Setting up the projector
Positioning the projector
The following tables show you where to position the projector in relation to the screen.
TIP:For best picture quality, place the projector 1.5 to 5 m (5 to 16 ft) from the screen 
						

							Setting Up 14
If you do not want to use the distance table, you can use the following equations to help 
determine where to install the projector relative to the screen. Image size relative to distance from the screen
Image size (diagonal) Image size (width) Distance (lens to screen)
(inches) (meters) (inches) (meters) (feet, inches) (meters)
40 1.0 32 0.8 5 4 to 6 2 1.6 to 1.9
60 1.5 48 1.2 8 0 to 9 2 2.4 to 2.8
80 2.0 64 1.6 10 8 to 12 3 3.3 to 3.7
100 2.5 80 2.0 13 4 to 15 4 4.1 to 4.7
120 3.0 96 2.4 16 0 to 18 5 4.9 to 5.6
150 3.8 120 3.0 20 0 to 23 0 6.1 to 7.0
180 4.6 144 3.7 24 0 to 27 7 7.3 to 8.4
200 5.1 160 4.1 26 8 to 30 8 8.1 to 9.3
240 6.1 192 4.9 32 0 to 33 0 9.8 to 10.0
Calculating projection distances
distance from lens to screen = A × width of screen
minimum and maximum distance from screen = B
width of screen = 0.8 × diagonal of screen (for 3:4 screen)
projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen)
A  =  2.0  to  2.3
B = 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft)
C = 0.11 to 0.50

1.Place the projector on a stable platform located 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) in front of the 
screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen.
2.Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector 
1 and the other end to a 
grounded electrical outlet 
2.
