Setting Setting up up Projection method You can use any of the following 4 projection methods. Select a projection method suitable for the position of the projector. For projection method settings, see [PROJECTION METHOD] in the [OPTION] menu.
Setting up Projection related Install the projector with reference to the figure below and the projection distance. You can adjust the display size and display position according to the screen size and screen position.
Setting up You can calculate projection dimensions other than those in the above table from the projection screen size SD (m) using the formula below. All units are meters. (Values obtained using the formula below contain a slight error.) If the projection screen size is assumed to be SD, 16:9 size 2.35:1 size Projection screen height (SH) = SD (m) × 0.490 = SD (m) × 0.392 Projection screen width (SW) = SD (m) × 0.872 = SD (m) × 0.920 Minimum distance (LW) = SD (m) × 1.1503 − 0.056 = SD (m) × 1.
Setting up Lens shift and positioning If the projector is not positioned right in front of the center of the screen, you can adjust the projected image position by moving the lens shift dials within the shift range of the lens. ■■Adjusting the lens shift 1111 Remove the lens shift cover. zz See “About your projector” ( page 18) regarding how to open the lens shift cover. 2222 Rotate the lens shift lever in the direction shown in the figure (counterclockwise) to release the lock.
Setting up ■■Projector location range The setting position can be adjusted within the following range. See “Projection related” regarding adjustment of the projection screen height (SH) and width (SW).
