16 Setting Up the Projector
Installing the Projector
To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your
screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 14 as a guide to positioning the
projector.
To suspend the projector from a ceiling, you will need the optional projector mount designed
for the projector. See page 10 for ordering information. Follow the instructions included with
the mount to install the projector.
Warning: When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the
screws from loosening and do not use any type of oil or lubricant. These may cause the projector
casing to crack and the projector may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the
projector.
If you install the projector on the ceiling, you will need to invert the picture so that it appears
right side up. Follow these steps:
1. Press the
Menu
button on the remote control.
2. Open the
Settings
menu, then select
Projection
.
3. Select
Front/Ceiling
.
4. Press the
Menu
button when done.
If you are planning to use an AV controller with the projector, refer to the table of ESC/VP21
command codes on page 74. In addition, the projector’s
Trigger out
port can be used to
lower a projection screen or operate an anamorphic lens (see page 45).
