Positioning your projector Choosing a location 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. Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1.
Obtaining a preferred projected image size The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in the projected image size. The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).
Projection dimensions Refer to "Dimensions" on page 78 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position. 16:10 Screen diagonal Screen Center of lens H W Screen size Diagonal W Inch mm (mm) 40 1016 862 60 1524 1292 80 2032 1723 100 2540 2154 120 3048 2585 150 3810 3231 200 5080 4308 250 6350 5385 300 7620 6462 Vertical offset Projection distance Distance from screen (mm) Vertical offset H Min length Average Max length (mm) (mm) (max. zoom) (min.
Shifting the projection lens vertically The vertical lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned slightly above or below the top level of the projected images. The lens shift (offset) is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height. It is measured as an offset from the projected image's vertical center.
