size of the screen and the lens type. Correct vertical position helps ensure that the
image will be rectangular in shape rather than keystoned (having non-parallel sides)
and that image focus and brightness both remain optimized.
In addition, vertical position of the image can be offset—that is, moved up or done—
either by turning the top knob on the front of the...

NOTES: 
1) If you cannot raise or
lower the image enough using
mechanical vertical offsets, try
adjusting 
V-Position in the 
Size
and Position menu (see 
3.6,
Adjusting the Image). 
2) If the
image becomes keystoned or
exhibits uneven brightness, the
projector may simply be too high
or low in relation to the screen. 
3) Recommended offset ranges can be exceeded,
however this may affect...

For typical front or rear floor mounts, mount the projector on a
secure table or cart. Take care with a mobile cart—avoid
sudden stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces that may
cause the projector and cart combination to overturn.
The table or cart should be reasonably level. Fine adjustments to the projector level
can be made by adjusting the height of the projector legs; refer to 2.7,...

In rear screen applications where space behind
the projector is limited, a mirror may be used
to fold the optical path. See right. The position
of the projector and mirror must be accurately
set—if considering this type of installation, call
your dealer for assistance.
The rear panel of the projector provides standard input panels to which you may
connect a variety of sources. See Figure 2.12–the lower left area (
,1387 ) typically
accepts an RGB...

,1387  provides 5 BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources, typically to
an RGB source such as VGA, SVGA, XGA, Mac, PowerMac, DEC, Sun, SGI and
others. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on-green,
composite sync, and separate H & V syncs.
NOTE: Depending on the source, you may need a custom adapter cable with BNC
connectors at the projector end and a different type of connector at the other (such as
a...

The video decoder input panel provides simultaneous connection of both a composite
video source (
,1387 ) and an S-Video source (,1387 ).
If connecting a composite video source, use the Composite BNC connector 
or the
RCA phono jack at 
,1387 –do not use both as inputs. See Figure 2.15.
NOTE: If you want to loop a composite signal through to another projector or
display device, see
