							Positioning the projector 
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your 
screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector 
and the rest of your equipment. Following are some general guidelines: 
v   
 Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The 
projector must be at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) from the projection screen. 
v 
 
 Position the projector within 2.7 m (9 ft) of your power source and within 1.8 m 
(6 ft) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure 
adequate cable access, do not place the projector within .15 m (6 in.) of a wall or 
other object. 
v 
 
 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the 
lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format 
determine the size of the projected image.
