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.
