Selecting a Location (LV-8300)
The  further  your  projector  is  from  the  screen  or  wall,  the  larger  the  image.  The  minimum  size  the  image  can  be 
is  approximately  21"  measured  diagonally  when  the  projector  is  roughly  0.7  m  (2.3')  from  the  wall  or  screen.  The 
largest the image can be is 300" when the projector is about 10.7 m (35.0') from the wall or screen. Use the draw-
ing below as a guide.
Optional axis when image is projected 
at right angle to the screen.
Throw Distance and Screen Size
Screen
H1  and  H2:  H1  is  the  height  of  the  screen  from  the  intersection  of  optical  axis  and  screen  surface,  and  H2  is  the 
height of the intersection when an image is projected at right angle to the screen.
TIP:
•
  For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table on page 
80, 81.
•
 
The  sizes  in  the  above  table  have  been  obtained  assuming  that  the  aspect  ratio  is  16:9.  They  may  vary  from  the  actual  sizes 
depending on the type of the projected image.
•
 
The Zoom lever adjusts the image size (diagonal) +/- 30%. 
NOTE:
This projector can be hung from the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side down.
When a translucent screen is used, the projector can project an image from behind the screen (Rear).
When the projector is hung from the ceiling or projector projects an image from behind the screen, the image must be inverted 
vertically or horizontally. See page 60.
• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. LV-CL15) are required.

WARNING
•
  Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done 
by  a  qualified  technician.  Contact  your  dealer  for 
more information.
•
 
Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
•
 
Only  use  your  projector  on  a  solid,  level  surface.  If 
the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured 
and the projector severely damaged.
•
 
Do  not  use  the  projector  where  temperatures  vary 
greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures 
between  41˚F  (5˚C)  and  104˚F  (40˚C).  (Quiet  mode 
selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°
C).
•
 
Do  not  expose  the  projector  to  moisture,  dust,  or 
smoke. This will harm the screen image.
•
 
Ensure  that  you  have  adequate  ventilation  around 
your  projector  so  heat  can  dissipate.  Do  not  cover 
the vents on the side or the front of the projector. Reflect  ng the Image
Using  a  mirror  to  reflect  your  projector's  image  en-
ables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your 
dealer  if  you  need  a  mirror  system.  If  you're  using  a 
mirror  system  and  your  image  is  inver ted,  use  the 
MENU and  buttons on your projector cabinet 
or  your  remote  control  to  correct  the  orientation.  See 
page 60.

❷ Making Connections
NOTE:  When  using  with  a  notebook  PC,  be  sure  to  connect  the  projector  and  notebook  PC  while  the  projector  is  in  standby 
mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered 
up.
*
  If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power man
-
agement software.
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually,  the  combination  of  the  ‘Fn”  key  along  with  one  of  the  12  function  keys  gets  the  external  display  to  come 
on or off. For more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.

NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.
NOTE:  An  image  may  not  be  displayed  correctly  when  a  Video  or  S-Video  source  is  played  back  via  a  commercially  available 
scan converter. 
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
*
  When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO PC button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI cable (not supplied) before 
turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select Computer 2 (Digital) from the source menu 
before turning on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. 
Should this happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then 
re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE: 
•
  Use a DVI cable or the one compliant with the DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 
standard. The DVI cable should be within 5 m (196) long. Both single and dual types of DVI cable can be used.
•
 
The  DVI  (DIGITAL)  connector  accepts  VGA  (640x480),  SVGA  (800x600),  1152x864,  XGA  (1024x768),  WXGA  (1280x800  @  up 
to 60Hz), and SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz).

Connecting an External Monitor
MONITOR OUT
You can connect a separate, external monitor to your projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the RGB ana-
log image you're projecting.
NOTE: Daisy chain connection is not possible.
NOTE:
•
  The signal from the DIGITAL IN/ANALOG IN-2 connector cannot be output from the MONITOR OUT connector.
•
  When audio equipment is connected, the projector speaker is disabled.
•
  Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.

TIP: For users of audio video equipment with an HDMI connector: 
Select “Enhanced” rather than “Normal” if HDMI output is switchable between “Enhanced” and “Normal”.
This will provide improved image contrast and more detailed dark areas.
For more information on settings, refer to the instruction manual of the audio video equipment to be connected.
