from tipping. Secure the strap between the projector and the optional rack-mount or any
other surface it is mounted to.
An optional rack stand (P/N 108-282101-01 with panels or P/N 108-272101-01 without panels) and hold down
clamp (P/N 116-100101-01) are available for use with the projector. If you intend to use this in your
installation, refer to the instructions provided with the rack stand before proceeding with STEP 3.

STEP 3 - Position the Projector

head a short distance as required. 2) Use of the projector's safety strap is MANDATORY to
prevent the projector from tipping. Secure the strap between the projector and the optional
rack-mount or any other surface it is mounted to.
1. Position the projector at an appropriate throw distance (projector-to-screen distance) and vertical position.
Ideally, center the projector with the theatre screen. If competing for space with an already present film
projector, aim the projector slightly off-center as shown in Figure 2-1. This will slightly increase side
keystoning, but will minimize the horizontal lens offset required.
NOTE: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as pos-
sible, even if significantly above the screen center. When a particularly short throw distance combines with
a very wide screen you may have to forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. In such cases,
some lens offset can reduce the keystone distortion.
2. Attach the supplied safety strap to the back of the projector and fasten it to the mounting surface. Use
of this strap is MANDATORY to prevent the projector from tipping when a lens or auxiliary lens mount is
installed. NOTE: It is also recommended that you use the optional hold down clamp (P/N 116-100101-01)
be used to firmly secure the rear feet.
3. Once you have completed the remaining installation steps and the projector is up-and-running, adjust
precise image geometry and placement as described in
