Projection size

Projection distance [L]
Min [wide] Max [telephoto]
Height from the edge of screen

Projection distance for 4:3 aspect ratio screen
unit: meters (feet)
NOTE:
• The value for H (the height from the edge of the screen to the centre of the lens) is the value when the horizontal optical axis shift function is
not used. The value decreases when the horizontal optical axis shift function is used. For details, see Shift range on page 7.
• The value for L (distance to screen) varies slightly depending on the zoom lens characteristics.
• At the shortest projection distance, the zoom lens characteristics may cause slight image distortion.
• When vertical keystone correction is used, the image is corrected in the direction that reduces its projected size.
• The brightness varies depending on the zoom setting.

Calculation of the projection distance
For a screen size different from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance.
Aspect ratio 4:3
minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) × 0.0305 – 0.049
maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) × 0.0604 – 0.050
NOTE:
Distances calculated with the above equations will include a slight error.

Shift range
Optical axis shift function allows to shift the position of a projected image as shown below.
Installable angle
Install the projector at an angle within the range shown below.
• Vertical direction
The projector may be installed at a vertical
angle of 30°.
• Horizontal direction
The projector may not be angled horizontally.

List of compatible signals
The signals that can be input to this projector are shown in the table below. Horizontal scanning fre-
quencies of 15.6 kHz to 91.1 kHz, vertical scanning frequencies of 24.0 Hz to 85.1 Hz, and a dot clock
of 162 MHz maximum can be input.
NOTE: The native resolution of this projector is 1,024 × 768 pixels. If the display resolution of the input signal is different from the
native resolution, image compression or expansion will be used to convert the input signal to a level within the native resolution.

CAUTION
• It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this occurs, wait for 60 sec-
onds, then try sending or receiving again.
• When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector before sending the next
command.
• Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for command response to 10
seconds or more.
• When using two or more units, set different IDs for each unit.

Notes on projector placement and operation
The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the
following precautions.
1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (19-11/16˝) or more around the projector’s
exhaust openings. In addition to this space, also ensure that there is a sufficient work space for
removing and installing the lamp, filter and other parts.
3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked)
projection. When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated below
between them. These space requirements also apply to installations where only one projector unit is
operating at one time and the other unit is used as a backup.
3. If the projector is installed in an enclosed space, ensure that the projector’s intake and exhaust
openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is
not sucked into the intake openings.
200 mm (7-7/8˝ ) or more
500 mm (19-11/16˝)
or more
500 mm (19-11/16˝)
or more
Do not stack projector
units directly on top of
one another.
100 mm
(3-15/16˝ )
or more
Operating the projector continuously
1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 10 hours or more, lamp replacement cycle duration
becomes shorter.
2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short
periods (one hour or less).
