Displaying and Adjusting 
the Image
Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment, 
you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the 
screen. 
Follow the guidelines in this chapter for: 
■Positioning the projector
■Turning the projector on and selecting the image source
■Troubleshooting display problems
■Adjusting the image
■Turning off the projector

Positioning the Projector 
If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll 
probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen, as shown.  
This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and 
remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to 
leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to 
get a good-size image. 
Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image...

Displaying and Adjusting the Image17
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of 
the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens 
should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.  
If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by 
extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become 
“keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the 
buttons on the projector. See page23 for...

18Displaying and Adjusting the ImageFollow these steps to turn on the projector: 
1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover). 
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other 
end into an electrical outlet.

Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is 
ready for use.  
4. If you’ve connected a Windows-based computer to the projector, 
you may see a New Hardware Wizard screen saying your
