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.34, in accordance with your needs.
 WARNING•	Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS whe\
n placing the unit. Attempting to clean or replace the lamp in a high location by yourself may cause you to fall, 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.

 Notes•	 Lamp	characteristics	may	rarely	cause	the	brightness	to	fluctuate	slightly. 	•	 A	lamp	is	consumable	item.	If	used	for	extended	periods,	images	will	appear	dark,	and	the lamp could burn out.  This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)•	 The	DLP® chip is made using extremely advanced technology. There may be black spots (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. These are intrinsic characteristics of the technology and are not malfunctions. •	 Although	this	projector	supports	a	wide	range	of	RGB	signals	p.43, any resolutions not supported by this projector (XGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, set the computer’s external output to XGA.•	 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 computer’s owner’s manual.•	 If	no	signal	is	being	input	from	the	connected	equipment	or	signal	input	is	stopped	while	projecting, the “No signal” message will appear.•	 If	a	signal	not	supported	by	the	projector	is	input,	the	“Unsupported signal” message will appear.
•	 If	an	unavailable	operation	button	is	pressed,	the	 icon will appear.
