Front projection, ceiling mounting
For ceiling mounting,
you need the ceiling
mount kit designed
for this projector. Ask
a specialist for instal-
lation. For details, con-
sult your dealer.
• The warranty on
this projector does
not cover any damage caused by use of any non-
recommended ceiling mount kit or installation of the
ceiling mount kit in an improper location.
• When using the projector mounted on the ceiling,
set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to
MIRROR INVERT. See page 25.
• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, im-
ages may appear darker than those projected in
the case of tabletop mounting. This isn't a product
malfunction.
• Ask your installation specialist to provide an A/C
power switch. When you do not use the projector,
be sure to shut down the main power by the switch.
• Do not install the projector where the exhaust vents
are exposed to air emitted by an air conditioning.
Such installation may cause a breakdown.
• Do not install the projector near a fire alarm
because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.

installation. For details,
consult your dealer.
• For rear projec-
tion, set IMAGE
REVERSE in the
INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR. See page 25.
Caution:
• Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs
ventilation by the fans, causing damage or
failure. Put a hard board under the projector to
facilitate ventilation.
• Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch)
away from the wall to prevent the air inlet grille
and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from
being blocked.

electric shock.
