Setting up your projector
Setting up the screen
Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the 
projection angle of the projector. (See page 11.)
•	 Install	the	screen	and	projector	so	that	the	projector’s	lens	is	placed	at	the	same	height	and	horizontal	position	of	
the screen center. 
•	 Do	not	install	the	screen	where	it	is	exposed	to	direct	sunlight	or	lighting.	Light	directly	reflecting	on	the	screen	
makes the projected images whitish and hard to view. 
Screen size and projection distance 
Refer to the following table to determine the screen size and projection distance.
•	 For	the	aspect	ratio	setting,	see	page	19.
•	 The	figures	in	the	tables	are	approximate	and	may	be	slightly	different	from	the	actual	measurements.
•	 The	lens	shift	height	and	width	show	distances	from	the	factory	default	position.
