• “Projector Connections” p.21

Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
Note the following points when selecting a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy and level surface.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.

• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle.
  If you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting keystone distortion using the projector controls. For the best quality images, we recommend adjusting the installation position of the projector to achieve the correct image size and shape.

Warning

• Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or humidity, or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric shock to occur.

Warning

• Do not cover the projector’s air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
• Do not use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air filter may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or fire.
• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.
• Do not use the projector on a flammable surface (such as a newspaper, plastic sheet, or carpet) or an electric carpet. The high heat generated by the projector could deform or discolor them, resulting in a fire.
• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
• Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.
• When using the projector outdoors at night, be careful not to trip over any extension power cords you are using. Otherwise, the projector could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.

Attention

• Do not operate the projector on its side. This may cause the projector to malfunction.

• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1,500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector’s menu to ensure the projector’s internal temperature is regulated properly.
  Settings > Operation > High Altitude Mode

• Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Warning Labels
This product comes with warning labels.As with any bright source, do not stare into the beam, RG2 IEC/EN 624715:2015.
Glossary
This section briefly explains the difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.

Aspect Ratio| The ratio between an image’s length and its height.
Screens with a horizontal:vertical ratio of 16:9, such as HDTV screens, are known as wide screens.
SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
---|---
Contrast| The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called contrast adjustment.
Full HD| A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,920 (horizontal) × 1,080 (vertical) dots.
HDCP| HDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect copyrights by encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI ports.
Because the HDMI port on this projector supports HDCP, it can project digital images protected by HDCP technology.
However, the projector may not be able to project images protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP encryption.
HDMI™| An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI™  is a standard aimed at digital consumer electronics and computers. This is the standard by which HD images and multichannel audio signals are digitally transmitted.
By not compressing the digital signal, the image can be transferred at the highest quality possible. It also provides an encryption function for the digital signal.
HDTV| An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high- definition systems which satisfy the following
conditions:
•   Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = Progressive, I = Interlace)
•   Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
Interlace| Transmits information needed to create one screen by sending every other line, starting from the top of the image and working down to the bottom.
Images are more likely to flicker because one frame is displayed every other line.
---|---
Progressive| Projects information to create one screen at a time, displaying the image for one frame.
Even though the number of scan lines is the same, the amount of flicker in images decreases because the volume of information has doubled compared with an interlace system.
Refresh Rate| The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time.
Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element.
The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV| An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for HDTV High- Definition Television.
SVGA| A screen size standard with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots.
SXGA| A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) × 1,024 (vertical) dots.
Sync.| The signals output from computers have a specific frequency.
If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality.
The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization.
If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.
VGA| A screen size standard with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots.
XGA| A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots.
WXGA| A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) × 800 (vertical) dots.
