Install Ceiling Mount Adapters/Projector Stands: For ceiling installations, these 
brackets bring the mounting points for the projector mounting plate (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 the four (4), supplied M6 x 12mm Flat-Head Phillips screws (item #6), attach the 
AutoScope Ceiling Mount Adapters/Projector Stands (items #4 and
 #5) to the projector as 
shown in 
Figure 3-8.

3.6 
Mounting the VX-3000
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen 
installation, one method may be more suitable than another. 
Floor Mounting (Upright)In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and 
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a 
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent 
it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting 
(Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited 
space for projector and audience, you can invert the VX-3000 and suspend it from the 
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture. 
 
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the 
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the 
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber 
crutch tips or turntable feet). 
Adjusting the Projector 
Height or Projection Angle
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the 
projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling 
mount. 
For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable 
feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust 
the projector height and/or projection angle. 
If you do this, you may need to make keystone 
adjustments or vertically shift the image using 
the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to 
compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to 
Using the On-Screen Menus on page 54.
3.7 
Connections to the 
VX-3000
Proceed as follows to connect the VX-3000 to your video sources, external controller(s) – 
if present – and AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the correct signal cables for each source.
• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on 
connectors that have them.
Connector Panel AccessTo access the connector panel, pull 
firmly on the cable access cover to 
open it.

➤
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your 
projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions 
provided with it. Note
