$$ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm {S W} (\mathrm {m}) = \mathrm {S D} (^ {\prime \prime}) \times 0. 0 2 1 5 \mathrm {S H} (\mathrm {m}) = \mathrm {S D} (^ {\prime \prime}) \times 0. 0 1 3 5 \ L W (m) = 0. 0 2 8 9 \times S D \left("\right) - 0. 0 4 6 L T (m) = 0. 0 5 7 6 \times S D \left("\right) - 0. 0 6 1 \ \end{array} $$

  • The results above are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual measurements.

NOTE:

See page 50 for the screen size and throw distance of 4:3/16:9.
- Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause malfunction of the projector.
- Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector body approximately ± 30^ vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component's life.
- For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light does not shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.
