Position
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way
that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and
centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

Lens Shift
You can use the lens shift controls on the projector remote to center the image on the
screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or width, as
shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4.
