Setting Up the Projector 15
Positioning the Projector
Before connecting the projector, you
need to decide where to place it.
Placing the projector on a table in
front of the screen lets you stand in the
front of the room, face the audience,
and remain close enough to the
equipment to be able to control it.
(If you’re installing it in a different
position, see page 16.)
Place the projector somewhere between 1 and 10 m from the screen,
as described in the figures below. Image size increases with distance,
but can vary depending on how you’ve adjusted the optical zoom,
aspect ratio, and other settings.
