projection angle of the projector. (See below.)
• Install the screen and projector so that the projector's lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of
the screen center.
• Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly refl ecting on the screen
makes the projected images washed-out and hard to view.
