m. (The results below differ slightly from the actual measurements.)
If the projection size is SD,
For 4:3 aspect ratio For 16:9 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH) = SD (

Screen width (SW) = SD (

Throw distance (L) = 0.0107 × SD (

NOTE:
For best projection image quality, install a screen where sunlight or room lightings do not 
• 
shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block\
 the light and 
turn off the lightings.
Do not use the projector at a raised or horizontally tilted position. It\
 may cause the 
• 
projector to malfunction.
However, you can tilt the projector’s body approximately ±30 ° vertically and ±10 ° 
horizontally.
Over tilting may result in shortening the component’s life.
Do not cover the air outlet port and air intake ports or place anything \
within 50 cm (20") near them as this may cause damage 
• 
or injury.
