Installation methods
There are four ways to install this unit:
on a table in front of the screen.
mounted on the ceiling in front of the screen.
on a table behind a semi translucent screen.
mounted on the ceiling behind a semi translucent screen.
Set the method you use on the 4  section of the MENU described later. (see page 21.)

Place the unit on a standard height table to project and view the image
from in front of the screen. The height from the bottom of the unit to the
center of the lens is 12.4 cm (4”-7/8).

There are two kinds of brackets (low ceiling and high ceiling, sold
separately) available which can be used to mount the unit on the ceiling.
Consult your dealer for details on their use, and have installation done by
either your dealer or a reputable contractor.
The image on the screen is vertically reversed compared to that of a table
mounted installation. In this case, please set the installation type to
FRONT/CEILING in the 4  section of the menu. (see page
21.)

In this case, images are projected onto a semi translucent screen, and the
viewer watches it from the reverse side. The relationship with the screen
and projection distance corresponds to that for front projection. For rear
projection, set the installation type to REAR/CEILING or REAR/TABLE
in the 4  section of the menu. (see page 21.)

INSTALLATION

Screen and projection distance
The ideal position for mounting the main unit (Projection distance [a]) depends on the size of the screen to be used (the length of a diagonal
line across the screen). It is possible to adjust the projection distance within a preset range from Wide to Tele using the zoom function.
Additionally, it is possible to adjust the V. POS (Vertical positioning) of the image to better suit the screen. Use the information illustrated in
the figure below to determine the best position for installation.

Projection image position
Follow the instructions below to adjust the position of the projected image on the screen.

This figure shows the limits within which the zoom function can alter
projection distance in relation to the screen size. Within these limits, it is
possible to adjust the image so that it fills the screen completely. (See
page 12.)

It is possible to adjust the vertical position of the projected image on the
screen up or down by half the height of the screen.
For example, shifting V. POS fully up will bring the lower limit of the
image above the centerline of the lens. (See page 12.)

When this unit is mounted on a tabletop, the position of the image can be
adjusted by using the adjusters located on the underside of the unit.
Adjust the height by rotating the movable part of the two screw-type
adjusters at the front bottom of the case. The adjustment range of these
adjusters is 3 cm (1-1/4 inch). Adjust with care as loosening them further
may cause them to separate from the main unit.

Keystone
When the unit is mounted at an angle to the screen, the image will be projected in a trapezoid manner. Use the keystone function in the
keystone section of 4  in the menu to rectify this. (See page 21.)
