A
Projector Installation
This appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a
permanent location, such as a theater or conference room.
The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front
projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection onto a semi-transparent
screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:
To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting
hardware; see page 13 for ordering information. You’ll also need to
select
Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling as the Projection option of the
projector’s Extended menu to flip the image upside-down. To project
from the rear, onto a semi-transparent screen, select
Rear or
Rear/Ceiling (see page 134).
If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above
screen level, you’ll have to tilt the projector down to position the
image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape.

warning
When installing or adjusting
the ceiling mount, do not use
adhesives to prevent the screws
rom loosening and do not use
any type of oil or lubricant.
These may cause the projector
casing to crack and the
projector may fall, causing
serious injury and serious
damage to the projector.
