Setup
Foot releases
Adjustment feet
Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted
using the adjustment feet when the projector
is placed on an uneven surface or when the
screen is slanted.
The position of the projected image can be
made higher by adjusting the projector when
it is in a location lower than the screen.
1Press the foot releases and lift
the projector to the desired
angle.
2Remove your hands from the
foot releases. Once the adjust-
ment feet have locked in posi-
tion, release the projector.
•If the screen is at an angle, the ad-
justment feet can be used to adjust the
angle of the image.
Note
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 5 degrees from the standard posi-
tion.
•When the height of the projector is ad-
justed, the image may become distorted
(keystoned), depending on the relative
positions of the projector and the screen.
See page 36 for details on the keystone
correction.
Info
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful
not to get your finger caught in the area
between the adjustment foot and the
projector.

Example of Standard Setup
Setting up the Screen
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 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 screenaccording to the desired picture size. (See page
29.)
Screen size : 100 inches (254cm)
Aspect ratio : 16:9

•The distance from the screen to the projector
may vary depending on the size of the screen.
P.29
•The default setting can be used, when placing the
projector in front of the screen. If the projected im-
age is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to
“Front” for “PRJ Mode” in the “Options” menu.
P.69
•Place the projector so that an imaginary horizontal
line that passes through the center of the lens is
perpendicular to the screen.
