Setting Up Your Projector - Mitsubishi Electric XD8100U User Manual

Setting up your projector

Before setting up
Before setting up the projector, check the operating environment.
If the environmental requirements are not satisfi ed, the projector may break down or fail.
Setup environment
The allowable operating temperature varies depending on the projection angle.
For fl oor installation (projection angle 0°) and ceiling installation (projection angle 180°): +41°F (+5°C) to +104°F (+40°C)
For installation at other angles:
For use in the HIGH ALTITUDE mode (see page 13), the allowable operating temperature is +41°F (+5°C) to +95°F
(+35°C), which allows fl oor installation or ceiling installation only.
Setting up the screen
Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the
projection angle of the projector. (See page 14.)
• 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 whitish and hard to view.
Screen size and projection distance
Refer to the following table to determine the screen size and projection distance.

• The above fi gures are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements.
• The lens shift height and width show distances from the factory default position.
• Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may fl ow into the intake
vent, causing the projector to display "TEMPERATURE!!" and then stop projecting images.
