This section describes how to install the unit and screen, how to connect the equipment from 
which you want to project the picture, etc.
Installing the Unit
The lens shift allows you to have broader 
options for placing the unit and viewing 
pictures easily.
The installation distance between the unit 
and a screen varies depending on the size of 
the screen or whether or not you use the lens 
shift features. Install this unit so that it fits 
the size of your screen. For details on the 
distance between the unit and the screen (the 
projection distance) and the size of projected 
video, see “Projection Distance and Lens 
Shift Range” (page 61).
1Position the unit so that the lens is 
parallel to the screen.

2Project an image on the screen and 
adjust the picture so that it fits the 
screen (page 8).
When using a screen with an uneven surface, 
stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen 
depending on the distance between the screen 
and the unit or the zooming magnifications. 
This is not a malfunction of the unit.
