Placement
Placement Styles
As shown in the figures below, this device can be placed in 4 different styles.
The factory setting is “floor-mounted front projection.” Set the [
Projection mode] in the 
Default setting menu p.36, in accordance with your needs.
 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 anomaly. Let 
everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Connection
Before connection
•  Read the owner’s manual of the device you are connecting to the projector.
•  Some types of computer cannot be used or connected to this projector.
  Check for an RGB output terminal, supported signal 
p.44, etc.
•  Turn off the power of both devices before connecting.
•  The figures are sample connections. 
• The MONITOR terminal outputs analog RGB signals or component video signals (Y/PB/PR) from the COMPUTER IN terminals as selected with the INPUT button. If no input is selected, the MONITOR terminal outputs the input signals last selected among the COMPUTER terminals. 
•  A computer monitor usually cannot accept Y/PB/PR signals correctly.
  Notes
•  Moving pictures played back on computers using DVD software may appear unnatural if it is projected with this projector, but it is not a malfunction.
•  When an AUDIO OUT terminal is connected, sound is not output from the projector 
speaker.
•  Output volume of AUDIO OUT terminal can be adjusted by the VOL button.

•  Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals p.44, any resolutions not supported by this projector (XGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is recommended that the computer’s external output should be set to XGA resolution.
•  With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images 
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information on how to turn off the LCD display, see the owner’s manual of your computer.
