Installing the Projector

The projector can be installed for three different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, or rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen.

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 page 46 for more information.

If you’re ceiling-mounting the projector 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 rectangular shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the Keystone function in the projector’s menu system (see page 45). (You can’t use the Auto Keystone function when you’re projecting in ceiling or rear projection mode.)

If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the screen, the image will be rectangular 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.

Connecting to a PC Desktop Computer

You can connect the projector to any IBM®-compatible PC. This section includes instructions for the following:

■Connecting the computer cable

■Connecting a monitor to view your display on the desktop computer screen

■Connecting the mouse cable (if you want to use the remote control as a mouse)

■Connecting an optional audio cable (if you’ll be projecting with audio)

Follow the steps in each section for the cables you need to connect. Before beginning, turn off the projector and computer if they are on.
