Preparing the Projector This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.
Installing the Projector 20 Installation Methods Warning The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location. • Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection) • Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion) • Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen.
Installing the Projector • Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen. If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image. 21 Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom.

Connecting Equipment 23 The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected. Connecting a Computer To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods. A When using the supplied computer cable Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer port.
Connecting Equipment 24 4 4 DisplayPort a • You can use a USB cable to connect the projector to a computer to project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. s "Projecting with USB Display" p.32 • Some commercially available DisplayPort cables come with a lock. When removing the cable, press the button on the cable's connector section and pull out the cable.
Connecting Equipment 25 C When using a commercially available HDMI cable Connect the HDMI port on the image source to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the image source's audio with the projected image. Attention • If the input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could cause a malfunction. • If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction.
Connecting Equipment 26 Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB(TypeA) port on the projector. When the USB device is connected, you can project files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow. s "Slideshow examples" p.53 Attention • • • • If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly.
Connecting Equipment 27 Connecting External Equipment You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker. A When outputting images to an external monitor Connect the external monitor to the projector's Monitor Out port using the cable supplied with the external monitor. B When outputting audio to an external speaker Connect the external speaker to the projector's Audio Out port using a commercially available audio cable.
Connecting Equipment Connecting a LAN Cable Connect a LAN port on network hubs or other equipment to the projector's LAN port with a commercially available 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable. By connecting a computer to the projector over a network, you can project images and check the status of the projector. a To prevent malfunctions, use a category 5 or higher shielded LAN cable.
