The first crucial step, like any projector installation, is to determine where to put
the
Dipper
in the ceiling. The
Dipper
should be installed so that the projector
lens is centered horizontally to the screen, and the distance from the screen
depends on the projector’s throw distance.
Work out the maximum and minimum throw distances for the projector and
place the
Dipper
somewhere in between. It is better for the projector to be
closer to the screen, but don’t place it at an extreme—leave yourself some
room to adjust the zoom in either direction.

Note: when aligning the
Dipper
make sure that the projector
lens
is centered on the screen,
which is not necessarily the
projector center.
