Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation 
locations: 
1. Floor in front of screen; 
2. Ceiling in front of screen; 
3. Floor at rear of screen;
4. Ceiling at rear of screen. 
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.
 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. I. Floor front: 
Select this location with the projector placed near 
the floor in front of the screen. This is the most 
common way to position.
II. Ceiling front: 
Select this location with the projector suspended 
from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Set  in the Default setting > Projection mode 
menu after you turn the projector on.
III. Floor rear: 
Select this location with the projector placed near 
the floor behind the screen.
Set   in the Default setting > Projection mode 
menu after you turn the projector on.
IV. Ceiling rear: 
Select this location with the projector suspended 
from the ceiling behind the screen.
Set   in the Default setting > Projection mode 
menu after you turn the projector on.

•  If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in 
case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that 
fact.
Projection distance and size
Use the figures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and 
projection distance.
(Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone 
adjustment.)
Connection
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn all of the equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure that the cables are firmly inserted. 
In the connections shown below, cables are not included with the projector (see 
). Cables are commercially available from electronics stores.
a is the distance (m) between the 
lens and the screen, and 
corresponds to a range of 1.15 m to 
10.00 m. H is the height from the 
image bottom to the center of the 
lens.

Connecting to a computer
 
• Signals are outputted from Monitor OUT terminal even in standby mode. From 
AUDIO OUT terminal, no audio signal is outputted.
• Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a 
projector. Usually a key combination like FN + F5 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.
• Audio out terminal accepts a stereo connector but signal is monaural. 
• The output volume from the Audio out terminal can be adjusted by the volume 
buttons. 
Connecting to a Component Video device
The projector is capable of accepting a Component Video signal. Use a 
Component Video-VGA (Mini D-sub) cable to display these images.

Adjusting the image
Adjusting the height
The projector is equipped with 1 quick-release adjuster foot and 1 tilt adjuster 
foot. The adjusters can be used to change the image height and projection angle.
To adjust the projector to your desired 
image height and projection angle:
1. Lift the projector up to the desired 
angle and press the front adjuster 
button to release the adjuster. The 
adjuster will drop into position.
2. Screw the tilt adjuster foot to fine 
tune the horizontal angle.
To retract the feet, hold up the projector 
while pressing the front adjuster button, 
then slowly lower the projector. Screw the rear adjuster foot in a reverse direction.
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected 
image becomes vertically trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of 
Keystone in the Picture menu, on the projector control panel or on the remote 
control.
Auto-adjusting the image
In some cases, you may need to optimize the picture 
quality. To do this, press the AUTO button on the 
control panel of the projector or on the remote control. 
Within 5 seconds, the built-in Intelligent Auto 
Adjustment function will re-adjust the values of 
Frequency, and Clock to provide the best picture 
quality.
This function is only available when the Computer input 
is selected.
The screen will be blank while the auto-adjustment is 
functioning.
