INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Installation Type
Choose the installation type which suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or invert-
ed mount.
Screen Type Front Screen Installations
While there are two basic screen types, flat and curved, generally flat screens are recommended
for this projector. Flat screens offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. The
image is diffused equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.
Because of the low gain, flat screens are most effective when ambient lighting is reduced,
although this difference may be negligible given the high brightness output from this projector.
