15Positioning your projector

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Before 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 equipment

The projected image size and vertical offset depend on how far you place the projector, and the

zoom setting you choose. There is more information from

Projection dimensions on page 16

which can help decide exact distance and height of your projector.

You can install your projector in the following ways.

After turning on the projector, the projector will automatically select a suitable setting for the

way the projector is installed. If not, go to the Advanced menu - Installation > Projector

Position, press OK and press / to select a setting.

1. Front

Select this location with the projector

placed on the table in front of the screen.

This is the most common way to position

the projector for quick setup and

portability.

2. Front Ceiling

Select this location with the projector

suspended upside-down from the ceiling in

front of the screen. Purchase the BenQ

Projector Ceiling Mount Kit from your

dealer to mount your projector on the

ceiling.

3. Rear

Select this location with the projector

placed on the table behind the screen. Note

that a special rear projection screen is

required.

4. Rear Ceiling

Select this location with the projector

suspended upside-down from the ceiling

behind the screen. Note that a special rear

projection screen and the BenQ Projector

Ceiling Mount Kit are required for this

installation location.

16 Positioning your projector

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each

factors in the projected image size.

Projection dimensions

• The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the projected picture is in a 16:9 aspect ratio

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 3500

mm.

If your measured projection distance is 300 cm, the closest match in the

"Distance from screen

(mm)"

column is 2914 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 100'' (about 2.5 m) screen is

required. The projected image will be slightly higher/lower than the lens centerline with 125

mm vertical offset.

• *The vertical offset value is the vertical distance from the bottom edge of the image (when the projector

is placed on a table, diagram on the left), or top edge of the image (when the projector is ceiling

mounted, diagram on the right) to the centerline of lens.

• Due to the lens optical characteristics, every projector has its vertical offset ratio. The vertical offset

value normally gets larger while the projection distance increases.

17Positioning your projector

Mounting the projector

If you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting

BenQ projector 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

fall down 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

bracket and the security bar on the projector. This will perform the secondary role of

restraining the projector should 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 to fall 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-BenQ brand projector mounting kit.

• Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling mounted. If a heater is

used, the temperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected.

• Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque

exceeding 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.

To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by referring to the values listed in the

non-gray rows.

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

projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to

make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting

position so that it best suits your installation location.

18 Positioning your projector

20 Positioning your projector

Adjusting the projected image

Adjusting the projection angle

If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or

the screen and the projector are not

perpendicular to each other, the projected

image becomes trapezoidal. You can screw the

adjuster feet to fine-tune the horizontal angle.

To retract the feet, screw the adjuster feet in a

reverse direction.

Fine-tuning the image size and clarity

Do not look into the lens while the light source is on. The strong light from the light source may cause

damage to your eyes.

1. Adjust the projected image to the size that

you need using the zoom ring.

2. Sharpen the image by rotating the focus

Switching input signal

The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only

display one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the

available signals.

Be sure the Advanced menu - Display > Auto Source Search is On if you want the projector to

automatically search for the signals.

To manually select the source:

1. Press SOURCE/ . A source selection bar

appears.

2. Press / until your desired signal is selected

and press OK.

Once detected, the picture from the selected

source will appear. If there is multiple

equipment connected to the projector, repeat

steps 1-2 to search for another signal.

• The brightness level of the projected image will change accordingly when you switch between different

input signals.

• For best display picture results, you should select and use an input signal which outputs at the

projector’s native resolution. Any other resolutions will be scaled by the projector depending upon the

“aspect ratio” setting, which may cause some image distortion or loss of picture clarity. See Aspect

Ratio on page 41

The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you

can choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal picture

type.

Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for

environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the

projector in well lit rooms.

• Bright Cinema

Offers 100% REC709 color gamut at higher brightness level, this mode is

suitable for playing movies in a dim environment like living room with a

small amount of ambient light.

• AI Cinema

Automatically optimizes the image quality by adjusting parameters such

as saturation, brightness, contrast and picture mode in real time based on

changes of the projected content.

• Cinema

Offers 100% REC709 color gamut and deepest contrast at lower brightness

level, this mode is suitable for playing movies in a totally dark environment,

as if in a commercial cinema.

• FILMMAKER MODE

This mode is best for watching movies with accurate color and the deepest

contrast at lower brightness level in rooms with a bit of ambient light, as if

in a commercial cinema.

• When this mode is selected, 24P True Cinema will be set to On automatically .

• If FILMMAKER MODE is changed to others, 24P True Cinema will revert to the previous

setting.
