Positioning the Projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your
screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector
and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:
• Position the projector on a flat surface a
t a right angle to the screen. The
projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the
projection screen.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6
feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To
ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m)
of a wall or other object.
• Position the projector to the desired dis
tance from the screen. The distance
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video
format determine the size of the projected image.
• For the standard lens that comes with the projector, the image exits at a given
angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset variable.
• The vertical image offset range for all
the projectors is 50% - 110% (default
80%), and the horizontal image offset is +/-10% (default 0%). At 110% offset,
10% of the image height resides above the lens center in tabletop
configuration. At 50% offset, 50% of the image height resides above the lens
center in tabletop configuration.
