Setting Up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat
and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality.
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 projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according t\
o the desired picture size. (For
details, refer to “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)
