VX-3000 Installation/Operation Manual 13 PREL IMINARY 3.1 Remote Control To install batteries in the remote control, push the battery cover and slide it off. Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover. 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. 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 projector. • 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 projector, and repeat the operation. 3. Installation Downloaded From projector-manual.com Runco Manuals

Installation VX-3000 Installation/Operation Manual 15 PREL IMINARY 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper 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. Installation TypeChoose 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 LightIn 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. Projector Installation Options AdvantagesConsiderations Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation • Easy to set up • Can be moved or changed quickly • Easy to access • Shares floor space with audience Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation • Does not take up audience space • Projector is unobtrusive • Projector cannot be accidentally moved • Installation is more permanent • Projector access is more difficult Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation • Projector is completely hidden • Projector is easily accessed • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation • Projector is completely hidden • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror • Projector is completely hidden • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires less space behind screen than other rear screen installations • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Downloaded From projector-manual.com Runco Manuals
Installation 16 VX-3000 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 Table 3-3 gives the throw ratios for the VX-3000. ➤ Table 3-3.
