Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are 
installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into 
account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or 
inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. 

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your 
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft 
of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed 
out and less vibrant.

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector 

away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause 
drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.

• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as 

motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, 
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
