Obtaining a preferred projected picture size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, and the video format each factors in the 
projected picture size.
The native resolution of the projector is 800 x 600 pixels, which is a 4 to 3 aspect ratio 
(expressed as 4:3). To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio picture, 
the projector can resize and scale a widescreen picture to the projectors native aspect width. 
This will result in a...

offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).
How to determine the position of the projector for a given 
screen size
1. Select your screen size.
2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns
