Positioning your projector ENGLISH 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 the 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. 16:10 is the native aspect ratio of LX-MU500/LX-MW500. To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width.
1. 2. 3. 4. Select your image size. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your image size in the left columns labeled "Image size". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labeled "Distance from the screen: L". This is the projection distance. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical offset (Hd)" value.
Layout of the projector Image size varies depending on the distance between the screen and the projector.
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. Use the wheel to shift the projection lens upwards or downwards within the allowable range depending on your desired image position. To use the lens shift wheel: Turn the wheel to adjust the projected image position. Lens shift adjustable range LX-MW500 Vertical shift: +55%~+57.5% 0.025H H 0.
