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 and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in 
Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Projector Placement
Vertical and Horizontal 
Lens Shift
If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-2, you can use 
the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed 
as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in 
Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4.

Table 3-4 lists the lens shift limits for each available VX-22i lens, as percentages and 
absolute measurements with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen.  
Folded OpticsIn rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be 
used to fold the optical path, as shown in 
Figure 3-5. The position of the projector and 
mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your 
dealer for assistance.

Notes: 
1. With no vertical or horizontal lens shift, the lens center and screen center are aligned with each 
other.
2. Vertical shift limits are percentages of the screen height. Horizontal shift limits are percentages of 
the screen width.
3. Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount configurations. For floor installations 
(where the projector is upright), reverse the up/down vertical offset percentages.

Other ConsiderationsOther considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
 Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector 
away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause 
drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.
 Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as 
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, 
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

Installing the Primary 
Projection Lens 
The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. To install it, proceed as 
follows:
1. Loosen the captive Phillips screw at the 
top of the Projector Front Jewelry.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Remove the jewelry.

3. Remove the Lens Cavity Front Cover.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Remove the Rear Lens Cap.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5. Hold the lens assembly with the motor 
facing the upper-right corner of the 
Lens Cavity. Carefully insert the back 
of the lens assembly into the hole in the 
lens flange. 
 
 
DO NOT PUSH THE LENS ASSEMBLY 
ALL THE WAY IN. Only push the lens 
assembly in far enough so that the front 
of the lens motor is clearly behind the 
projector chassis cover.
6. Carefully rotate the lens assembly 45 
degrees clockwise until the motor 
socket connector is aligned with the 
connector on the flange. Then, gently 
push the lens assembly in until it is 
seated flush against the flange and the 
connectors have seated.

7. Lock the lens in place by turning the 
Lens Locking Nut (to the left of the lens) 
180 degrees counter-clockwise. (Use a 
6.0mm hex wrench.) 
 
 
 
 
 
8. Replace the Lens Cavity Front Cover.
9. Reattach the Projector Front Jewelry by sliding the top down onto the two retaining 
dowels. Tighten the Phillips screw at the top of the projector to secure it. 
10. Remove the Front Lens Cap. 
3.5 
Installing the Optional 
CineWide Lens Mount
If you are installing a standard (non-CineWide) VX-22i, skip this step and proceed with 
Mounting the VX-22i (page 27). 
If you are installing a VX-22i/CineWide, proceed with Installing the Fixed CineWide 
Base Plate (VX-22i/CineWide) (page 26). 
If you are installing a VX-22i/CineWide with AutoScope, proceed as follows to install the 
AutoScope lens motor. 
Make sure to route the wire harness in its original position and away 
from the moving lens stages and Motor Assembly, to prevent 
unexpected disconnection or lens damage. 
 
Caution
1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the fixed CineWide 
base plate or AutoScope lens motor. You will install the CineWide 
lens after you install the projector and adjust the primary lens. 
2. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly 
from what is shown in these instructions.

Install Ceiling Mount Adapters/Projector Stands: For ceiling installations, the 
adapters bring the attachment points for the projector mounting rails (included with the 
projector ceiling mount kit) from the bottom of the projector up and around the AutoScope 
lens motor housing. For floor installations (where the projector is upright), the adapters 
allow the projector to lie flat on the mounting surface.
Using six (6) each of the supplied, M6 x 12mm Pan-Head Phillips screws (item #2), attach 
the AutoScope Ceiling Mount Adapters/Projector Stands (items #3 and
 #4) to the 
projector as shown in 
Figure 3-7.

Install Lens Motor: Position the AutoScope Lens Motor (item #1) as shown in Figure 
3-8. Line up the mounting holes on the lens motor housing with those on the underside of 
the projector. Secure the motor to the projector with the six remaining M6 x 12mm 
Pan-Head Phillips screws (item
 #2).

Installing the Fixed 
CineWide Base Plate 
(VX-22i/CineWide)
To install the fixed CineWide base plate on a VX-22i/CineWide:
1. Place the projector upside down on a blanket or other soft surface. 
2. Line up the mounting holes on the lens mount base plate with those on the bottom of 
the projector, directly below the primary lens (see 
Figure 3-9). 
3. Secure the base plate to the projector with the screws provided for this purpose.
