Installing the Projector

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

note

See “Positioning the Projector” on page 10 for more information.

To project from overhead, you’ll need to select Ceiling in the projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select Rear Proj. See “Setting Advanced Features” on page 57.

If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above screen level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the image on-screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the V Keystone function in the projector’s menu system (see “Customizing Projector Features” on page 55) or by using the Keystone buttons on the projector’s control panel.

If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the screen, the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the top of the screen, you’ll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.
