Installing
Notes on Installing
Warning
Ceiling mount installations
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If
it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent 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 ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the
projector.
•Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•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.
Warning
Class 2 laser product
•Do not look into the lens during projection. Also, do not look into the lens using optical devices (such as a
magnifying glass or telescope).
•Do not allow small children to make operations. If children do make operations, they must be accompanied
by an adult.
Caution
•When lifting the projector, be careful not to drop it as it is heavy and could cause an injury.
•When installing the projector on a shelf and so on, take additional measures to prevent it from falling, such
as securing with a wire. If it falls it could cause an injury.
Attention
•When lifting the projector, make sure you close the control panel.
•Do not apply excessive force to the control panel section. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•Make sure there is at least 20 cm between the wall and the projector's air intake vent.
•It is recommended that you clean the air filter periodically. Clean more frequently if you are using the projector
in a particularly dusty environment. sp.113

How to Install
The projector can be installed using a variety of methods, such as placing on a shelf or suspending from a
ceiling. Using the lens shift function gives you more flexibility to place the projector where you want.
s p.33
Placing on a shelf and projecting
You can install the projector in an AV rack or on a shelf in your living room to project images.
Suspending from the ceiling and projecting
You can suspend the projector from the ceiling creating a real theater-room atmosphere.
c
When projecting from a ceiling, change Projection to a ceiling setting. s Settings -

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Maximum Values
The size of the projection increases as the projector is moved away from the screen. Use the following table
to setup the projector so that it projects at the optimum size. The values given here are for your reference only.
You can also adjust the position by projecting using lens shift.
s p.33
The maximum lens shift adjustment values are shown in the following table.
When adjusting the projection position vertically in lens shift
A : Distance from the center of the lens to the bottom edge of the projected image (when lens shift is raised
to its highest level)
B : Distance from the center of the lens to the bottom edge of the projected image (whenlens shift is lowered
to its lowest level)
E : Projection distance from the projector to the screen
F : Size of the projected image
When adjusting the projection position horizontally in lens shift
C : Lens center movement distance when the projector is moved (when lens shift is set to maximum right)
D : Lens center movement distance when the projector is moved (when lens shift is set to maximum left)
E : Projection distance from the projector to the screen
F : Size of the projected image
