Setting up Adjusting the projection size The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector's lens to the screen. Lens shift Top Offset Centre of lens Offset Lens shift Bottom Adjusting the projection size The height from the centre of the lens to the bottom of the Projection distance screen will vary depending on the lens shift setting. While referring to the table below, position the projector so that the images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size.
Setting up Projection methods If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.
Connecting Image Sources • Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result. • Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.
