Choosing a Location
13
Ideally, keep the projector level and place it at a height so its lens is pointing near the bottom
or top of the screen, as shown below.
The size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen.
Depending on your display settings and how you use the zoom ring, the actual size may differ.
Use these tables as a guide for projector placement:
