Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables
you to enjoy a much larger image when a smaller space
is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror
system. If you're using a mirror system and your image
is inverted, use the MENU and 5643 buttons on your
projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the
orientation. (→page 59)
