Getting Ready

Setting Up the Projector

Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure to allow
sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation.
The following illustrations show how the projector should be oriented for optimum projection
relative to the screen.
Viewed from Above
The center of the
projector's lens
should be aligned
with the horizontal
center of the screen.
You can place the projector on a surface that is angled up to 30 degrees upwards or
downwards during use. Never locate the projector on a surface that is angled more than
30 degrees, or angled at all to the left or right. Such conditions can cause the lamp to
explode or can shorten lamp life, and also creates the risk of malfunction.
The projector's auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are
projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction (page
14) to correct the image.
