratio) front projection on the floor/desk. If you install the projector in other conditions, you have to change some settings. Therefore, installation procedures depend on the screen size or type, and installation method.

1 Verify the conditions of installation, such as angle of optical axis,

projection distance, height of the projector and screen.

2 Change the polarity according to the projection patterns. (page 20

(GB))

3 Install the projector and screen. (page 9 (GB))

4 Reset the registration data to factory setting. (page 100 (GB))

5 Adjust the CRT conversion angle. (page 23 (GB))

6 Adjust the lens focus and flapping of the lens. (page 60 (GB))

7 Adjust the registrations. (page 66 (GB))

8 Connect other equipment. (page 30 (GB))

9 Adjust each input signal. (pages 89 (GB) to 95 (GB))

• Fine adjustment for the registrations. (pages 89 (GB) and 92 (GB))

• Adjust the size or shift of the picture. (pages 90 (GB), 92 (GB) and

93 (GB))

• Adjust the blanking. (pages 91 (GB) and 93 (GB))

Bottom

Installation

The standard hole for installation on the bottom surface is useful for reference when measuring for installation. There are seven holes on the

bottom surface of the projector. For ceiling installation using the optional PSS-70 Projector Suspension Support, use five holes to attach the PSS-70. The other two holes are spare ones.

Notes

• Use only the M8 meter screws of 10 mm (13/

inches) to 30 mm (1 3/

long for the attachment holes for the PSS-70.

When the Screen Size is not Mentioned in the Tables

You can calculate the installation measurements described below when you use the screen whose size is not mentioned in the tables on pages 9 (GB), 10 (GB) and 12 (GB), 13 (GB).

Check your installation conditions:

• Screen size to be used (S)

• Installation measurements at the end of the manual, EL and BL for larger screen size and ES and BS for smaller screen size

See the tables on pages 105 (GB) to 113 (GB).

Center of the screen

Installation

Center of the green lens

E: Projection distance B: Screen heights

Now you can calculate the installation measurements as follows: E (mm) = ES + ((S – smaller screen size) × (EL – ES) × 0.1) B (mm) = BS + ((S – smaller screen size) × (BL – BS) × 0.1) + 254

Example: when using 124-inch screen

According to the tables on pages 106 (GB) and 107 (GB), the values E and B are as follows:

ES = 3571, BS = 860 (As the smaller screen size is 120 inch.) EL = 3856, BL = 929 (As the smaller screen size is 130 inch.)

Therefore,

E (mm) = 3571 + ((124 –120) × (3856 – 3571) × 0.1) = 3685 (mm) B (mm) = 860 + ((124 – 120) × (929 – 860) × 0.1) + 254 = 1142 (mm)

What is the optical axis angle?

The optical axis angle is the angle between the horizontal level line and the straight line from the center of the projector’s green lens to the center of the screen. When using a rear projection screen, you can get the brightest picture when the center of the screen is aligned with a straight line extension of the center of the green lens. Therefore, the most suitable optical axis angle varies depending on the height of the screen and your line of sight.

Notes on Screen

Screen size

Installation

The screen size is the diagonal length of the screen in inches, while the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3. The ratio of the screen width, height, and diagonal is 4:3:5.

If you use a screen with 4:3 aspect ratio whose size is not given in the table below, you can calculate the screen height and width from the screen size (inches) as follows. Calculate at the conversion rate of 25.4 mm to the inch.

Height (mm) = Screen size × 25.4 × Width (mm) = Screen size × 25.4 ×

Changing the Polarity

20 (GB) Installation

The polarity of the projector is adjusted to use the projector for front projection on the floor. When the projector is installed on the ceiling or used in rear projection, it is necessary to change the settings of the polarity switch and the polarity connectors.

How to change the polarity

1 Turn off the power of the projector. 2 Remove the upper cover.

For how to remove the upper cover, see page 20 (GB).

3 Press to open the connector cover. 4 Check the polarity switch position and the connecting position of the

polarity connectors.

For the installation methods of the projector and the settings of the switch and the connectors, see the diagram on the next page.

Polarity switch: Set to the lens side or board side position. Polarity connectors: Disconnect the three connectors, then turn them

over (180°) and reinsert into the receptacles on the lens side or the board side.

6 Make sure to insert the connectors correctly and to set the switch to the

correct position, then restore the connector cover and the upper cover.

Note

If the connector cover does not shut firmly, the power of the projector is not turned on.

Adjusting the CRT Conversion Angle

Adjust the CRT conversion angle so that the three CRT images converge exactly.

1 Remove the upper cover.

For how to remove the upper cover, see page 20 (GB).

2 Turn on the power of the projector. 3 Set the remote control to the service adjustment mode.

For details, see “Preparation” on page 35 (GB).

4 Reset the green, red and blue centering.

For details, see “Resetting the Data” on page 99 (GB).

5 Make sure that the on-screen display is shown as follows:

• The center of the green HATCH pattern aligns with the horizontal center of the screen.

• The center of the red and blue HATCH patterns align at even intervals from the green HATCH pattern.

Installation

If the center of the green HATCH pattern does not align with the center of the screen, re-install the projector correctly.

6 Loosen the four red CRT fixing screws (black) by using the Philips

screwdriver. Make sure not to remove the screws.
