Selecting a Location (LV-7365/LV-7265)
The  further  your  projector  is  from  the  screen  or  wall,  the  larger  the  image.  The  minimum  size  the  image  can  be 
is  approximately  25"  measured  diagonally  when  the  projector  is  roughly  1.1  m  (3.5’)  from  the  wall  or  screen.  The 
largest the image can be is 300" when the projector is about 8.4 m (27.6’) from the wall or screen. Use the drawing 
below as a guide.

2. Installation and Connections
Selecting a Location (LV-7260/LV-X7)
The  further  your  projector  is  from  the  screen  or  wall,  the  larger  the  image.  The  minimum  size  the  image  can  be 
is  approximately  25"  measured  diagonally  when  the  projector  is  roughly  1.1  m  (3.6’)  from  the  wall  or  screen.  The 
largest the image can be is 300" when the projector is about 8.8 m (28.9’) from the wall or screen. Use the draw-
ing below as a guide.
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 50.
• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. LV-CL11) are required.
TIP:
• For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table on page 
69, 70.
•  The  sizes  in  the  above  table  have  been    obtained  assuming  that  the  aspect  ratio  is  4:3.  They  may  vary  from  the  actual  sizes 
depending on the type of the projected image.
•  The Zoom lever adjusts the image size (diagonal) +/- 30%.

2. Installation and Connections
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.
Reflecting 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 SELECT  buttons on your projec-
tor cabinet or your remote control to correct the orien-
tation. See page 50.

2. Installation and Connections
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

NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.
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:  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.

2. Installation and Connections
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal (LV-7365/LV-7265)
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI digital 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  digital  cable  while  the  projector  is  running.  If  the  signal  cable  has  been  disconnected 
and then reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use  a  DVI  digital  cable  or  the  one  compliant  with  DDWG  (Digital  Display  Working  Group)  DVI  (Digital  Visual  Interface)  revi
-
sion 1.0 standard. The DVI digital cable should be within 5 m (196") long. Both single and dual types of DVI digital cable can 
be used.
•  The  DVI  (DIGITAL)  connector  accepts  VGA  (640x480),  SVGA  (800x600),  1152x864,  XGA  (1024x768),  SXGA  (1280x1024  @  up 
to 60Hz) and SXGA+ (1400x1050 @ up to 60Hz).
