Position The Projector; Connect A Source - Christie M Series User Manual

2.1.2 Position the Projector

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface and position it so that it is perpendicular to the screen at a suitable
distance. The further back the projector is positioned for the screen, the larger the image will be.
To level the projector adjust its 3 feet. With the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will
appear rectangular instead of keystoned.
