							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR13 6 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR
6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONSSwitch off all equipment before connecting together the
various items.  Be aware of static electricity that may build
up, especially in the dry season and when operating on
synthetic carpets.  Discharge any static electricity by
touching a metallic surface before you start.Do not cover the air inlets in front and on top of the projector
housing, as this will block the cooling.  Also make sure to
place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking
the air inlet at the bottom of the unit.  A thermal safety switch
will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is
reduced.Do not connect any devices or cables other than those
supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on
the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear
identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause
permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected
source apparatus. 
						

							USER GUIDELCD PROJECTOR14 6.2 ARRANGEMENTS IN THE PROJECTION ROOM
The LCD projector should be placed on a table, or other stable hard
surface, at the distance required to give the desired size of projected
image on the wall.4.8m / 187 4.0m / 156 3.0m  / 117 2.0m / 78 1.3m / 50.7                           Projector-Screen Distance3.53m / 138 2.92m / 114 2.15m / 83.9 1.4m / 54.6 0.86m / 33.5              Diagonal Screen SizeMAX        MIN
(Actual projection distances and screen sizes may vary)
The image should be projected onto a flat surface screen with high
reflectivity to get a bright  and undistorted image.
The best viewing results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct
sunlight shining in.  Try to ensure also that the projected image is visible
to the whole audience by placing source equipment where it will not
obscure viewing.  The LCD projector is provided with extra long cables
for this purpose.

device settings are adjusted.  The remote control keys are used to adjust
the settings of the LCD projector correctly so as to achieve the best
possible viewing conditions.

frequently.  Allow some minutes for the unit to warm up before adjusting
the settings. Many settings will automatically be memorized individually
for each source for future use (see Using the LCD Projector).OPERATIONLENS
