Positioning the Projector
Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to place it. 
The location you choose depends on the size of the room and what 
you are projecting.

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, approximately 
3.6 to 48 feet from the screen.

Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and 
under the projector.

Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical 
outlet or extension cord, and within 5 feet of...

Keystone button as described in the next 
chapter. 
If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen, the 
image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the 
projector higher than the bottom of the...

Audio (Computer1) 
jack on the projector.
