Press down the tab on the cover and pull the cover in the direction of the arrow. 2. Insert the included batteries. Ensure that the polarities correctly match the and markings inside the battery compartment. 3. Insert the lower tab of the cover into the opening, and press down the cover until it clicks in place. Notes on Batteries When installing batteries, make sure that the battery polarities are correct. Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. 3Installation
Installation 14 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Notes on Remote Control Operation The remote control can be used to control the projector within the ranges shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Available Range of the Remote Control For best results, hold the remote control within 23 feet (7m) of the back or top sensor and aligned within 30°. Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature. The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the projector away from the fluorescent lamp. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the projector. If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation. ➤ The signal from the remote control can be reflected by the screen. 30° 45°23(7 m) 45° 30° 23(7 m) Note

Installation 16 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation Type Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Ambient Light In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. Other Considerations Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators. ➤ Table 3-2.

Installation Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual 17 PREL IMINARY Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. • The Vision 10 has a lens throw ratio of between 1.40 and 1.60. • The Vision 12 has a lens throw ratio of between 1.42 and 1.65. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. For example, with an 8-foot (96-inch) wide screen: The Vision 10 has a throw distance range of between 134.4 inches (3.41 meters) and 153.6 inches (3.90 meters). The Vision 12 has a throw distance range of between 136.3 inches (3.46 meters) and 158.4 inches (4.02 meters). Figure 3-2. Estimating Throw Distance Estimating Throw Distance (TD) Vision Model 10 Minimum TD = Screen Width x 1.40 Maximum TD = Screen Width x 1.60 Vision Model 12 Minimum TD = Screen Width x 1.42 Maximum TD = Screen Width x 1.65
Installation 18 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Vertical and Horizontal Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3. Projector Placement Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-3, you can use the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5. Figure 3-4.

Installation 20 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Table 3-3 gives the lens shift limits for the Vision 10 and Vision 12, as percentages and absolute measurements with a 96 x 54 inch (1.78:1) screen. Adjusting the Projection Angle If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount. For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust the projector height and/or projection angle. If you do this, you may need to shift the image or apply keystone correction using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 32. Table 3-3.

Horizontal shift limits are percentages of the screen width. 3. Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount configurations. For floor installations (where the projector is upright), reverse the up/down vertical offset percentages. ➤
