Installation
Installation	Precautions
•	Place the projector in a well-ventilated environment. -To prevent internal overheating, install the projector in a well-ventilated place.  Do not place anything near the projector. That may block its air vents. If the air vents are blocked, the internal temperature of the projector will increase.
 -Do not place the projector on a carpet or rug. If the projector's inlet vent is on the bottom, be careful not to block the vent and always use the projector on a solid, level surface.
 -Be sure to prevent foreign objects such as paper debris from entering the projector.
 -Leave an adequate open area (30 cm or more) around the projector.
•	Do not install the projector in a hot or humid environment. -Only install the projector in a place of moderate temperature and low humidity.
•	Do not install the projector in a place where it can attract dust. -There is a risk of fire.
•	Never open any cover on the projector. There is a high risk of electric shock.
•	This projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black dots and/or bright colored dots that continuously appear on the projector screen. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.
•	The remote control may not work in an environment where a lamp equipped with electronic ballasts or a three-wavelength fluorescent lamp is installed. Replace the lamp with an international standard lamp for the remote control to work normally.

Projection	Distance	per	Screen	Size
1 Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, together with the computer or audio/video source.
2 Place the projector an appropriate distance away from the screen.  The distance between the projector and the screen determines the actual size of the image.
3 Position the projector so that the lens is at a right angle to the scree\
n. If the lens is not perpendicular to the screen, the projected image will\
 appear distorted. To correct the distortion, use the Keystone function. (See page 36)
4 Connect the power cords of the projector and the connected devices to the wall outlet.

USING	THE	PROJECTOR
Connecting	the	Antenna	or	Cable
To watch TV using an indoor/outdoor antenna, connect a wall terminal and\
 the ANTENNA	IN port of the projector using an RF cable (75 Ω).
You can watch public TV or cable (analog, digital) TV. (The RF cable \
is sold separately.)
ANTENNA IN

•	Make sure not to bend the copper wire of 
the RF cable (75 Ω). Turn the input jack to 
the right to fasten it.
•	 Ensure you use a standard coaxial cable 
(75 Ω, sold separately) when connecting to 
the projector input.
•	 For better image quality in locations where 
signal strength is low, purchase and install a 
signal amplifier (booster).
•	 A signal splitter is required if you want to use two or more 
projectors through one antenna.
•	 If you have any problems when installing the antenna, please 
consult a suitable retailer or the store where you purchased the 
antenna.
