•The INPUT 2 (S-VIDEO) terminal uses a video
signal system in which the picture is sepa-
rated into color and luminance signals to re-
alize a higher-quality image. To view a higher-
quality image, use a commercially available
S-video cable to connect the INPUT 2 termi-
nal on the projector and the S-video output
terminal on the video equipment.

When the RS-232C terminal on the projector
is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub
RS-232C adaptor (sold separately) and an RS-
232C serial control cable (cross type, sold
separately), the computer can be used to con-
trol the projector and check the status of the
projector. See page 69 for details.

Lens center Lens center
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the
lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly
on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when
setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
•A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from
the screen according to the desired picture size.
(See page 57.)
•The distance from the screen
to the projector may vary
depending on the size of the
screen.P.57
•The default setting can be used,
when placing the projector in front
of the screen. If the projected im-
age is reversed, readjust the set-
ting to “Front” in the “PRJ Mode”
menu.
P.49
•Place the projector so that an
imaginary horizontal line that
passes through the center of the
lens is perpendicular to the
screen.
