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.

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors

sizes at the projection distance. Be aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values.
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or

Keystone function to correct the distortion....

offset from the projected images vertical center. You can use the lever to shift the projection lens 
upwards or downwards within the...
