The following pictures show three different setups:
To project onto a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth surface. When you find a 
suitable wall for projection, you may want to consider coating the area with projection paint 
to enhance...

Unpacking and Setting Up19
Your projector should be directly in front of the screen or 
wall, facing straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the 
surface).

and tilting the projector up. This causes the image to lose its 
rectangular shape, but the projector will correct it 
automatically. If necessary, you can adjust the shape using 
the keystone buttons on the remote control or the Visual 
Setup menu. See page 26 for instructions.
