Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
Warning:
Do not mount the projector on a ceiling or a wall. It could fall and cause damage or injury. Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
- Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
- Do not place or install the projector vertically.
- 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.
- Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen, not at an angle, if possible.
- Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
Projector Setup and Installation Options
Projection Distance
Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)
