Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:

1. Floor in front of screen (Standard);

2. Ceiling in front of screen (Ceiling);

3. Floor at rear of screen (Rear); or

4. Ceiling at rear of screen (Rear Cei ling).
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into
consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as
the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

I. Floor in front of screen:

Select this location with the projector placed
near the floor in front of the screen. This is the
most common way to position the projector for
quick setup and portability.

III. Floor at rear of screen:

Select this location with the projector placed
near the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is
required.
Set Rear in the Setup > Projection Mode menu
after you turn the projector on.

II. Ceiling in front of screen:

Select this location with the projector suspended
from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the Projector Ceiling Mounti ng Kit from
your dealer to mount your projector on the ceil­ing.
Set Ceiling in the Setup > Projection Mode
menu after you turn the projector on.

IV. Ceiling at rear of screen:

Select this location with the projector suspended
from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and
the Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required
for this installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the Setup > Projection
Mode menu after you turn the projector on.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each fac­tors in the projected image size. Separate tables of dimensions for both 16:9 and 4:3 screen ratios
below have been provided to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector.

1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, (16:9 or 4:3)?

2. Select the Screen Size you desire from the 16:9 ratio screen dimension table or 4:3 ratio screen
dimension table below, according to what screen type you have. Install the projector at a dis­tance from the screen corresponding to between the Min. and Max. Projection Distance values
in the table.

3. Decide the exact height of your projector.

For example, if you are using a 16:9 screen with 80 inches diagonal, you are suggested to place your
projector within a range between 2.34m to 3.18m from the screen. The ideal height of your projec-

tor lens center will be level with the bottom or top side of the screen.

the projected image becomes vertical trapezoidal. To correct this
problem, adjust the value of Keystone in the Setup menu.

Auto-adjusting the image

With one press of the Auto button on the projector, the built-in intelli­gent auto-adjustment function will re-adjust the values of Frequency
and Clock to provide the best image quality.
The current source information will be displayed at the bottom right of
the screen for 3 seconds.

The screen will be blank while Auto adjustment is functioning.

Fine-tuning the image size and clarity

1. Adjust the projected image to the size that
you need using the zoom ring.

2. Then sharpen the image by rotating the
focus ring.

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you have to do on a regular basis is keep the
lens clean. Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other
parts needs replacing.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Before you attempt to clean the lens,
turn the projector off, unplug the power cord, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

1. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. (Available from building hardware or photo­graphic suppliers.)

2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a proper photographic lens brush or moisten a
clean soft lens cloth with lens cleaner to gently wipe the lens surface.

Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels can dam­age the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning solution. Do
not attempt to clean the lens whilst the projector is switched on or is still hot from previous use.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you attempt to clean the case, turn the projector off, unplug the power cord, and leave it sev­eral minutes to cool completely.

1. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

2. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then
wipe the case.

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
