4. Later, when the projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and placement.
Projector tilting
In an ideal installation, the DP-1500 lens surface is centered with and parallel to the screen. This orientation helps to ensure
optimized lens performances with minimal offset. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is signi fi cantly higher
than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt .
1. Before adjusting tilt, make sure the projector is as well-centered with the theatre screen as possible for your installation area.
2. Check with theatre personnel for the degree of screen tilt, or measure this incline with a protractor at the screen.
3. Tilt the projector to closely match this screen tilt angle as follows:
- Loosen the nuts (A), using a wrench of 17 mm, on the threaded rod.
- Adjust the height of the legs until the projected image matches the projection port window and the screen tilt.
- Secure the leg height by tightening the nuts (A).
