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; 2. Ceiling in front of screen; 3. Floor at rear of screen; or 4. Ceiling at rear of screen. Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.
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. 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).
How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size 1. 2. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "Screen Dimensions". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled "Average". This is the projection distance. 3.
Projection dimensions Refer to "Dimensions" on page 48 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.
Installation for a 4:3 ratio screen The illustrations and table below are provided for those users who already have 4:3 aspect ratio screens or intend to purchase 4:3 aspect ratio screens to view 16:9 ratio projected images.
Connecting with video equipment You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh system. However, it has no built-in speakers and cannot be connected to audio equipment. The projector can be connected to multiple video equipment at the same time by using different cables.
Connecting HDMI devices You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices. HDMI device: DVD player, digital tuner, etc. From audio output terminals To audio input terminals HDMI cable You should also connect the separate audio cable to a suitable audio amplifier. Connecting RGBHV devices Use a RGBHV video cable with 5 BNC male connectors for connection. Be sure to match the corresponding colors between the cables and the terminals.
Connecting S-Video or video devices From audio output terminals To audio input terminals S-Video cable or Video cable You need only connect S-Video or composite Video cable from the same device, never both at the same time.
