Knoll hd177 User Manual

There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up the projector, 
including the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance 
between the projector and the rest of your equipment. But here are some general guidelines.

                 NOTE: To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the  

             projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object. 

Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. 

The projector should be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of 
your video source(s), unless good quality extension cables are to be used. 

When installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the 
Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. Knöll recommends use of an authorized Knöll CM25 
ceiling mount. The addition of a CM20+6 extension bar lowers the projector 6” per bar as 
required. The ceiling mount kit may be sold separately. 

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. 

 
NOTE: The projector must be at least 5.6 feet (1.7 m) from the projection screen. 

 

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format 
determine the size of the 
projected image.  

The projected image becomes 
larger as the distance between 
the unit and screen increases.  
 
The HD177 manual zoom allows 
the distance from the screen to 
be within a minimum and 
maximum range. See the chart 
on the next page for details. The 
example on the right shows a 
very large image 10’ high by 
17.8’ wide. Note the bottom of 
the image starts about 1.6’ above 
the lens center with a horizontally 
or flat mounted projector.
