5. Setup
5.1 Placement
Consider the following when placing your projector:

- Distance: Adjust the projector's distance from the screen to achieve the desired image size. Refer to the projection distance chart (not provided, consult product specifications for typical throw ratios).
- Angle: Position the projector as perpendicular to the screen as possible to minimize keystone distortion.
- Ventilation: Ensure at least 30 cm (12 inches) of clear space around the projector's ventilation openings.
- Mounting: The projector supports Table Top, Ceiling Projection, and Rear Projection. Use appropriate mounting hardware for ceiling installations.
5.2 Connecting Power
- Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Power inlet on the rear of the projector.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
5.3 Connecting Input Sources
Connect your video and audio sources to the appropriate ports on the rear panel (refer to Figure 4.3 and 4.4).
- HDMI: Use the provided HDMI cable to connect your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, laptop) to either HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 port.
- VGA: Connect a computer to the VGA 1 or VGA 2 port using a VGA cable.
- USB: Insert a USB drive for media playback into the USB port.

- Exterior: Wipe the projector casing with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth slightly with water, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lens: Gently clean the lens with a professional lens cleaning cloth and lens cleaning fluid. Do not use abrasive materials or excessive force, as this can scratch the lens.
- Air Vents: Use a soft brush or a can of compressed air to remove dust from the air intake and exhaust vents. Ensure the projector is off and unplugged before cleaning vents.
