Using This Manual This book contains all the information you need to use the projector, in addition to basic setup and maintenance instructions, troubleshooting tips, important safety instructions, specifications, and warranty information. Please follow these guidelines as you read through the manual: Warning: Must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury. Caution: Must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment. Note: Contains important information about your projector.
Setting Up the Projector Follow the instructions in this section to choose a location for the projector, connect the cables, and display an image. Choose a Location You can install the projector for the viewing setups shown below, as well as rear projection.
Ideally, keep the projector level and place it at a height so its lens is centered between the top and bottom of the screen. If this is not possible, use the lens shift dials to reposition the image. As a rule of thumb, you can use lens shift to move the image up or down by nearly its full height, and left or right by about one-half its width (for details, see page 22). Offset A Offset B Projection distance Offset refers to distance from bottom of image to center of lens using maximum lens shift.
The size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen. Depending on your display settings and how you use the Zoom ring, the actual size may differ. Use these tables as a guide for projector placement: 16:9 aspect ratio Diagonal image size Projection distance (width × height) Offset A Offset B Horizontal Offset 3.8 to 8.3 feet 1.17 to 2.52 m 40 in. (35 × 20 in.) 101.6 cm (89 × 50 cm) 9.1 in. 23 cm 28.7 in. 73 cm –15.4 to 15.4 in. –39 to 39 cm 5.8 to 12.
4:3 aspect ratio (continued) Diagonal image size Projection distance (width × height) Offset A Offset B Horizontal Offset 24.2 to 51.3 feet 7.36 to 15.62 m 55.5 in. 141 cm 175.6 in. 446 cm –94.1 to 94.1 in. –239 to 239 cm 200 in. (161 × 118 in.) 508 cm (410 × 300 cm) To determine the exact image size when you know the projection distance (or the exact projection distance when you know the desired image size), you can use the Image Size Calculator.
Installing the Projector To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 13 as a guide to positioning the projector. To suspend the projector from a ceiling, you will need the optional projector mount designed for the projector. See page 9 for ordering information. Follow the instructions included with the mount to install the projector.
The following illustrations show the dimensions of the projector: 18.3 in. (466 mm) 9.2 in. (233 mm) 6.2 in. (159 mm) 3.3 in. (83 mm) 11.8 in. (300 mm) 5.9 in. (150 mm) LENS 2.4 in. (60 mm) 15.6 in. (396 mm) 6.3 in. (160 mm) 16 Setting Up the Projector 3.3 in.
Connecting the Cables Connecting Video and Computer Equipment You can connect the projector to many types of video equipment, such as a Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite box, video game console, camcorder, or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple® Mac® system. For details on compatible video formats, see page 78.
For best results, connect your video equipment to the HDMI port, if possible.
