Section 2: Installation and Setup

2.1.2 Ambient Lighting

The high brightness of this projector is well suited for locations where ambient lighting might be considered
less than ideal for projection. A typical room with ceiling lights and windows rarely requires special attention.
If light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image,
the contrast ratio in your image will be noticeably reduced and may appear washed out and less vibrant.
In general, avoid or eliminate light sources directed at the screen.

2.1.3 Other Considerations

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
• Ventilation is important, the constant ambient temperature must below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature can affect the operation of the projector
which may affect performance.
• Keep the projector away from devices radiating electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers,
slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers, elevators, etc.
• Use an optical mirror for rear screen installations to shorten the optical light path and use less space in the
projection room.
• When designing a projection room, consider positioning the projector and screen for maximum audience
coverage and space efficiency. For example, placing the screen along the larger wall in a rectangular room
reduces audience coverage.
