Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each fac- tors in the projected image size. Separate tables of dimensions for both 16:9 and 4:3 screen ratios below have been provided to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector.
1.Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, (16:9 or 4:3)?
2.Select the Screen Size you desire from the 16:9 ratio screen dimension table or 4:3 ratio screen dimension table below, according to what screen type you have. Install the projector at a dis- tance from the screen corresponding to between the Min. and Max. Projection Distance values in the table.
3.Decide the exact height of your projector.
For example, if you are using a 16:9 screen with 80 inches diagonal, you are suggested to place your projector within a range between 2.34m to 3.18m from the screen. The ideal height of your projec- tor lens center will be level with the bottom or top side of the screen.
