Getting Ready
This section explains how to set up the projector to get it ready for use, and how to connect it to an input source (computer or video device).
It also includes information about how to turn on the projector, how to select the display language the first time you turn it on, and precautions you need to keep in mind concerning the power supply.
Setting Up the Projector
This projector is designed for tabletop use only. Place the projector onto a table, desk, or stand that is level and firm, making sure you allow enough room around it.
zThe following illustrations show how the projector should be oriented for optimum projection relative to the screen.

The center of the projector’s lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen.
Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.
zYou can place the projector on a surface that is angled up to 30 degrees up or down during use.Angling the projector more than 30 degrees up or down can cause rupture or premature aging of the projector's lamp,or malfunction of the projector.
zThe above setup enables proper projection without any image correction. If the projector is at an angle to the screen, a phenomenon called “keystoning” will occur, which causes the sides, and/or the top and bottom of the image to be different lengths. The projector comes with a keystone correction feature that automatically corrects the image. See “Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE)” on page 50 for information about keystone correction.
