Installation Choosing a location Before choosing an installation location for your projector, take the following factors into consideration: • Size and position of your screen • Electrical outlet location • Location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment You can install your projector in the following ways. 1. Front Table: 3. Front Ceiling: Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen.
Obtaining a preferred projected image size The projected image size is determined by the distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format. Projection dimensions Use the illustration and the table below to help you determine the projection distance.
Shifting the projection lens vertically The vertical lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned slightly above or below the top level of the projected images. The lens shift (offset) is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height. It is measured as an offset from the projected image's vertical center.
Connection When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to: 1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections. 2. Use the correct signal cables for each source. 3. Make sure the cables are firmly inserted. • In the connection illustrations shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents"). They are commercially available from electronics stores. The illustrations below are for reference only.
Operation Starting up the projector 1. Plug the power cable into the projector and a power outlet. Turn on the power outlet switch (where fitted). The POWER indicator light on the projector lights orange after power has been applied. Please use the supplied power cable to avoid possible dangers such as electric shock and fire. 2. Press to start the projector. The POWER indicator light flashes green and stays green when the projector is on.
Selecting an input source The projector can be connected to multiple equipment at the same time. However, it only displays one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the available signals. If you want the projector to always automatically search for the signals: • Go to the SOURCE menu, and then enable Quick Auto Search. (see "Quick Auto Search" on page 25) To select the video source: 1. Press SOURCE to display the source selection bar. 2.
Adjusting the projected image Adjusting the projection angle The projector is equipped with 2 adjuster feet. These adjusters change the image height and projection angle. Screw the feet in or out as appropriate to aim and level the projection angle. If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes vertical trapezoidal. To correct this, see "Auto-adjusting the image" for details.
Correcting keystone Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at either the top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. Besides adjusting the height of the projector, you may correct this manually by following the instructions below: 1. Do one of the following steps to display the Keystone window: • Press / or / on the projector. • Press / or / on the remote control.
