Setup & Connections
Setting Up the Projector and Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the
image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors,
making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size (see the table
below).
90˚
Reversed Image Setup
Rear projection
• Place a translucent screen between the projector and
the audience.
• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page 34 for use of this
function.)
Projection using a mirror
• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page 34 for use of this
function.)
• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto
the screen.
CAUTION
• When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the
projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the
eyes of the audience.
