How to install
4:3 Screen
16:9 Screen
There are four ways this unit can be installed:
installing on a tabletop in front of the screen,
mounting on the ceiling in front of the screen,
installing on a tabletop behind a semi-translucent screen,
mounting on the ceiling behind a semi-translucent screen.
It is necessary to set the installation method for “INSTALLATION” in the menu group 4  on the menu described later. (See page
17.)

Screen and projection distance
The ideal position (projection distance [L]) to install this unit is determined by the screen aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) and the size (length of the
diagonal line across the screen). It is possible to adjust the projection distance within the range from Wide to Tele. by using the zoom
function. Use the following information as illustrated in the figure below to determine the best position for installation.

How to install

Screen setting
The screen height depends on your screen size. This unit projects
facing slightly upward, although projecting symmetrically about
the lens center on the horizontal axis. The following charts show
the height [H] from the lens center to the screen bottom. Consider
dimension [H] when determining the position to set your screen.

Adjusting with “DIGITAL LENS SHIFT”
When “SCREEN ASPECT” in the menu group 4  on
the menu is set to “16:9”, the projected image can be vertically
adjusted within the range shown on the right by digitally changing
[H] (the height from the lens center to the screen bottom). See page
17.

Setting “SCREEN ASPECT”
It is necessary to set the screen aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) depending on your screen in order to properly project images on the entire area of
the screen. When the 16:9 screen is used and “SCREEN ASPECT” is set to “16:9”, it is possible to project 4:3 video signals on the entire
screen without losing any part of the image off screen. It is also possible to adjust the projected image vertically as described in the next
section. See “SCREEN ASPECT” in the menu group 4  described on page 17.

INSTALLATION
2.Mounting on the ceiling
A ceiling mount bracket (optional) is needed for mounting this unit on the ceiling. Consult with your local authorized dealer or any reliable
contractor to mount this unit on the ceiling.
The vertically reversed illustration of the screen installation position shown page 6 helps determine how far the screen should be set from the
ceiling. The height can be determined by adding [H] described on page 6 and the height of the ceiling mount bracket [C] as shown in the
following illustration. When this unit is installed on the ceiling, “FRONT/CEILING” in the menu group 4  must be selected on
the menu. (See page 17.) The projected image can be vertically adjusted within a certain range by changing the value in “DIGITAL LENS
SHIFT” on the menu when “SCREEN ASPECT” on the menu is set to “16:9”. See page 6 for details.
3.Rear projection
You can watch images projected on the back of a semi-translucent screen while sitting on the other side of the screen. The screen position can
be determined by simply following the front setting procedures described above. For this setting, “REAR/TABLE” or “REAR/CEILING”
must be selected for “INSTALLATION” in the menu group 4  on the menu. (See page 17.)

Table height
This unit projects images when set on a tabletop with a certain
height in front of the screen. The table height and [H] described on
page 6 must be determined first to decide on how high the screen
should be set for the best result. The height from this unit’s bottom
to the lens center is 8 cm (3-1/8 inch). The position of the screen
(the height from the floor to the screen bottom) can be easily
determined by adding these three figures.
For example, if you are setting this unit on a tabletop with a height
of 50 cm (20 inch), you need to set your screen at a height of  from the
floor.
Adjusters
Adjusting with the adjusters
When this unit is installed on a tabletop, the position of the image
can be adjusted by using the adjusters located at the bottom front of
this unit.
Adjust the height by rotating the movable part of the two screw-
type adjusters at the front bottom of this unit. The adjustment range
of these adjusters is 2.5 cm (1 inch). If loosened completely, they
will come off.

tion and connection have been completed.
Detailed settings must be made for installation, screen, input signal
and so on, by following the menu setting procedure described in
the section starting on page 15.

Turning on the power
Remove the lens cap before starting any operation of this unit.
1.Plug the supplied power cord into the AC inlet on the
rear of this unit. Then plug the cord into the wall
outlet.
2.Turn on the power switch of this unit. The 
indicator lights up in red in a few seconds.
3.Press the STANDBY/ON button, the  indicator
flashes in green and the lamp inside this unit lights
up.
The 
 indicator stops flashing and lights steadily after about
15 seconds and this unit is ready for projection.
Important

 Notes 
•When an ordinary video signal or an interlaced video signal of a 24-
frame/second film is input, the interlace/progressive (i/p) conversion
circuit built into this unit automatically identifies the type of signals. If
the signals of a film is input, the 24P indicator lights up in blue. Some
contents cannot be correctly detected.
•When the interlaced video signals of a film is input, this unit detects it
and the 24P indicator lights up in blue.
•When the signal from an A/V component or computer is input, it does
not go through i/p conversion, and the 24P indicator does not light up in
this case.
•This unit is compatible with VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA for the
RGB signal from a computer. It is recommended to set to XGA to enjoy
clearer images when the screen aspect ratio is set to “4:3”.
•When this unit is set to display the output signals on both the LCD of a
notebook computer and on an external monitor, the image may not be
correctly displayed on the external monitor. In this case, set this unit to
display on only the external monitor. Refer to the operation instructions
of the computer for details.

STILL—freezing the image
Press the STILL button on the remote control to capture the desired
frame of a moving image. This function can be effectively used to
adjust the image quality. Press the STILL button again to resume
normal projection.

HIDE—turning off the image temporarily
Press the HIDE button on the remote control to turn off the image
temporarily. Press the HIDE button again to bring back the image
that has been turned off.

Selecting “ASPECT”
“ASPECT” selects the most appropriate way of displaying the image on the screen for the six common types of signals listed below.
Available parameters for “ASPECT” change depending on the “SCREEN ASPECT” setting. This unit has the “AU TO” mode which auto-
matically detects the type of signals and changes the display aspect. This mode is effective when information about the signal type is
included in the signal.
Press the ASPECT button for the desired display aspect.
