PowerLite S5 Series / 77c Projector

Compatible Computer Display Formats

To project images output from a computer, the computer’s external monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that’s compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible formats. For best results, the computer’s resolution should be set to match the projector’s native resolution; 800 × 600 (PowerLite S5) or 1024 × 768 (PowerLite 77c). If this resolution isn’t available, select another compatible format.

Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:

❏Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between

3 and 34 feet (PowerLite 77c) or between 3 and 39 feet (PowerLite S5) from the screen.

❏Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose papers that could block the vent under the projector.

❏Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

❏Face the projector squarely toward the screen.

The projector supports 4 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the correct projection option from the Extended menu after you turn it on.

Table

Convenient for temporary front projection. Choose Front from the menu.

Front/Ceiling Professional installation recommended. Choose Front/Ceiling from the menu.

Rear

For projecting behind a translucent screen. Choose Rear from the menu.

Rear/Ceiling

Professional installation behind a translucent screen recommended. Choose Rear/Ceiling from the menu.

If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need to adjust the image shape. See page 7.
