Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations.
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.
*To set the projector position:
1. Press MENU on the projector or remote control and then press  /  until the 
System Setup menu is highlighted.
2. Press  /  to highlight Projector Position and press  /  until the correct 
position is selected.
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.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 Rear Table after you turn the projector on.
2. Front Ceiling:
Select this location with the projector suspended 
from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit 
from your dealer to mount your projector on the 
ceiling.
*Set Front Ceiling after you turn the projector 
on.4. Rear Ceiling:
Select this location with the projector suspended 
from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the 
BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit are required for 
this installation location.
*Set Rear Ceiling after you turn the projector

  Positioning your projector
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 projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly 
perpendicular 90° right-angle square) to the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled 
projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be 
mounted upside-down.
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 positions 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.
This projector is equipped with a movable lens. See Shifting the projection lens on page 16 for details. 
You can see the diagrams on pages 14 and 15 for the vertical offset values in the dimension tables that are 
measured when the lens is shifted fully up or down.
How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size
1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?
2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled Screen 
dimensions. 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. Decide the exact position of your projector according to the position of your screen and the 
adjustable lens shift range.
For example, if you are using a 120-inch, 4:3-aspect-ratio screen, please refer to The screen aspect ratio 
is 4:3 and the projected picture is 16:9. The average projection distance is 4944 mm.
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. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?
2. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the 
projection distance.
3. 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.
4. 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.
For example, if you have a 16:9-aspect-ratio screen and your measured projection distance was 4500 mm, 
please refer to The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the projected picture is 16:9. The closest match in 
the Average column is 4488 cm. Looking across this row shows that a 100-inch screen is required.
Checking the min and max projection distance values in the columns of Projection distance  [mm] 
on page 14 indicates that the 4500 mm measured projection distance will also fit the 90 and 110-inch size 
screens. The projector can be adjusted (using the zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes 
at the projection distance. Be aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values.

							14 Positioning your projector  
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 picture distortion on page 25 for details.

							16 Positioning your projector  
Shifting the projection lens
The lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be 
positioned off the center of the screen.
The lens shift is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height or width. It is measured as an 
offset from the projected image’s vertical or horizontal center. You can use the lever to shift the 
projection lens in any direction within the allowable range depending on your desired image position.
To use the lens shift lever:
1. Release the lever by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Move the lever to adjust the projected image position.
3. Lock the lever by turning it clockwise.
•  Please do not over-tighten the lever.
•  Lens shift adjustment will not result in a degraded picture quality. In the unlikely event that the image 
distortion is produced, see Adjusting the projected image on page 25 for details.
•  When the screen position is fixed

  Connecting with video equipment
Connecting with video equipment
You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, Blu-ray player, 
digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera. You can also connect it to a 
desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh system. You need only connect the projector to a source 
device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. 
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the 
projector and the Video source device as described below:
Preparations
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn off all equipment before making any connections. 
2. Use only the correct type cables for each source with proper type plugs. 
3. Ensure that all cable plugs are firmly fitted to the equipment jacks. 
Note that all cables shown in the following connection diagrams may not be supplied with the projector (See 
Shipping contents on page 6 for details). Most cables are commercially available from electronics stores.
Connecting HDMI devices
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between 
compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players, Blu-ray players and displays over a single cable. It 
provides pure digital viewing and listening experience. You should use an HDMI cable when making 
connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

							18 Connecting with video equipment  
Connecting component-video devices
Be sure to match the corresponding colors between the cables and the terminals. The RCA type 
component video jacks are provided for connection to video output devices. You should also connect the 
separate audio cable to a suitable audio amplifier.
Connecting S-Video or video devices
You need only connect S-Video or composite Video cable from the same device, never both at the same 
time. You should also connect the separate audio cable to a suitable audio amplifier.
•  If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and the video source 
device, you need not connect to this device again using an S-Video or composite Video connection as this 
makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. You need only connect using a 
composite Video connection if both Component Video and S-Video are not supplied on the video source 
device (for example, with some analog video cameras).
•  If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source 
has been selected, please check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also 
check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
