Preparing the Projector
This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installation Methods
The projector supports the following four different projection methods.
Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.
•Project images from in front of
the screen. (Front projection)
•Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear projec‐
tion)
•Suspend the projector from a
wall or ceiling and project im‐
ages from in front of a screen.
(Front/Ceiling projection)
•Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
behind a translucent screen.
(Rear/Ceiling projection)
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector
from a wall or ceiling. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an
accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives on the wall mount plate fixing points or the ceiling
mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use
things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may
crack causing it to fall from its mount. This could cause serious injury to
anyone under the mount and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the
screws from loosening and do not use lubricant or oil and so on.
Attention
•Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
a
•When installing the projector on a wall or on the ceiling, make sure
you use the correct tools for the installation method.
s"Optional Accessories" p.118
•You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V
Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.
