Installation Instructions

STEP 1 - Position the Projector
1. An optional rack stand (P/N 108-282101-02) and hold down clamp (P/N 116-100101-01) are available for
use with the projector. If you intend to use the rack stand as part of your installation, refer to the
instructions provided with the rack stand before continuing with the remaining installation steps.
2. 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.
STEP 2 - Secure the Projector
WARNING
tipping. Secure the strap between the projector and the optional rack-mount or any other
surface it is mounted to.
Attach the supplied safety strap to the back of the projector and fasten it to its mounting surface. Use of the
strap is mandatory to prevent the projector from tipping when a lens or auxiliary lens mount is installed.
NOTE: If you are using the optional rack stand, it is strongly recommended you use the hold down clamp
(116-100101-01) in addition to the rear safety strap to firmly secure the projector's rear feet.
STEP 3 - Adjust Tilt/Leveling
For an ideal installation, the CP2220 lens surface should be centered and parallel to the theatre screen. This
orientation helps to ensure optimized lens performance with minimal offset. Choose a sturdy mounting surface
that allows for this. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is significantly higher than the
center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.
Check with theatre personnel for the degree of screen tilt or measure this incline with a protractor at the screen.
Tilt the projector to match the screen tilt angle by extending or retracting the projector's four adjustable feet.
