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.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1. Front Table

Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and 
the video format each factors in the projected image size.
The projector should always be placed hori zontally 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)....

7554 mm and with a vertical offset of 457 mm.
If you are using the MX723 and your measured projection distance is 5.5 m (5500 mm), the 
closest match in the  Distance from screen (mm)  column is 5662 mm. Looking across this
