Positioning the Projector
63
To get the best results when projecting your images, it’s important to 
position the projector at the proper height and distance relative to the 
screen.
When projecting from a table or desk, place the projector so the lens is 
aligned as closely as possible with the bottom of your screen:

When projecting from the ceiling, align the lens as closely as possible 
with the top of your screen:
Using the Keystone Feature
In circumstances where the lens cannot be properly aligned, use the 
projector’s Keystone function to help maintain optimum screen 
geometry. This feature allows you to correct up to a 
± 20° tilt, 
maintaining an aspect ratio of 4:3. Press the Keystone button on the 
control panel to increase or decrease the image adjustment. Using the...

Calculating Image Size and Projection Distance
The distance between the projector and the screen determines the 
actual image size. To determine the exact distance required for a 
particular image size (or to determine the size of an image at a 
particular distance), use the formulas given below. (Remember that 
the size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring; see 
page 68 for more information.)
To determine the minimum and maximum diagonal size of an image...

For example, here are the measurements for three installations:
* For an image size of 300 inches, the projector may be up to 54 feet away from 
the screen, depending on the setting of the zoom ring.
Long Throw Zoom Lens Calculations
If you are using the optional long throw zoom lens, use the following 
formulas instead:

Focusing and Positioning the Screen Image
When an image appears on screen, check that it is in focus and 
correctly positioned on the screen. To focus the image, rotate the focus 
ring (the inside ring on the lens). To adjust the size of the image, rotate 
the zoom ring (the outside ring). Rotate the zoom ring clockwise to 
make the screen image larger or counterclockwise to make it smaller.

If you need to raise or lower the image on the screen, extend or retract 
the two feet at the bottom of the projector as follows:
1. Stand behind the projector and support the front of it while you 
lift up on the foot adjust levers, located above the feet. This 
unlocks the adjustable feet so they can move up and down. Don’t 
let the projector drop.
Caution: Don’t hold or lift the projector by its lens. This can damage 
the lens.
2. While lifting the levers,...

Resizing the Projected Image 
The Resize button lets you select the projection method for certain 
types of image signals input from a computer. Press the Resize button 
on the control panel or the remote control to select one of the 
following projection methods for your projector.

With images less than SVGA (800 
× 600), you can either display the 
image in the center of the projection area or display it full size.

Sleep Mode
Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp 
after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode, 
the projector’s power status indicator is orange and only a minimum 
amount of the projector’s circuitry remains on. This conserves 
electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. When 
the projector is in sleep mode, you can press the Power button to start 
projecting images, or you can unplug the projector’s power...
