Here are some general guidelines: · · Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.49m) from the projection screen. Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object. If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see "Ceiling" on page 38. We recommend using an authorized ceiling mount. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. The top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image sizes at different distances, see "Projected Image Size" on page 43. The image offset is 127.3% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 2.73' above the center of the lens.

There is also an audio input via the red and white A/V connectors. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can connect the audio to your stereo system via the Audio Out connector. You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner. Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector's Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the projector's Picture Menu. See page 33 for more information. 16:9 aspect ratio 9 4:3 image input Native aspect ratio 4:3 image on 16:9 screen 3 9 4 16 16:9 image input 9 16:9 image 16 16 What is Aspect Ratio? Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. This projector is not intended for use with 4:3 screens. When in 4:3 mode the projector places black bars on both sides of the image. Native mode centers the image and turns off the internal scaler so that any resolution larger than 854x480 is cropped on the edges. Letterbox expands the image to fill the screen. If you are projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don't have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. For example, most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a 16:9 screen, then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies and HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using either 4:3 or Native for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television. 4:3 image input 4:3 image on 16:9 screen black bars 4:3 aspect ratio 9 4 letterbox image input black bars 16 16:9 image fills 16:9 screen letterbox aspect ratio 3 black bars 9 4 16 15 black bars 3 Video device connections Composite (RCA) video connection Plug the provided composite A/V cable's yellow connector into the videoout connector on the video device.
