Epson PowerLite Cinema 500 User Manual page 14

If you place the projector off to the side, aim it straight ahead (rather than at the center of the
screen), then use the horizontal lens shift knob to center the image. Do not place the projector
farther to the left or right than the edge of the screen, or you will not be able to project a
square (or rectangular) image.
The maximum size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector's lens to the
screen. Depending on how you use the Zoom and other settings, the actual size may be
smaller. Use this table as a rough guide for projector placement:
Projection distance
2.9 feet
3.9 feet
5.9 feet
7.9 feet
9.9 feet
19.9 feet
29.9 feet
Also keep these considerations in mind:
Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not
set the projector on top of loose materials that could block the vents underneath.
Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
