Positioning your projector Choosing a location Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1.
Obtaining a preferred projected image size The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format all factor into the resulting projected image size. 4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.
How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size 1. 2. Select your screen size. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "4:3 screen diagonal". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled "Average". This is the projection distance. 3. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical offset" value.
Projection dimensions Refer to "Dimensions" on page 53 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.
