Setting up

You can adjust the projection size with 2.0x zoom lens. Calculate and define the throw distance as follows.

All measurements and the calculation results below are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual

measurements.

J Calculation methods

SW (m) = SD (") x 0.0215 SH (m) = SD (") x 0.0135

LW (m) = 0.0289 x SD (") - 0.046 LT (m) = 0.0576 x SD (") - 0.061

NOTE:

• See page 59 for the screen size and throw distance of 4:3/16:9.

• Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause

malfunction of the projector.

• Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector

body approximately ± 30° vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s

life.

• For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light does not shine directly onto the

screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.
