Note
f The projector has a built-in angle sensor. The attitude of the projector is automatically detected by setting the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→ [PROJECTION METHOD] to [AUTO]. For rear projection, set the [PROJECTION METHOD] to [REAR/DESK] or [REAR/CEILING].
rAngle sensor
The range of installation posture detected by the projector's built-in angle sensor is as follows.
In case of [AUTO], when the projector is placed with the top side upward within ±30° from the horizontal plane, it
will switch to [FRONT/DESK] automatically; when the projector is placed with the top side downward within ±30°
from the horizontal plane, it will switch to [FRONT/CEILING] automatically. Although it is detected as [FRONT/
DESK] even when it exceeds ±30° with respect to the horizontal plane, do not use such installation posture in this
range.
