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 at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 39.4” (1.0m) from the projection screen.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n PRJ-MNT-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper
location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on page 26. We
recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determine the size of the projected image.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button
on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See page 24 for more
