The Procedure Up to Projecting to the Screen Position the projector → Page E-13 "Projection Distance and Screen Size" Determine the locations to place the screen and the projector. Connecting the power cable → Page E-16 "Power Cord Connections" Connect the video equipment and personal computer Connect your equipment to the projector.
Placement Guide Use this information as a guide to find the rough screen size when the projector is placed at a certain location, or to find out the approximate size of a screen that will be required. The projection distance over which focussing is adjustable is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) to 7.6 m (24.9 feet) from the lens surface of the main unit.
Page 14
These are the projection distances for screens of 16:9 aspect ratio used for the viewing of DVD and other squeezed screen applications. This projector uses an output size of 848 x 480 pixels for home theater applications and enables the projection of a high definition 16:9 aspect ratio.

Should this happen, press SOURCE and ASPECT on the projector cabinet for at least of 5 seconds at the same time when the projector is in standby mode.
Cleaning the Inside of the Projector Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Be sure to consult your PLUS dealer.
Table of Supported Frequencies This projector automatically identifies the input signal from the personal computer and selects the optimum supported resolution from the table below. Note that a manual adjustment may be required depending on the input signal. Please see "Adjusting the Clock Frequency of the Input Signal"...
