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. 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 figures below to help you determine placement. (The image...

Displaying and Adjusting the Image15
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...

of time. This conserves 
electricity, cools...
