Only for adjustment purposes.
Mounting on a flat surface
1. Position the projector at the desired location.
2. Power up the projector.
3. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns and select an internal hatch pattern to display on the screen.
4. Adjust the projector legs until the projected hatch pattern is a level and perfect rectangle.
Adjustable feet
Twisting the adjustable feet in either direction, left or right, allows you to fine-adjust the projector position for precise vertical me-
chanical alignment.

Throw distance

Calculate the installation throw distance
Throw is the distance (D) measured from your projector lens to the screen. To calculate the throw distance for an installation, you
will need two pieces of data: the selected lens throw ratio (L) and the horizontal width (W) of the screen. For example, if the screen
width (W) is 2.4 meters and the projector lens has a throw ratio (L) of 0.99:1, then the throw distance (D) will be 2.38 meters.
Calculation: 2.4 x 0.99 = 2.38
The following graphs illustrate the image size (W) and projection distance (D) for each of the projector lenses.
Tolerances are typically +/- 5% due to optical (lens) variation.
