• Install the projector at the position where the projection distance is about 1.2 m (3.9') to
9.1 m (29.9'). If the installation position is too close, the image is out of focus. If the installation position is too far, the screen becomes dark.
• The sizes in the above table have been obtained assuming that the aspect ratio is 4:3.
They may vary from the actual sizes depending on the type of the projected image.
For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table on page 85.
Determining the Installation Place
Placing in Front of the Screen
Place the projector in front of the screen in such a manner that it is as perpendicular to the screen as possible.
Screen
Optical axis
A slight error in the projection angle can be corrected using the KEYSTONE button. (P31)
Placing on a Level Place
Place the projector on a level place.
• Make sure that the installation place is free from any obstacle that may block the exhaust vent (fan) on the right side of the projector and the air intake vent (air filter) on the bottom of the projector.
• The screen must not be exposed to direct sunlight or light from lighting equipment. In a bright room, it is recommended to limit ambient lighting in order to improve the image quality.
Note
This projector can be hung from the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side down.
When a translucent screen is used, the projector can project an image from behind the screen (Rear).
When the projector is hung from the ceiling or projector projects an image from behind the screen, the image must be inverted vertically or horizontally. (P61)
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. RS-CL01) are required.

22
Adjusting the Projection Angle
The projection angle can be adjusted with the adjustable foot.
Before making this adjustment, connect the computer and AV equipment and project an image on the screen.
1
Lift the front of the projector and push the adjusting foot lock.
The adjustable foot extends with the spring force.
2
Adjust the projection angle while pushing the adjustable foot lock, and then release the lock.
With the adjustable foot, the projection angle can be adjusted up to 10 degrees.
Adjust the longitudinal tilt of the projector to +/-20 degrees or less. If the tilt is more than 20 degrees above and below, a lamp problem can result.
If Keystone Distortion is Large
Extending the adjustable foot too far causes keystone distortion (the projected picture is trapezoidal). If the distortion is large, adjust the height of the pedestal of the projector.
The keystone distortion can be corrected using the KEYSTONE button. (P31)

Glossary
Analog RGB
A signal system used to send information about R (red), G (green), and B (blue) with analog values. It is a typical system for connecting a color monitor to a computer. Connect the analog RGB output terminal of the computer and the DVI-I/RGB IN-1 terminal or RBG-2/
COMPONENT IN/RGB OUT terminal of this projector with a monitor cable. When the RGB
IN-1 terminal is used, select “ANALOG RGB-1” by pressing the [COMPUTER-1] button.
When the RGB IN-2 terminal is used, select “ANALOG RGB-2” by pressing the
[COMPUTER-2] button.
Digital RGB
A signal system used to send information about individual display dots with digital values.
This system is free from deterioration of image quality because of no analog conversion.
Connect the DVI output terminal of the computer and the DVI-I/RGB IN-1 terminal of this projector with a connection cable and select “DIGITAL RGB” by pressing the [COMPUTER-
1] button.
Video
An output terminal widely used for AV equipment. It is also called a composite output terminal (pin terminal or RCA terminal). For more details, refer to “Composite”.
S-video
A signal system (YC separation signal) used to send a brightness signal (Y) and color signal
(C) separately. Connect the S-video terminal of AV equipment and the S-VIDEO IN terminal of this projector with an S-video cable and select “S-VIDEO” by pressing the [VIDEO/S] button.
Component
A signal system used to send a color signal (C) with it divided into a B-Y color difference signal and an R-Y color difference signal. This system can project a better-quality image as compared with the composite signal system. Connect the video terminal of AV equipment and the RGB-2/COMPONENT IN/RGB OUT terminal with a component cable and select
“COMPONENT” by pressing the [COMPUTER-2] button.
Composite
A video signal system used to send a brightness signal (Y) and a color signal (C) together.
Connect the composite output terminal (RCA) of AV equipment and the VIDEO IN terminal of this projector with a video cable and select “VIDEO” by pressing the [VIDEO/S] button.
sRGB
An international standard of color representation (color space) which is applied to digital cameras, displays and others. If you select sRGB, the projector can project the best-quality image conforming to the sRGB Standard.
Progressive
An image display system used to display the entire screen per scan. When an interlace signal (video signal) that displays one screen by two scans (one for odd lines and one for even lines) is input, progressive processing is required. When the progressive function is turned off, one screen is displayed using image signals per interlace signal, deteriorating the vertical resolution of the image. When the progressive function is turned on, one screen is displayed using image signals per two interlace signals, improving the vertical resolution of the image. Turn off the progressive function when flickering and horizontal lines are noticeable on a fast-moving picture.
Resolution
The number of dots (horizontal dots x vertical dots) that can be displayed on a computer is called “resolution of display”. Resolution indicates the size of the display area (amount of information).

XGA 1024 x 768 (4:3)
Number of pixels in each resolution
Selecting SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050 dots) as the display resolution of the computer allows this projector to project high-resolution images. If your computer does not have the SXGA+ option, select the maximum resolution among the selectable options.
Gamma Correction
A tone adjustment system used during projection of image data. The gamma correction function works effectively when portions of an image are obscure because they are too light or dark.
This projector supports manual gamma correction, automatic gamma correction, and dynamic gamma correction.
DVI-I
A digital video signal connection interface. This interface allows digital data to be sent and received without conversion to analog data, assuring high image quality with no signal degradation. The DVI-I (integrated) connector can be used to send and receive analog RGB video signals in addition to digital signals.
