Placement
Placement Styles
As shown in the figures below, this device can be placed in 4 different styles.
The factory setting is "floor-mounted front projection." Set the Projection mode in the default setting menu p.32, in accordance with your needs.




WARNING
• Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS when placing the unit. Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, thus resulting in injury.
- If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident.
- If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.
Projection Distance and Size
Use the figures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and projection distance. (Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone adjustment.)

a is the distance (m) between the lens and the screen, and corresponds to a range of 1.15 m to 10.00 m. H is the height from the image bottom to the center of the lens.
| a (min length) = projection size (inches) - 1.516/29.85 |
| a (max length) = projection size (inches) - 1.264/24.88 |
