Positioning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
3 and 42 feet from the screen.
Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector.
Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of the
image source.
Face the projector squarely toward the screen.
The projector supports 5 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is
installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the
correct
Projection option from the Setting menu after you turn
it on.
If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need
to adjust its shape. See page 9.
Image Size and Projection Distance
The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. Because
other adjustments—such as those made with the zoom ring,
Aspect button, and Keystone button—also affect the size of the
image, the numbers in the table should be considered for
general guidelines, not exact measurements.
Turning the Projector On and Off
Once the projector is connected to your computer or video
source and plugged in, follow these steps to turn it on and
display an image:
1. Make sure the power is turned off for the projector and any
sources connected to it.
2. Remove the lens cover.
3. Turn on the main power switch on the back of the projector.
