Step 1: Installing the Projector

e: Maximum vertical distance from the bottom 

of the screen to the center of the projector’s 
lens when you place the projector on the side 
(when you use projection distance a)

f: Maximum vertical distance from the bottom 

of the screen to the center of the projector’s 
lens when you place the projector on the side 
(when you use projection distance b)

Position the projector with the lens end within 
the area 

 in the illustration, by using the 

values a, b, c and d in the table below as a guide. 

Unit: m (feet)

The table shows the distances when projecting the video 
signals. Distances used for projecting a 1080i/720p format 
signal and computer’s signal are shown on page 40 .

If you project the picture using “Side Shot” only, set “V 
Keystone” in the INSTALL SETTING menu to “Manual,” 
and adjust the level to “0.”

Position the projector with the lens end within 
the area 

 in the illustration, by using the 

values a to f in the table below as a guide.

Unit: m (feet)

The table shows the distances when projecting the 
conventional video signals. Distances used for projecting a 
1080i/720p format signal and computer’s signal are shown 
on page 40 .

You can change the projection angle using the 
adjuster. (

Position the projector with the lens end within 
the area 

 in the illustration, by using the 

values a and b in the table below as a guide. 

Unit: m (feet)

For “Floor installation example”, see page 41.

To project an image, connect video equipment to 
the projector. (

When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern 

may sometimes appear on the screen depending on the 

distance between the screen and the projector or the 

zooming magnifications. This is not a malfunction of the 

projector.
