Before You Connect the Projector
Before you start connecting the projector to your equipment, decide
where you will want to place your projector and computer or video
source. The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the actual image size. Place the projector somewhere between 4 and
54.7 feet (1.2 and 16.7 meters) away from the screen; use the general
guidelines in the table below to determine the proper distance. (For
more precise calculations, see “Positioning the Projector” on page 58.)
✦
Caution:
Do not hold or lift the projector by the lens. This can damage the
lens.
