[Diagram: A visual representation of the projector, remote, power adapter, lens cover, and manual.]

Remove & Close The Lens Cover

[Diagram: Two illustrations showing the projector's front. One depicts removing the lens cover with an upward arrow labeled 'REMOVE' and 'LENS COVER'. The other shows attaching the lens cover with a downward arrow labeled 'CLOSE' and 'LENS COVER'.]

Placing of Your Projector

Your projector can be installed in four different configurations. The most common are:

Front Table Placement

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

[Diagram: Projector on a table in front of a screen, with people watching.]

Rear Table Placement

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen.

NOTE: A special rear projection screen is required for this setup.

[Diagram: Projector on a table behind a screen, with people watching.]

To Reduce Image Distortion

• Move the projector as close to the center of the screen as possible.
• The light beam from the projector should be perpendicular to the screen for a rectangular or square image.

Distance Between the Projector and Screen

Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance for reference.

[Diagram: Illustration showing a projector projecting a beam onto a screen, with labels for 'DISTANCE' and 'SCREEN SIZE'.]

Adjust The Focus And Keystone

Follow the illustration to adjust the focus and trapezoidal screen.

Adjust the focus by turning the knob while observing the image pixels near the center of the screen. Optimal focus is obtained when the pixels are clearly visible. Depending on the projected screen size, the focus near the screen edges may be less sharp than the screen center.

Keystone image is created when the projector lens is projected from above or below the center of the screen. Keystone correction restores the distorted image to a rectangular or square shape.
