When using a zoom lens, exact positioning of the projector is not required as the
image size can be adjusted. However, the projector must be located within the
Throw Distance range imposed by the minimum and maximum lens throw ratios.
To calculate the distance required between the screen and the projector select your
lens type and screen size from the table below.

							For screen sizes between 40Ó and 500Ó not included in the previous table use the
formula and table below to calculate the throw distance:
Projector Throw Distance = Screen Width (H) x Lens Magnification
Lens Magnification Screen Width Range
LA00236 1.0 0.8m (2.7ft) to 6.1m (20.0ft)
LA00235 1.3 - 1.6 1.1m (3.5ft) to 9.8m (32.0ft).
LA00232 1.9 - 2.4 1.5m (4.8ft) to 14.6m (48.0ft).
LA00237 3.4 - 5.2 5.5m (18.1ft) to 52.8m (173.2ft).
LENS SHIFT
The default height for positioning the projector is at the centre of your screen.
However, you can set the projector above or below the centre and adjust the image
using the ÔLens ShiftÕ facility to centre the image on the screen. The maximum 
vertical lens shift range for the LA00232 and LA00237 lenses is 50% of the 
projected image height and the maximum range for the LA00235 lens is 43%.
The Lens Shift facility is not available on the LA00236 fixed lens.

							As with vertical positioning, the default horizontal position of the projector is at the
centre of the screen. However, the projector can be mounted to the left or right of
image centre and the ÔLens ShiftÕ function used to centre the image on screen. The
maximum horizontal lens shift range is 25% of the projected image width.
If the lens is shifted both horizontally and vertically, the maximum range in either
direction is reduced due to the rounded off area near the edge of the lens (see below).

							Attaching the Lens Hood Cap
To attach the lens hood cap to the projector, thread the string through the hole on
the lens hood cap then use the rivet provided to attach the string to the bottom of the
projector.
Lens Installation
Before installing a lens first determine the optional lens required to obtain the
desired projection distance (see pages BÐ4 to BÐ6).
Do not attempt to install a lens if the projector is turned on. If the projector is 
operating, turn off the power and wait for the cooling fan to stop. Next turn off the
main power switch on the rear panel and wait for the projector to cool off.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Remove the lens hood cap and lens hood from the projector.
1. Press and hold the catches on both ends of the lens hood.
2. Pull the lens hood forward to remove it.
3. Loosen the four screws on the lens hood using the hexagonal driver (the 
screws do not detach from the lens hood).
4. Remove the lens hood.

Turning On and Off the Projector
Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source is
turned on and that your lens cap is removed.
Connect the power supply cable to the projector and plug it into the mains outlet on
the wall. The projector will go instantly into standby mode and the power indicator
will glow orange.
To turn on the projector, press the ON/STANDBY button on the remote control or
the POWER ON button on the remote control. The power indicator on the projector
will turn green and the projector is ready for use.
After turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This will disappear when
the lamp stabilises (approx. 3-5 minutes).
To have the projector immediately start by plugging in the power cable, use the
menu and enable the ÔAuto StartÕ feature.
To turn off the projector, press the the Power (ON/STANDBY) button on the 
projector or press the POWER OFF button on the remote control for a minimum of
2 seconds. The Power indicator will turn to orange and the projector will turn off. 
The cooling fans will remain running for one minute after the projector has been
turned off. Do not disconnect the power cable until the fans have stopped operating.
Startup Screen
When you first turn on the projector you will be presented with the ÔStartup ScreenÕ.
This screen enables you to select which language you want to have the menu system
displayed in. The available options are: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Swedish and Japanese.

							To select a menu language, use the cursor keys to highlight the desired choice and
press ENTER. The Basic/Custom menu will be displayed in the language you have
selected. After the first time you select the language you can proceed directly to this
menu the next time you turn the projector on. The language menu choice can be
changed later if required.
Basic/Custom Menu
The Basic/Custom Menu provides access to all the submenus used to control and
configure the projector. Options available from this menu comprise: Source Select,
Picture, Volume, Image Options, Projector Options, Tools, Help Test Pattern and
To Advanced Menu.
Setting Up the Projector
Once the projector has been turned on and you have selected the required language,
the type of projection you intend to use needs to be defined. The choices are 
selected from an flyout list under ÔOrientationÕ in the Projector Options/Setup/Page
1 screen. Available choices include Desktop Front, Ceiling Rear, Desktop Rear and
Ceiling Front.
Once you have selected the Orientation required for your installation, the image
configuration needs to be tested using the test pattern. The test pattern is accessed
by pressing the TEST button on the remote control or by selecting TEST 
PATTERN from the menu system. With the test pattern displayed, the image size
and position can be adjusted by holding CTL and pressing the POSITION button to
show the LENS SHIFT adjustment screen. The image can then be moved using the
SELECT button on the remote control or the LENS SHIFT button on the projector.
Once the required changes have been made to the image position you can exit the
screen by pressing the CANCEL button.
To adjust the size of the displayed image, hold down the CTL button on the remote
control and press the ZOOM + or - button. The image size can also be adjusted
using the ZOOM + or - buttons on the projector.

image (or using Keystone correction for more accurate adjustment). The projector
feet can also be adjusted to raise or lower an individual corner of the projector up to
20mm or at angles of 3.5 degrees.
