Projector Installation

This appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room.

The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:

Ceiling projection

Rear/ceiling projection

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting hardware (see page 13). You’ll also need to select the appropriate Projection setting in the projector’s Extended menu to flip the image upside-down (see page 132).

If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above screen level, you’ll have to tilt the projector down to position the image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape. You can correct the image using the projector’s Quick Setup, Quick Corner, and/or Keystone functions, as described on page 24.
