Installation Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 23 PREL IMINARY 3.5 Mounting the Vision 70 There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. Floor Mounting (Upright)In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on a secure and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation. Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 70 and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture. The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips or turntable feet). Adjusting the Projector Height or Projection Angle If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount. For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust the projector height and/or projection angle. If you do this, you may need to make keystone adjustments or vertically shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 42. Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions provided with it. Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 70/CineWide with AutoScope, because the anamorphic lens and lens motor shift the center of gravity toward the front of the projector.
