If you place the projector above or below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up or down to aim the image at the screen; this distorts (or “keystones”) the shape of the image, but you can correct it using the projector’s Keystone function (see page 6).

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 dial 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.

Caution: To adjust the lens position, make sure you use the lens shift dials. Do not try to move the lens manually, or you may strip the gears.

Tip: You can display a test pattern to help you center the image on the screen. Press the Pattern button on the remote control, then select Display Position. You can use the feet to correct the angle of the image if it’s tilted.

Follow the instructions included with the mount to install the projector, which weighs 11.5 pounds. The wall or ceiling where you install it must be capable of supporting a weight of 58 pounds.

If you are planning to use an AV controller with the projector, refer to the table of ESC/VP21 command codes below.
