Choosing a location
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
Select this location with the...

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 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)....
