Introduction 11 Remote control effective range Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projectors IR remote control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensors should not exceed 6 meters (~ 20 feet). Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam. Replacing the remote control battery 1. Pull out the battery holder. Please follow the illustrated instructions. Push and hold the locking arm whilst pulling out the battery holder. 2. Insert the new battery in the holder. Note the positive polarity should face outward. 3. Push the holder into the remote control. • Avoid excessive heat and humidity. • There may be battery damage if the battery is incorrectly replaced. • Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer. • Dispose of the used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions. • Never throw a battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion. • If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the battery to prevent damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage. • Operating the projector from the front Ap p r ox. 1 5 ° • Operating the projector from the rear Appr ox . 15° Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Positioning your projector 12 Positioning your projector Choosing a location Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1. Table in front of screen; 2. Ceiling in front of screen; 3. Table at rear of screen; 4. Ceiling at rear of screen. 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. 1. Front Table Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability. 2. Front Ceiling Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen. Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling. Set in the Advanced > Mirror menu after you turn the projector on. 3. Rear Table Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen is required. Set in the Advanced > Mirror menu after you turn the projector on. 4. Rear Ceiling Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required for this installation location. Set in the Advanced > Mirror menu after you turn the projector on.

Positioning your projector 13 Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the projector We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property. If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed. If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws. You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose. Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Positioning your projector 14 Obtaining a preferred projected image size The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors in the projected image size. The native resolution of the projector is 800 x 600 pixels, which is a 4 to 3 aspect ratio (expressed as 4:3). To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projectors native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projectors native aspect height. Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image displayed by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3 projection display area. When determining the position of your projector, you should consider its intended use and input signal aspect ratios. All inputs (other than composite Video being fed a 16:9 aspect signal) will display in a 4:3 aspect ratio (and will require an additional 33% display height than that of the scaled 16:9 aspect image projection area). IMPORTANT: Do not select a permanent projector position based upon a 16:9 projection if you will ever need to select an input (other than composite Video being fed a 16:9 aspect signal). The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the screen). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects at a slightly downward angle. You can see from the diagram on page 16, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image. If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately. When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection distance. BenQ has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 aspect display area16:9 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect display area Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Positioning your projector 15 How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size 1. Select your screen size. 2. 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. This will determine the final vertical offset placement of the projector in relation to the edge of the screen. 4. The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above. For example, if you are using a 120 inch screen, the average projection distance is 4467 mm and with a vertical offset of 183 mm. If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See Correcting keystone on page 27 for details. How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room. The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room. 1. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance. 2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average distance from screen column labelled Average. Check that your measured distance is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average distance value. 3. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen diagonal listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance. 4. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the vertical Offset value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to the horizontal plane of the projector. For example, if your measured projection distance was 4.5m (4500mm), the closest match in the Average column is 4593 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 3000 mm (3 m) screen is required. If you can only obtain imperial sized screens, the listed screen sizes on either side of the 3 m screen are the 9 and 10 screens. Checking the min and max projection distance values for these screen sizes, indicates that the 4.5 m measured projection distance will need to be reduced to fit the 9 size screen, or increased to fit the 10 size screen. The projector can be adjusted (using the zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes at those projection distances. Be aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values. Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Positioning your projector 16 There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projectors optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location. 4:3 Screen DiagonalDistance from Screen in mmVertical Offset in mm FeetInchesmmMin length (with max. zoom)Ave r a g eMax length (with min. zoom) 4 48 1219 1778 1867 1956 73 1500 2187 2297 2406 90 5 60 1524 2222 2333 2444 91 6 72 1829 2667 2800 2933 110 2000 2916 3062 3208 120 7 84 2134 3111 3267 3422 128 8 96 2438 3556 3733 3911 146 2500 3645 3828 4010 150 9 108 2743 4000 4200 4400 165 3000 4347 4593 4812 180 10 120 3048 4444 4667 4889 183 3500 5104 5359 5614 210 12 144 3658 5334 5601 5867 219 4000 5833 6124 6416 240 15 180 4572 6667 7000 7333 274 5000 7291 7655 8020 300 18 216 5486 7999 8399 8799 329 6000 8749 9186 9624 360 25 300 7620 11111 11667 12222 457 Maximum zoom Minimum zoom Projection distanceCenter of lens Screen Offset Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
