Installing the Projector

The projector can be installed for three different viewing setups: front
projection, ceiling mounting, or rear projection onto a
semi-transparent screen, as shown:

To project from overhead, you’ll need to select

Ceiling

in the

projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select

Rear

Proj

. See “Setting Advanced Features” on page 53.

If you’re ceiling-mounting the projector and you place it above screen
level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the image on-screen. This
causes the image to lose its square shape. You can then correct the
distortion by using the

Keystone

function in the projector’s menu

system (see “Customizing Projector Features” on page 51) or by using
the

Keystone

button on the projector’s control panel.

If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the screen,
the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place
the lens lower than the top of the screen, you’ll have to tilt the
projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.

Controlling the Projector from a Computer

If you want to be able to control the projector’s settings from a
computer, you can install the EMP Link V program on the Projector
Software CD-ROM. You’ll also need a serial cable to connect the
projector to the computer.
