Calculation methods

SW (m) = SD (") x 0.0203

SH (m) = SD (") x 0.0152

LW (m) = 0.0305 x SD (") - 0.049

LT (m) = 0.0604 x SD (") - 0.05

NOTE:

• See page 59 for the screen size and throw distance of 16:9.

• Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause malfunction of the projector.

• Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector body approximately ± 30° vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s

life.

• For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light does not shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.
