Projection Distance and Screen Size

■This projector uses a fixed forcal length lens.

■The projection distance that can be focused is approx. 0.76 to 4.14 m. Install the projector within this range.

■Change of projection screen according to aspect ratio

Screen with 4 : 3 aspect ratio

Screen

Screen with 16 : 9 aspect ratio

90° 90° 90°

Center line of the lens

Install the projector so the center of the projection screen is at the same height as the lens’ center line.

Projection screen size				Projection distance
(diagonal length)		When screen aspect ratio is 4 : 3			When screen aspect ratio is 16 : 9
36.7”	(approx. 93 cm)				approx. 2.49 ft	(0.76 m)
50”	(approx. 127 cm)		approx. 3.15 ft	(0.96 m)	approx. 3.44 ft	(1.05 m)
100”	(approx. 254 cm)		approx. 6.46 ft	(1.97 m)	approx. 7.09 ft	(2.16 m)
150”	(approx. 381 cm)		approx. 9.74 ft	(2.97 m)	approx. 10.69 ft	(3.26 m)
200”	(approx. 508 cm)	approx. 13.06 ft		(3.98 m)

CAUTIONS and NOTES

•Install the screen so the center of the projected picture aligns with the extended center line of the projector’s lens. That way, the center of the picture projected on a 4 : 3 aspect ratio screen aligns with the extended center line of the lens. Also, the screen must be at right angles with the extended center line of the lens (so that projection occurs at right angles with the screen).

•When installing the screen, use a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture.

(A 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture is projected.)

•The diagonal length of a 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is about 91.8% that of a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is a guide and should be used as a reference.

•If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a curtain, etc. to shield the light.

•Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected.

Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +7°; horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°) so that it is set up level.

•The numeric values listed in the table of Relationship between Projection Distances and Screen Sizes on page 17 are provided only as a guide or reference. The projection sizes may vary within manufacturing tolerances of the projection lens.
