1 Unpack the projector
	 You	 should	have	the	following	 items:
 Canada only: For French speakers, remove sticker(s) from the interface 
label backing sheet and place over corresponding text on the control 
panel. 
2 Choose a location
	 The	 easiest	 way	to	set	 up	your	 projector	 is	to	 place	 it	on	 a	table	 in	front	 of	
your	screen	 or	wall,	 or	on	 a	high	 shelf	 behind	 you.	See	the	User’s Guide	for	
other	 ways	of	setting	 up	the	 projector.
	Table  Shelf
	 The	distance	 between	 the	projector	 and	the	screen	 generally	 determines	 the	
size	of	the	 image,	 but	the	size	 can	also	 vary	 depending	 on	the	 aspect	 ratio	
(image	shape),	 how	you	zoom	 into	the	image,	 and	whether	 you’ve	adjusted	
other	image	 settings.	 Depending	 on	the	 image	 settings	 you’ve	chosen,	 you	
can	place	 the	projector	 anywhere	 from	33	to	407	 inches	 (84	to	1035	 cm)	
from	the	screen.
