To project a rectangular (non-distored) image, you do not need to align the projector exactly with the center of the screen. By using the horizontal lens shift dial, you can place the projector to the left or right of the screen’s center, by up to 25 percent of the image’s width when projecting with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Make sure the projector faces straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the screen).

Note: If you place the projector too far left or right, your image will not be rectangular.

Projector can be moved from center by up to 25 percent of the image’s width

Place the projector at a suitable distance from the screen to obtain the desired image size, as indicated

When placing the projector, keep these considerations in mind:

■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose materials that could block the vents underneath.

■Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
