Ambient Light
Whenever you have a choice, light the room from the rear, away from the projection screen. The MP8660 has
a brightness adjustment to achieve the best image possible.
Distance to Viewing Screen
The MP8660 can be used in a small or large meeting room to project a quality image from 51 cm (20 inches)
to 762 cm (300 inches) in size. The distance between the projector and the viewing screen and the zoom lense
setting (minimum to maximum) will determine the size of the projected image. Refer to the Technical
Appendix to determine how far away from the viewing screen you need to place the projector to fill the screen
with the projected image.
Remember that increasing the projector-to-screen distance also decreases the images brightness dramatically.
In other words, as the image grows larger, it also grows dimmer.
For best results, experiment to find the right combination of projector-to-screen distance and room lighting.
Carrying Handle
The MP8660 has a carrying handle that folds into the top of the projector housing.  To raise the handle, push
up on the back end of the handle (Figure 3-14) and then lift upward.
Figure 3-14. Unfolding Handle
Ceiling Mount Considerations
An optional ceiling mount bracket (Figure 3-15) is
required to install the MP8660 from the ceiling.  For
this type of installation, the image must be vertically
and horizontally  inverted.
See section 9-1 to order the ceiling mount kit.

Adjusting the Projector Elevation
The elevation can be adjusted by turning the foot adjuster (Figure 3-16) to raise or lower the angle of the
projector.
Figure 3-16. Foot Adjusters
 Note
Both adjusting feet must be raised or lowered the
same amount to project a level image on the
viewing screen.  The elevation can be adjusted
from approximately 0.4 to 7.2 degrees.
Rear Projection
A semi-transparent screen (Figure 3-17) can be used to project an image and view it from the backside of the
viewing screen.  For this type of installation, the image must be horizontally inverted.
Viewing
 Side
The projected light beam has
an off-center ratio of 80%
above and 20% below the
center of the lens.90
