5. Setup

5.1 Placement

Consider the following when placing your projector:

• Projection Surface: Project onto a flat, white, or light-colored surface for best results. A dedicated projector screen is recommended.
• 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

1. Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Power inlet on the rear of the projector.
2. 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.

7.1 Cleaning the Projector

• 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.

7.2 Lamp Replacement

The projector lamp has a finite lifespan. When the lamp life indicator appears or the image brightness significantly decreases, the lamp may need replacement.
