Projector centering
1. If the projector is standalone in front of the port window, center the projector with the theatre screen (A).
2. If an analog film projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (B).
Note: Unlike analog film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel as possible
to the screen, even if it is significantly above the screen center.
Caution: The front foot has an adjustment range of maximum 70mm. The back feet maximum 125mm.
The off-center position slightly increases side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
