❶ Throw distance and screen size
Six	separate	 bayonet	style	lenses	 can	be	used	 on	this	 projector. 	Refer	 to	the	 information	 on	this	 page	 and	use	a	lens	
suited	 for	the	 installation	 environment	 (screen	size	and	throw	 distance). 	For	 instructions	 on	mounting	 the	lens,	 see	
page	167.
Each	number	provided	in	the	table	below	means	the	throw	distance	between	the	lens	surface	and	the	screen.

TIP
•	 Calculation	of	the	throw	distance	from	the	screen	size
	 NP25FL	lens	throw	distance	(m)	=	H	×	0.67	:	1.1	m	(min.)	to	3.2	m	(max.)	
	 NP26ZL	lens	throw	distance	(m)	=	H	×	1.35	to	H	×	1.84	:	2.8	m	(min.)	to	24.0	m	(max.)	
	 NP27ZL	lens	throw	distance	(m)	=	H	×	1.84	to	H	×	2.54	:	4.0	m	(min.)	to	24.0	m	(max.)	
	 NP28ZL	lens	throw	distance	(m)	=	H	×	2.62	to	H	×	4.20	:	9.0	m	(min.)	to	45.0	m	(max.)	
	 NP29ZL	lens	throw	distance	(m)	=	H	×	4.21	to	H	×	6.96	:	12.0	m	(min.)	to	80.0	m	(max.)	
	 NP32ZL	lens	throw	distance	(m)	=	H	×	0.9	to	H	×	1.1	:	1.33	m	(min.)	to	14.35	m	(max.)	
	 “H”	(Horizontal)	refers	to	the	screen	width.
	 *	Figures	differ	by	several	%	with	the	table	above	because	the	calculation	is	approximate.
	 Ex.:	Throw	distance	when	projecting	on	a	150"	screen	using	the	NP27ZL	lens:
	 According	to	the	“Screen	Size	(for	reference)”	table	(→ page 221),	H	(screen	width)	=	323.1	cm.
	 The	throw	distance	is	323.1	cm	×	1.7	to	323.1	cm	×	2.3	=	549.3	cm	to	743.13	cm	(because	of	the	zoom	lens).
•	 Using	the	NP28ZL	 lens	will	slightly	 change	the	image	 size.	When	 using	the	NP28ZL	 lens	to	adjust	 the	image	 size,	adjust	 the	focus	
and then the zoom.

Lens shifting range
This	projector	 is	equipped	 with	a	lens	 shift	function	 for	adjusting	 the	position	 of	the	 projected	 image	by	using	 the	LENS	
SHIFT	▼▲◀▶	buttons. 	The	lens	can	be	shifted	within	the	range	shown	below.
Description 	of 	symbols: 	V 	indicates 	vertical 	(height 	of 	the 	projected 	image), 	H 	indicates 	horizontal 	(width 	of 	the	
projected	image).
NOTE:	The	lens	shift	function	cannot	be	used	when	the	NP25FL	lens	is	used.

(when	the	lens	is	at	the	center	position). 	For	a	ceiling/front	installation,	the	above	figures	are	inverted.

❷ Mounting the Optional Board (sold separately)
CAUTION
Before	mounting	 or	removing	 the	optional	 board,	be	sure	 to	turn	 off	the	 projector,	 wait	for	the	 fans	 to	stop	 and	turn	
off	the	main	power	switch.
Tool	needed: 	Phillips	screwdriver	(plus-head)
The	SB-01HC	board	is	used	as	an	example.
1.	 Turn	off	the	main	power	switch	of	the	projector.
2.	 Loosen	the	two	screws	on	the	slot	cover	of	the	terminal	panel.
 Remove the two screws and the slot cover.
NOTE:	Keep	the	two	screws	and	the	slot	cover.
3. Insert the optional board into the slot.
	 Make	sure	that	the	board	is	inserted	into	the	slot	in	the	correct	orientation.
	 Incorrect	orientation	may	cause	miscommunication	between	the	optional	board	and	projector. 
						

							224
9. Appendix
4.	 Tighten	the	two	screws	on	both	sides	of	the	slot.
•	 Be	sure	to	tighten	the	screws.
	 This	will	complete	installation	of	the	optional	board.
	 Refer	to	the	user’s	manual	included	with	the	board	for	source	selection.
NOTE:
•	 Mounting	the	optional	 board	may	cause	 the	fans	 to	run	 in	the	 standby	 mode	for	the	 purpose	 of	cooling	 depending	 on	the	 optional	
board.	 The	fan	speed	 may	also	increase	 in	order	 to	cool	 the	projector	 properly.	Both	of	these	 instances	 are	considered	 normal	
and not a malfunction of the projector.
