 Setting Up the Screen and the Projector
Selecting a Location (LV-7265)
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be 
is approximately 25" measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 1.1 m (3.7’) from the wall or screen. The 
largest the image can be is 300" when the projector is about 8.8 m (29.1’) from the wall or screen. Use the drawing 
below as a guide.

2. Installation and Connections
Selecting a Location (LV-7260/LV-X7)
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be 
is approximately 25" measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 1.1 m (3.7’) from the wall or screen. The 
largest the image can be is 300" when the projector is about 8.8 m (29.1’) from the wall or screen. Use the drawing 
below as a guide.
NOTE:
This projector can be hung from the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side down.
When a translucent screen is used, the projector can project an image from behind the screen (Rear).
When the projector is hung from the ceiling or projector projects an image from behind the screen, the image must be inverted 
vertically or horizontally. See page 
49.
• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. LV-CL11) are required. TIP:
•   For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table on page 
68, 69.
•   The sizes in the above table have been  obtained assuming that the aspect ratio is 4:3. They may vary from the actual sizes 
depending on the type of the projected image.
•   The Zoom lever adjusts the image size (diagonal) +/- 30%.

2. Installation and Connections
WAR N I N G
•  Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done 
by a qualified technician. Contact your dealer for 
more information.
•  Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
•  Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If 
the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured 
and the projector severely damaged.
•  Do not use the projector where temperatures vary 
greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures 
between 41˚F (5˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C). (Quiet mode 
selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°
C).
•  Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or 
smoke. This will harm the screen image.
•  Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around 
your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover 
the vents on the side or the front of the projector.Refl ecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image en-
ables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your 
dealer if you need a mirror system. If you're using a 
mirror system and your image is inver ted, use the 
MENU and SELECT 
 buttons on your projec-
tor cabinet or your remote control to correct the orien-
tation. See page 
49.

2. Installation and Connections

 Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby 
mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered 
up.
*  If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computers screen-saver or power man-
agement software.

NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come 
on or off. For more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available 
scan converter. 
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
*  When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fi ll the screen and then press the AUTO PC button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

2. Installation and Connections
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal (LV-7265)
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI digital cable (not supplied) 
before turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector fi rst and select Computer 2 (Digital) from the source 
menu before turning on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. 
Should this happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI digital cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected 
and then reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
•  Use a DVI digital cable or the one compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revi-
sion 1.0 standard. The DVI digital cable should be within 5 m (196) long. Both single and dual types of DVI digital cable can 
be used.
•  The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), SXGA (1280x1024 @ up 
to 60Hz) and SXGA+ (1400x1050 @ up to 60Hz).
