Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image. Note • The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
The projection screen size varies according to the distance from the lens of the projector to the screen. The optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialized application. Please see your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer to details on all the lenses. (Refer to the lens operation manual when using a lens.) Also, ensure to have service personnel install the optional lenses.
