INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Press Menu to refine other display parameters, if necessary. See 3.5 Using Inputs and Memory Banks if you want to work with other source inputs or defined memory banks.
You may want to reduce initial setup time by starting with an “Auto Setup”. The projector will automatically optimize a variety of display settings according to the incoming source detected. You can then
2.3Installation Considerations
Although this projector delivers a high brightness quality output, final display quality could be compromised if the projector is not properly installed. This subsection discusses issues you should consider before proceeding with a final installation. Even if you do not intend to use the projectors in a fixed and permanent installation, this subsection will help you to better understand what you can do to enhance display performance.
Lifting
For any new installation, you will likely have to safely lift the projector into place. Keep in mind that the projector is quite heavy, and the aid of a CO2 or other type of mechanical lift is highly recommended.
2.4Additional Considerations
Here are some other considerations and tips which can help you improve your installation:
Ventilation is an important factor when preparing a projection room. The ambient
!temperature should be kept constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature can cause drifts in the projector circuitry that may affect performance.
!
Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these are slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers, ele- vators, etc.
For rear screen applications, less space is required if a mirror is used to fold the optical path.
Choose the right screen size for the application:
UAs screen size increases, magnification increases and reduces brightness. Select a screen size which is appropriate for the theater, but not larger than what is required.
UInstalling a large screen in a small room is similar to watching television close up; too large a screen can overpower a room. A good rule of thumb is to be no closer than 1.5 times the width of the screen.
ULarger screens require greater attention to lighting conditions.
