Installation

4.Secure the CineWide base plate (and ceiling mounting rails, if needed) to the projector with the Pan-Head Phillips screws provided with the CineWide lens base plate.

	Caution	1. Do not use the mounting screws provided with the ceiling
		mounting kit. Use only the hardware provided with the CineWide

		lens base plate.
		2. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

3.5	There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
Mounting the VX-8d	installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting (Upright) ➤	In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
	level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
	presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
	it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting ➤	For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
(Inverted)	space for projector and audience, you can invert the VX-8d and suspend it from the
	ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
	Note	Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
		projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions

provided with it.

	The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the
	viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the
	projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber
	crutch tips or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projection ➤	If the VX-8d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector, you
Angle	can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
	If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls,
	to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on
	page 47.
