■Installing the attachment plate
Depending on whether it is installed on a concrete or wooden ceiling structure, there are two different installation
methods. Carry out by the appropriate installation method which is suited to each ceiling.

1 Make holes in the ceiling surface for inserting the ceil-
ing mount bolts.
zThe sizes of the holes in the ceiling should match
the sizes of the mounting holes in the attachment
plate. (Refer to page 5 for attachment positions.)
2 Secure the ceiling mount bolts.
zCheck that the ceiling mount bolt locations are
strong enough to bear the full weight of the projec-
tor. If they are not strong enough, use reinforce-
ments while giving full consideration to the required
safety coefcient.
3 Secure the attachment plate to the ceiling mount bolts.
zIn the side of the attachment plate, the end of the
ceiling mount bolts should protrude from the hex
nuts by about 5 mm. Be sure to use the commercial-
ly available at washers and spring washers when
installing the attachment plate.
Attention
z Make sure the arrow displayed in the attachment
plate points toward the screen while attaching.
Attention
zUse only size M8 or 5/16"ceiling mount bolts, hex nuts, at washers and spring wash-
ers.
zAll bolts and nuts should be securely tightened, and sufcient measures such as using
two nuts or painting should be employed as necessary to prevent any loosening.

(Refer to page 5 for attachment positions.)
zWhen installing the anchoring nuts or curled plugs,
adhere strictly to the installation instructions supplied
by the manufacturer of the nuts, so they will
not loosen in the concrete structure or be dislodged
from the intended positions.
zCheck to make sure that the concrete ceiling struc-
ture can easily bear the whole weight of the projector
and the ceiling mount bracket.
If it is found to be fragile or degraded, use steel or
wooden reinforcements.
2 Secure the attachment plate to the ceiling mount bolts.
zIn the side of the attachment plate, the ends of the
ceiling mount bolts should protrude from the hex nuts
by about 5 mm. Be sure to use the commercially
available at washers and spring washers when
installing the attachment plate.

Adjusting the installation angle
zIt is possible to adjust the horizontal swing and also the horizontal and vertical tilt of the ceiling mount bracket.
zFor the projector with the lens shift function, check that the projector lens is in the standard position*1, and ad-
just the positioning of the projected image and the screen.
zWhile referring to the operating instructions for the projector, project a picture onto the screen and then adjust
the picture size and focus. After making these adjustments, adjust the ceiling mount bracket angle.
*1 For the projector with the lens shift function, standard position is a state when the lens position is in the center
(lens center).
■If the picture is too far to the left or right of the screen
1 Loosen the bracket xing screw in the attachment
plate, turn the projector right and left to perpendicu-
larly align the center of the screen with the center of
the image.
2 Once the picture is positioned correctly, securely
tighten the bracket xing screw with the ngers.
Attention
zDo not loosen the bracket xing screw too much,
otherwise the projector may fall down.
zFor the projector with the lens shift function, it can
also be adjusted by using the lens shift function.
■If the picture is too far to the top or bottom of the screen
1 Loosen the captive washer hex head bolts at the
sides of the projector mount bracket (one at each
side) and also loosen the angle xing screw (1), and
then move the rear of the projector up or down to
adjust the position of the picture with respect to the
screen.
2 Once the picture is positioned correctly, securely
tighten the captive washer hex head bolts (one at
each side) and the angle xing screw (1).
Attention
zDo not loosen the captive washer hex head bolts
and the angle xing screw too much, otherwise
the projector may fall down.
■If the picture is tilted to the left or right
1 Loosen the captive washer hex head bolts at the
front and rear of the projector mount bracket (two
at each end), and adjust the left and right tilt of the
projector, to correct the projected image.
2 Once the picture is positioned correctly, securely
tighten the captive washer hex head bolts (two at
each end).
Attention
zDo not loosen the captive washer hex head bolts
too much, otherwise the projector may fall down.
Note
zIf there is still vertical keystone distortion after adjusting the angle of the ceiling mount bracket and Keystone in
the Position on screen menu has not been adjusted, the screen and projector are not correctly aligned. Check
the standard installation dimensions while referring to “Standard installation dimensions” on the installation
instruction of the projector mount bracket. Or adjust keystone on the projector.
Attention
zAfter checking the position adjustments, check that the screws have been tightened to the torques specied on page 5.

Installation of ceiling mount bracket drop-prevention kit
Use the drop-prevention kit supplied with the projector mount bracket (sold separately) to prevent the projector
from falling.
Note
zFor attaching the wire rope to the projector, refer to the installation instructions for the separately sold projector
mount bracket.
The procedure in the following shows a case of installation on the concrete ceiling.
1 As shown in the gure on the left, pass the wire
rope through the hole between the attachment
plate and the adjustable bracket unit.
2 Mount the commercially available anchoring nut or
curled plug (M8 or 5/16") onto a sturdy concrete ceil-
ing (at the position shown in the gure on the left).
zIf it is to be attached to a wooden surface, mount
the commercially available ceiling mount bolts
onto the holes drilled in the wooden ceiling
beam, in the same manner as the procedure of
mounting the attachment plate described in the
page 6.
Attention
zWhen mounting the commercially available an-
choring nut or curled plug (M8 or 5/16"), be careful
that there is no slack between the projector and
the ceiling.
3 Tighten the commercially available hex head bolt
(M8 or 5/16") to the anchor, passing it through the
commercially available spring washer (M8 or 5/16"),
the supplied at washer (M8) on the projector
mount bracket, and the loop at the end of the wire
rope.
zIf it is to be attached to a wooden surface, pass
the loop at the end of the wire rope, the at
washer (M8) supplied with the projector mount
bracket, and a commercially available spring
washer (M8 or 5/16") through the attached ceiling
mount bolt and x with a commercially available
hex nut (M8 or 5/16").
