Positioning your projector
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors
in the projected image size.
in the projected image size.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly
perpendicular 90° right-angle square) to the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled
projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be
mounted upside-down.

projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be
mounted upside-down.
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the
vertical offset also increases proportionately.
vertical offset also increases proportionately.
When determining the positions of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the
projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection
distance.
projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection
distance.
This projector is equipped with a movable lens. See
for
details. You can see the diagrams on pages
for the vertical offset values in the dimension tables
that are measured when the lens is shifted fully up or down.
Lens shift is only available on W1070.
How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size
1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?
2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled
2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled
. Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average
distance from screen value in the column labelled
. This is the projection distance.
3. Decide the exact position of your projector according to the position of your screen and the
adjustable lens shift range.

How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance
This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know
what screen size will fit in your room.
what screen size will fit in your room.
The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.

4. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen diagonal listed in
that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance.
