Installation

Projection schemes

Any of the following four projection schemes can be used with the PT-D5500U/D5500UL projector depending on user’s needs or viewing conditions. Use “OPTION 2” menu (chosen from the MAIN MENU) to choose the appropriate projection scheme (see page 34).

Projection Scheme 2

		Table standing	Ceiling mount
Scheme 1	Front projection	(Default position)
Projection	Rear projection

Installation geometry

After the projector is roughly positioned, picture size and vertical picture positioning can be finely adjusted with the powered zoom lens and lens tilt mechanism.

Projection distances

Listed in the table below are the projection distances of the standard lens provided with the PT-D5500U (with lens).

Refer to page 57 for the projection distances of the projection lenses available as optional accessories.

Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above table can be calculated using the formulas below.

LW = 0.0370 x SD – 0.0650 LT = 0.0488 x SD – 0.0638 (LW,LT: m SD: inch)

For 16 : 9 aspect rations, the following formal can be used to calculate the screen width (SW).

SW = (SD x 0.0254) x 16 ÷ 337

The value for SW obtained above can then be used with the following function to calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).

LW = 1.823 x SW – 0.0650 LT = 2.403 x SW – 0.0638

Note • The dimensions in the table above and the values obtained from the above formulas may contain slight errors.

•It is recommended that you use the projection distance for the wide lens position.

•The above dimensions are the case when the aspect ratio is 4:3. When an SXGA signal is input and projected, the right and left ends of the picture will be blanked the aspect ratio will be 5:4.
