Also keep these considerations in mind:
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
■
■ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose
papers that could block the vents under the projector.
Make sure the projector is within 2 m of a grounded electrical
■
outlet or extension cord.
Try to place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen,
facing it toward the screen squarely. If the projector isn't positioned
this way, the image will be "keystone" shaped, instead of rectangular.
If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you'll have to
tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot (see page 38). If you
mount the projector on the ceiling, you'll need to adjust its position
using the ceiling mount. This also causes the image to lose its
rectangular shape. You can adjust the shape using the buttons on the
projector (see page 39) or the projector's menu system (see page 59).
