Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector.

• "Installing Batteries in the Remote Control" p.19
• "Projector Connections" p.21

Projector Placement 16
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
Note the following points when selecting a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy and level surface.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and
do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle.
aIf you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct
any resulting keystone distortion using the projector controls. For the
best quality images, we recommend adjusting the installation position
of the projector to achieve the correct image size and shape.
Warning
• Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or
humidity, or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a
fire or electric shock to occur.
Warning
• Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are
covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
• Do not use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or
dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air filter
may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or fire.
• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the
weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing
an accident and injury.
• Do not use the projector on a flammable surface (such as a newspaper, plastic
sheet, or carpet) or an electric carpet. The high heat generated by the projector
could deform or discolor them, resulting in a fire.
• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling
to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent
accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and
injury.
• Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject
to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion
could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.
• When using the projector outdoors at night, be careful not to trip over any
extension power cords you are using. Otherwise, the projector could fall or
topple causing an accident and injury.

Projector Placement 17
Attention
• Do not operate the projector on its side. This may cause the projector to
malfunction.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1,500 m, set the High Altitude
Mode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's internal
temperature is regulated properly.
sSettings >Operation >High Altitude Mode
• Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or
in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Precautions on Installation
Note the following precautions when installing the projector.
Installation space
Attention
• Be sure to leave the following amount of space around the projector so as not to
block the air exhaust and intake vents.
• Do not install the projector in a location that does not allow air to circulate, such
as on a shelf or in a box.
A10 cm
B20 cm
C30 cm
Projector Setup and Installation Options

menu according to the installation method being used.

• "Projection Modes" p.30
Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the
approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the
projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor,
aspect ratio, and other settings.
See the Appendix for details about how far to place the projector from the
screen based on the size of the projected image.
aWhen correcting keystone distortion, your image is slightly smaller.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control 19
The remote control uses the two AAA batteries that came with the projector.
Attention
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions before handling the batteries.
aRemove the battery cover as shown.
bRemove the old batteries, if necessary.
aDispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
cInsert the batteries with the +and –ends facing as shown.
Warning
Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to
ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way. If the batteries are not used
correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the
product.
dReplace the battery cover and press it down until it clicks into place.

Remote Control Operation
The remote control lets you control the projector from almost anywhere in
the room.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control 20
Make sure that you aim the remote control at the projector's receivers within
the distance and angles listed here.
a• Avoid using the remote control in conditions with bright fluorescent
lights or in direct sunlight, or the projector may not respond to
commands. If you are not going to use the remote control for a long
time, remove the batteries.
