Appendix A: Projector Installation

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

Installation Guidelines

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:

Front projection

Rear projection

Ceiling mounting

Rear/ceiling projection

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting hardware; see page 15 for ordering information. You’ll also need to select Ceiling in the projector’s Advanced1 menu to flip the image upside-down. To project from the rear, select Rear Proj (see page 76).
