    3.3
Installation
Considerations
 
 
 
 Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector tempo- rarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation Type Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount.

  • Page 17: Throw Distance

    Throw Distance Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a de- sired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen.

  • Page 18: Vertical And Horizontal Position

    Vertical and Horizontal Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that com- pletely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and centered horizontally.

  • Page 19: Horizontal Lens Shift

    Horizontal Lens Shift: The projector provides ±30% of horizontal lens shift. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you can shift the image up to 7.50 inches (0.19 meters) left or right of the screen center. 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W)

  • Page 20: Folded Optics

    Folded Optics In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-6. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance.

  • Page 21: Mounting The Projector

    3.4
Mounting
the
Projector
 
 
 
 There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. Floor Mounting (Upright) In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a table or cart.

Connections
to
the
projector
 
 
 
 Proceed as follows to connect the projector to your video sources, external controller(s) - if present - and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them. Connecting Source Components to the projector Connect your video sources to the projector as shown and described in the sections that follow.
  • Page 23 RGB Connections: Connect your personal computer or other RGB source to the RGB input. Optionally, if the source outputs RGB with composite sync, connect the green, blue and red outputs to the Y, Pb and Pr terminals on the COMPONENT 1/SCART input and the sync output to the VIDEO input. See Figure 3-8.

  • Page 27: Connecting An External Ir Receiver

    Connecting an External IR Receiver If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the projector due to excessive distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external IR repeater system to the IR INPUT on the projector to extend the range of the remote control.

  • Page 43 Figure 4-9: RGB Adjust Sub-Menu • Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas con- tain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
  • Page 44 Fine Sync: To fine-tune the position and other image attributes, choose Fine Sync from the Advanced menu and press ENTER. This displays the Fine Sync sub-menu, shown in Figure 4-10. Figure 4-10: Fine Sync Sub-Menu • V Position: This control adjusts the vertical position of the image within the designated image area, up to 25 per cent of the image height up or down.

  • Page 45: System

    • Tracking (RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled. • Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is main- tained and that pixel phase (see above) can be optimized.

Lamp
Replacement 
 
 
 The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours depending on the Lamp Power setting), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. Contact your dealer to obtain a replacement lamp. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
