Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your projector can be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 
1. Floor in front of screen (Standard); 
2. Ceiling in front of screen (Ceiling); 
3. Floor at rear of screen (Rear);
4. Ceiling at rear of screen (Rear Ceiling). 
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into 
consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as 
the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. 
I. Floor in front of screen 
Select this location with the projector placed 
near the floor in front of the screen. This is the 
most common way to position the projector for 
quick setup and portability.II. Ceiling in front of screen
Select this location with the projector suspended 
from the ceiling in front of the screen. 
Select Ceiling in the Setup > Projection Mode 
menu after you turn the projector on.
III. Floor at rear of screen 
Select this location with the projector placed 
near the floor behind the screen. 
Note that a special rear projection screen is 
required.
Select Rear in the Setup > Projection Mode 
menu after you turn the projector on.IV. Ceiling at rear of screen 
Select this location with the projector suspended 
from the ceiling behind the screen. 
Note that a special rear projection screen and 
the Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required 
for this installation location.
Select Rear Ceiling in the Setup > Projection 
Mode menu after you turn the projector on.
 WARNING
•  Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the 
unit. Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop 
down, thus resulting in injury.
• If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting 
the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized 
knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
•  If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anom-
aly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact. 
						

							Positioning your projector   16 
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
Factors that affect the projected image size including the distance from the projector lens to the 
screen, the zoom setting, and the video format. Tables of dimensions for both 16:9 and 4:3 screen 
ratios are provided below to help you determining the ideal location for your projector.
1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen (16:9 or 4:3).
2. Select your desired Screen Size from the applicable screen dimension table below (16:9 or 4:3 
ratio, depending on your screen ratio). Install the projector at a distance from the screen 
between the Min. and Max. Projection Distance values in the table.
3. Determine the preferred height of your projector.
For example, if you have a 16:9 screen that is 69.7 in. W x 39.4 in. H  (177 cm W x 100 cm H), you 
should place your projector within a range of 92.1 in. to 125.2 in. (234 cm to 318 cm) from the screen. 
The ideal height of your projector lens center will be level with the bottom or top side of the 
screen.
Installation for a 16:9 ratio screen
16:9 (widescreen) ratio screen dimension table   
The above numbers are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements. Only 
the recommended screen sizes are listed. If the your screen size is not in the table above, please contact 
your dealer for assistance.
An examination of the table reveals that you can place the projector lens in the range from 42.5 in. 
(108 cm) to 468.9 in. (1191 cm) distance from the screen, which will give you a projected image from 
32.3 in. W x 18.1 in. H  (82 cm W x 46 cm H) to 261.4 in. W x 147.2 in. H  (664 cm W x 374 cm H) full

							Connecting various equipment   18 
Connecting various equipment
You can connect the projector to many types of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, digital 
tuner, cable box, satellite box, video game console, or digital camera. You can also connect it to a 
desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh. 
The projector can connect to multiple video devices at the same time by using different cables. Make 
sure you select the correct input to display.
When connecting any signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
2. Use the correct cables for each source.
3. Ensure that the cables are firmly inserted. 
4. Connect all audio signals to external speakers. This projector is not equipped with speakers.
In the connections shown below, cables are not included with the projector (see  ). Cables are 
commercially available from electronics stores.
Connecting video inputs
Connecting HDMITM devices
You must use an HDMITM cable when connecting the projector to an HDMITM device. The HDMITM 
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) terminal supports uncompressed video data transmission 
between compatible devices (such as DVD tuners, DVD players, and displays) over a single cable. It 
provides a pure digital viewing and listening experience.
Beacuse HDMITM is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly 
with the projector.
Connecting component video devices
Be sure to match the corresponding colors between the cables and the terminals.

Connecting a computer
Connect the projector to a computer with a VGA-BNC cable. 
If the selected video image does not display after the projector is turned on and the correct video source 
has been selected, make sure the video source is turned on and operating correctly. Also make sure all 
signal cables have been connected correctly.
Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key 
combo such as FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled 
CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the laptop. Press FN and the labeled function key 
simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documentation to learn your laptop’s key combination.

 CAUTION
•  Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from 
the lamp may cause damage to your eyes or sight.
•  Do not block the air intake or exhaust. Doing so could cause a fire 
due to internal overheating.
•  Do not place your hands, face, or other objects near the air 
exhaust. Doing so could cause burns, deform/break the object.
