■ Setting “SCREEN ASPECT”

It is necessary to set the screen aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) depending on your screen in order to properly project images on the entire area of the screen. When the 16:9 screen is used and “SCREEN ASPECT” is set to “16:9”, it is possible to project 4:3 video signals on the entire screen without losing any part of the image off screen. It is also possible to adjust the projected image vertically as described in the next section. See “SCREEN ASPECT” in the menu group 4 <SETUP> described on page 17.

■ Adjusting with “DIGITAL LENS SHIFT”

When “SCREEN ASPECT” in the menu group 4 <SETUP> on the menu is set to “16:9”, the projected image can be vertically adjusted within the range shown on the right by digitally changing [H] (the height from the lens center to the screen bottom). See page

Screen

How to install

This unit projects images when set on a tabletop with a certain height in front of the screen. The table height and [H] described on page 6 must be determined first to decide on how high the screen should be set for the best result. The height from this unit’s bottom to the lens center is 8 cm (3-1/8 inch). The position of the screen (the height from the floor to the screen bottom) can be easily determined by adding these three figures. For example, if you are setting this unit on a tabletop with a height of 50 cm (20 inch), you need to set your screen at a height of <50 cm + 8 cm + [H] cm (20 inch + 3-1/8 inch + [H] inch)> from the floor.

[H] See page 6.

8 cm (3-1/8 inch) to the lens center

Table height

Adjusting with the adjusters

When this unit is installed on a tabletop, the position of the image can be adjusted by using the adjusters located at the bottom front of this unit. Adjust the height by rotating the movable part of the two screwtype adjusters at the front bottom of this unit. The adjustment range of these adjusters is 2.5 cm (1 inch). If loosened completely, they will come off.

INSTALLATION

2. Mounting on the ceiling

Important

• Never attempt to mount this unit on the ceiling by yourself. Consult with your local authorized dealer or any reliable contractor.

A ceiling mount bracket (optional) is needed for mounting this unit on the ceiling. The vertically reversed illustration of the screen installation position shown page 6 helps determine how far the screen should be set from the ceiling. The height can be determined by adding [H] described on page 6 and the height of the ceiling mount bracket [C] as shown in the following illustration. When this unit is installed on the ceiling, “FRONT/CEILING” in the menu group 4 <SETUP> must be selected on the menu. (See page 17.) The projected image can be vertically adjusted within a certain range by changing the value in “DIGITAL LENS SHIFT” on the menu when “SCREEN ASPECT” on the menu is set to “16:9”. See page 6 for details.
