Operation E-10 Setting Up the Projector (Standard Setup) Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level. ¥ Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting the screen in a sunny or bright room. Example of a standard setup Top ViewSide View 90˚ Lens center Lens center The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen.If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult. ¥ For information on projector distance and picture size, see page 23. ¥ For reversed image and ceiling-mount setups, see page 24. ¥ A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector. 90˚ Adjusting the Height of the Picture You can adjust the height of the picture by raising the projector with the adjuster release. a. Extending the adjuster leg Press the adjuster release and lift the projector to the desired angle. b. Locking the adjuster leg in position Remove your hand from the adjuster release, and then release the projector once you are sure the adjuster leg has locked in position. Returning the projector to its original position While holding the projector, press the adjuster release and slowly lower the projector to its original position. ¥ The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5¡ from the horizontal. ¥ When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted, depending on the relative positions of the pro- jector and the screen. CAUTION ¥ Do not press the adjuster release when the adjuster leg is extended without firmly holding the projector. ¥ Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector. ¥ When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjuster leg and the projector. a Adjuster release b Adjuster release XG-NV4SU (E)-b98.10.19, 5:34 PM 10
