Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,

Position

 

perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.

 

 

Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in

 

 

such a way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of

 

 

the screen area, and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-3.
