Replacing  the  remote  control  batteries
If  delays  in  the  responsiveness  of  the  remote  control  occur  or  if  it  does  not
operate  after  it  has  been  used  for  some  time,  it  probably  means  that  the
batteries  are  becoming  flat.  When  this  happens,  replace  them  with  new
batteries.  Have  two  AA  size  manganese  or  alkaline  batteries  ready.  You
cannot  use  other  batteries  except  for  the  AA  size  manganese  or  alkaline.AttentionMake  sure  you  read  the  following  manual  before  handling  the  batteries.

							Preparing  the  Projector
This  chapter  explains  how  to  install  the  projector  and  connect  projection  sources. 
						

							Installation  Methods
The  projector  supports  the  following  four  different  projection  methods.
Install  the  projector  according  to  the  conditions  of  the  installation  location.
•Project  images  from  in  front  of
the  screen.  (Front  projection)
•Project  images  from  behind  a  
translucent  screen.  (Rear  projec-
tion)
•Suspend  the  projector  from  the
ceiling  and  project  images  from
in  front  of  a  screen.  (Front/Ceil-
ing  projection)
•Suspend  the  projector  from  the
ceiling  and  project  images  from
behind  a  translucent  screen.
(Rear/Ceiling  projection)
 Warning
•A  special  method  of  installation  is  required  when  suspending  the  projector
from  a  ceiling  (ceiling  mount).  If  it  is  not  installed  correctly,  it  could  fall
causing  an  accident  and  injury.
•If  you  use  adhesives  on  the  Ceiling  mount  fixing  points  to  prevent  the  screws
from  loosening,  or  if  you  use  things  such  as  lubricants  or  oils  on  the
projector,  the  projector  case  may  crack  causing  it  to  fall  from  its  ceiling
mount.  This  could  cause  serious  injury  to  anyone  under  the  ceiling  mount
and  could  damage  the  projector.
When  installing  or  adjusting  the  ceiling  mount,  do  not  use  adhesives  to
prevent  the  screws  from  loosening  and  do  not  use  oils  or  lubricants  and  so
on.Attention•Do not use the projector on its side. This  may  cause  malfunctions  to  occur.
•Do  not  cover  the  projector's  air  intake  vent  or  air  exhaust  vent.  If  either  of
the  vents  are  covered,  the  internal  temperature  could  rise  and  cause  a  fire.a
•An  optional  Ceiling  mount  is  required  when  suspending  the
projector  from  a  ceiling.
s "Optional  Accessories"  p.118
•You  can  change  the  setting  as  follows  by  pressing  down  the  [A/V
Mute]  button  on  the  remote  control  for  about  five  seconds.

Set  Rear or  Rear/Ceiling from  the  Configuration  menu.
s Extended - Projection p.81
Installation  methods
Install  the  projector  as  follows.
Installing the Projector
19 
						

							•Install  the  projector  so  that  it  is  parallel  to  the  screen.
If  the  projector  is  installed  at  an  angle  to  the  screen,  keystone  distortion
occurs  in  the  projected  image.
•Place  the  projector  on  a  level  surface.
If  the  projector  is  tilted  the  projected  image  is  also  tilted.a
•See  the  following  if  you  cannot  install  the  projector  parallel  to  the
screen.
s "Correcting  Keystone  Distortion"  p.36
•See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level
surface.
s "Adjusting  the  Horizontal  Tilt"  p.39
Screen  Size  and  Approximate  Projection  Distance
Projection  size  is  determined  by  the  distance  from  the  projector  to  the
screen.  See  the  illustrations  on  the  right  to  select  the  best  position  according
to  the  screen  size.  The  illustrations  show  the  approximate  shortest  distance
at  maximum  zoom.  See  the  following  for  more  information  on  the
projection  distance.s
 "Screen  Size  and  Projection  Distance"  p.119
a
When  you  correct  keystone  distortion,  the  projected  image  may  be
reduced.
