How to determine the position of the projector
for a given screen size
1. Select your screen size.
2. Refer to the table on page

projector in relation to the edge of the screen.
4. The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the
horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2
above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.
For example, if you are using this projector and a 150-inch screen, the average projection
distance is 1860 mm and with a vertical offset of 291 mm.
How to determine the recommended screen size
for a given distance
This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and
would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.
The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.
1. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the
screen. This is the projection distance.
2. Refer to the table on page
average distance from screen column labelled
that your measured distance is between the min and max distances listed on either
side of the average distance value.

Looking across this row shows that a 250-inch screen is required.
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to
tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image
distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See
