Positioning your projectorChoosing a locationBefore choosing an installation location for your projector, take the following factors into consideration: Size and position of your screen Electrical outlet location Location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipmentYou can install your projector in the following ways.1. Front2. Front CeilingSelect this location with the projector placed onthe table in front of the screen. This is the mostcommon way to position the projector for quicksetup and portability.Select this location with the projectorsuspended upside-down from the ceiling in frontof the screen. Purchase the BenQ ProjectorCeiling Mount Kit from your dealer to mountyour projector on the ceiling.3. Rear4. Rear CeilingSelect this location with the projector placed onthe table behind the screen. Note that a specialrear projection screen is required.Select this location with the projectorsuspended upside-down from the ceiling behindthe screen. Note that a special rear projectionscreen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling MountKit are required for this installation location.After turning on the projector, go to Advanced menu - Installation Projector Position, pressOK and press / to select a setting.Positioning your projector13

Obtaining a preferred projected image sizeThe distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factorsin the projected image size.Projection dimensions The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the projected picture is in a 16:9 aspect ratio16:9 Screen diagonalScreenCenter of lensHWVertical offsetScreen sizeDiagonalH 778872802032902286Projection distanceDistance from screen (mm)Vertical offset(Lowest/HighestMin lengthMax lengthW (mm)Average(max. zoom)(min. zoom) lens position) ning your projector

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 3799 mm.If your measured projection distance is 350 cm, the closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)"column is 3482 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 110'' (about 2.8 m) screen is required.To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by referring to the values listed in the non-grayrows.All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projectionsize and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for thisprojector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits yourinstallation location.Positioning your projector15

Mounting the projectorIf you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQprojector mounting kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may falldown due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.Before mounting the projector Purchase a BenQ projector mounting kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ recommends that you also use a security cable to secure both the base of the mounting bracketand the security bar on the projector. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projectorshould its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose. Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it tofall and result in injury. Take necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake. The warranty doesn’t cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQbrand projector mounting kit. Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling mounted. If a heater is used, thetemperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected. Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torqueexceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off. Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.16Positioning your projector

Adjusting the projected imageAdjusting the projection angleIf the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screenand the projector are not perpendicular to each other, theprojected image becomes trapezoidal. You can screw theadjuster feet to fine-tune the horizontal angle.Entertainment Gaming ProjectorTo retract the feet, screw the adjuster feet in a reversedirection.Do not look into the lens while the light source is on. The strong light from the light source may cause damage toyour eyes.Fine-tuning the image size and clarity1. Adjust the projected image to the size that you 2.

ConnectionWhen connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.A/V deviceHDMINotebook or desktop computerHDMI1 1USB Type-ARS-232243ScreenSpeakers651HDMI cable (with ferrite cores)2USB Type-A cable3SPDIF audio cable4RS-232 cable5Audio cable612V trigger cable In the connections above, some cables may not be included with the projector (see Shipping contents on page 7).They are commercially available from electronics stores. The connection illustrations are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks available on the projector vary witheach projector model. Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combolike FN function key with a monitor symbol turns the external display on/off. Press FN and the labeled functionkey simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination. If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has beenselected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cableshave been connected correctly.20Connection

If you are prompted for a password, press the arrow keys to enter a 6-digit password. See Utilizingthe password function on page 26.5. Switch all of the connected equipment on.6. The projector will search for input signals. The current input signal being scanned appears. If theprojector does not detect a valid signal, the message “No Signal” will appear until an input signal isfound.You can also pressto select your desired input signal. See Switching input signal on page 27. Please use the original accessories (e.g. power cord) to avoid possible dangers such as electric shock and fire. If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 90 seconds beforeenergizing the light source. The Setup Wizard screenshots are for reference only and may differ from the actual design. If the frequency/resolution of the input signal exceeds the projector's operating range, you will see the message“Out of Range” displayed on the background screen. Please change to an input signal which is compatible withthe projector's resolution or set the input signal to a lower setting. See Timing chart on page 53. If no signal is detected for 3 minutes, the projector automatically enters saving mode.22Operation
