If you place the projector off to the side, aim it straight ahead (rather than at the center of the screen), then use the horizontal lens shift knob to center the image. Do not place the projector farther to the left or right than the edge of the screen, or you will not be able to project a square (or rectangular) image.

The maximum size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen. Depending on how you use the Zoom and other settings, the actual size may be smaller. Use this table as a rough guide for projector placement:

60 in. (52 ⋅ 29 in.)

 

 

7.9 feet

80 in. (69 ⋅ 39 in.)

 

 

9.9 feet

100 in. (87 ⋅ 49 in.)

 

 

 

19.9 feet

200 in. (174

⋅ 98 in.)

 

 

 

29.9 feet

⋅ 147 in.)

 

 

 

Also keep these considerations in mind:

■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose materials that could block the vents underneath.

■Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
