Installation LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual 19 PREL IMINARY 3.1 Remote ControlTo install batteries in the remote control: 1. Press down the tab on the cover and pull the cover in the direction of the arrow. 2. Insert the included batteries. Ensure that the polarities correctly match the and markings inside the battery compartment. 3. Insert the lower tab of the cover into the opening, and press down the cover until it clicks in place. Notes on Batteries Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries. Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as from sunshine, fire or the like. Notes on Remote Control Operation Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the Dimension Digital Controller. If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting. Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the Dimension Digital Controller, and repeat the operation. 3. Installation Installation must be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist.Note

Installation LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual 21 PREL IMINARY 3.3 Installation ConsiderationsProper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Pre-Wiring for 3D: Run Dual HDMI Cables It is a common practice in custom audio/video installations to conceal cables by running them through walls. If you plan to do this with your LS-12HBd installation, you will need to run three cables from the projector to the other projection system components: two (2) HDMI cables and a serial control cable (typically Category 5 or 4-wire telephone cable). Installation Type Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Ambient Light In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. Table 3-2.

Installation 22 LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual PREL IMINARY Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. Figure 3-1. Estimating Throw Distance➤ Estimating Throw Distance Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio TD Screen width (w)
Installation LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual 23 PREL IMINARY Table 3-3 lists the available lens options for the LS-12HBd and their associated throw ratios. Vertical and Horizontal Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2. Table 3-3.

Due to normal manufacturing variances, throw distance can vary by up to +/- 5 percent from these specifications. 2. Only the Proteus 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 lenses can be used with the optional anamorphic lens. Doing so affects the throw distances as shown here.
