Projector Positioning
Choosing a locationinstallation. Considerations include size and position of the screen, location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and other equipment.There are 4 potential installation locations for the projector:1. Front TableFor this location, the projector is placed right in front of the screen. This is the most commonly used position. It is quick to setup and highly mobile.2. Front CeilingFor this location, the projector is suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.Purchase a Projector Ceiling Mounting bracket from your dealer to mount your projector from the ceiling.After activating your projector, go to System Settings: Projector Position menu and set to Front Ceiling.3. Rear CeilingFor this location, the projector is suspended upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.Note that a special rear projection screen and Projector Ceiling Mounting bracket are required for this installation location.After activating your projector, go to System Settings: Projector Position menu and select Rear Ceiling.4. Rear TableFor this location, the projector is placed right behind the screen.Note that a special rear projection screen is required.After turning on the projector, go to System Settings: Projector Position menu and select Rear Table.You may refer to the room layout or personal preference to determine the location of

Connection
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:1. Turn all devices off before securing any connections.2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.3. In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included (please refer to “page 4 contents”). You may purchase the required signal cables from an electronics store.The following links and icons are for references only. Connection jacks at the back of the projectors may differ according to the projector model.1. VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) line2. Composite video line3. HDMI cable4. USB cable (mini-B to type A)5. VGA cable (D-Sub to D-Sub)6. RS-232 cable7.Audio cable21134567

13Connecting to Video source devicesYjack:• HDMI• Component video• Video (composite video)Only 1 of the aforementioned connection methods is required to connect the projector to the video source device. However, different connection methods would provide a different video quality. The connection method selected would be determined by the presence of matching jacks on the projector and Video source device:Best video qualityHDMI is the best video connection method aHDMI jacks, you will be able to acquire uncompressed digital video quality.Please refer to “Connecting to HDMI devices” for details on how to connect the projector to HDMI devices.If you don’t have any usable HDMI source, the next best video signal would be Component Video (not to be confused with Composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players are provided with Component Video output sockets. If your device includes Component Video, then this would be your primary choice of connection to the (composite) video.Please refer to “To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:” for details on how to connect your projector to Component Video devices. Least video qualityComposite optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.Please refer to “Connecting to composite video source devices” for details on how to connect your projector to composite video Connect to the computer or monitorConnect to the computer1. Use the VGA cable provided. Plug one end to the D-Sub output jack at the com-puter end.2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER signal input jack on the projector.Many notebooks have not activated their monitor jack after being connected to the monitor. The user can often press FN + F3 or CRT / LCD button to switch the externally connected monitor ON / OFF. Find the function key labeled with the CRT / LCD or monitor icon on the notebook. Press the FN key and the labeled function key.
