SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
There are a number a 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. 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.
1
Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the 
screen.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power 
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your video device 
(unless you purchase extension cables).
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the 
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for 
more information. To turn the image upside down, see 
“Ceiling Project” on page 46. Studio Experience recom-
mends use of an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling 
Mount Kit is sold separately, see “Optional Accessories” on 
page 63
.
2
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
NOTE: The projector must be at 
least 6.5 feet (2 m) from the pro-
jection 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. Figure 5 shows three projected image 
sizes in 16:9 format. For more information about image 
sizes at different distances and formats, see “Projected 
Image Size” on page 64
