Preparing the Projector This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.
Installing the Projector 19 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. 20 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 21 The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected. Connecting Image Sources To project images from DVD players or game consoles and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods. A 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.
Connecting Equipment Attention • Turn off the equipment you want to connect before connecting. 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 a 23 • Use an HDMI cable that meets the HDMI standards. • If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector. • The cable to be connected to the projector varies depending on the type of video signal being output by the video equipment. The video equipment may be able to output different types of video signal.
Connecting Equipment 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.30 Connecting USB Devices You can connect devices such as the optional Document Camera, a USB memory, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras. Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB-A port on the projector.
Connecting Equipment 25 When the USB device is connected, you can project files on the USB memory or digital camera using PC Free. s "PC Free examples" p.45 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. When connecting and using a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.
Connecting Equipment Installing the Wireless LAN Unit 26 a The LAN standby screen is displayed. By installing the supplied or optional wireless LAN unit, you can project a computer screen over a network. Connect the wireless LAN unit to the projector's USB-A port. a • When connecting to the network using wireless LAN, make sure you make network settings from the Configuration menu. s "Wireless LAN menu" p.78 • When moving the projector, make sure you remove the wireless LAN unit for safety reasons.
