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/
long for the attachment holes for the PSS-70.

• When attaching the PSS-70, use the M8 meter screws of 20 mm (25/32 inches)
supplied with 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 (EN)

Installation

and 11 (EN).

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 106 (EN) to 110 (EN).

Center of the green lens

B

Center of the screen

E
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 107 (EN) and 108 (EN), 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)

Floor Installation Using Rear Projection Flat Screen

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.

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

If you use a screen with 3:4 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 × 4/5

Adjusting the CRT Conversion Angle

Installation

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 17 (EN).

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

For details, see “Preparation” on page 37 (EN).

4 Reset the green, red and blue centering.

For details, see “Resetting the Data” on page 100 (EN).

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.

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.
