2. INSTALLATION
This section describes how to set up your MultiSync LT156/LT155/LT154 projector and how to connect video and audio sources.
Setting up Your Projector
Your MultiSync LT156/LT155/LT154 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size.
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you can project your image.
Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected before moving the projector.
When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.
Selecting a Location
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 25 (0.6 m)
measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 3.7 feet (1.1 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300 (7.6 m) when the
projector is about 40.1 feet (12.2 m) from the wall or screen.
Screen and Projection Distance
The following shows the proper relative positions of the projector and screen. Refer to the table to determine the position of installation.

WARNING
•Installing your projector on the ceiling must be
done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC
dealer for more information.
*Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
•Only use your projector on a solid, level surface.
If the projector falls to the ground, you can be in-
jured and the projector severely damaged.
•Do not use the projector where temperatures vary
greatly. The projector must be used at tempera-
tures between 32˚F (0˚C) and 95˚F (35˚C).
•Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or
smoke. This will harm the screen image.
•Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around
your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover
the vents on the side or the front of the projector.
If your projector is mounted on the ceiling and your image is upside down, use the “Menu” and “Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or ▲▼
button on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-37.)
Reflecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image enables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror. If you’re
using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the “Menu” and “Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or ▲▼ buttons on your remote control to
correct the orientation. (See page E-37.)
