Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
Warning: Note the following points when installing on a ceiling with a ceiling mount or in a high location. If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents.
  • Since special techniques are required to install the projector on a ceiling and to handle the ceiling mount, make sure you contact a professional.
  • Secure the mount with bolts using the handle securing section (6 points) on the top or base of the projector.
  • To prevent the projector from falling, thread sufficiently strong wire rope and so on through the ceiling mount and secure to the ceiling.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
Caution:
Be sure to leave at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space in front of the air exhaust and intake vents.
You can place the projector on its side to project a portrait image by attaching the optional mounting handle to the top of the projector. You can also remove the feet from the projector and attach them to the handles as shown here.
Caution:
If you are setting up the projector with the intake vent on the bottom, be sure to leave the following amount of space around the projector.
1 3.9 inches (10 cm)
2 31.5 inches (80 cm)
3 13.78 inches (35 cm)

If you are installing multiple projectors next to each other, be sure to leave at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the projectors. Also, make sure heated air from an exhaust vent does not go into the air intake vent of another projector.

If you are stacking two projectors on top of one another, follow these guidelines:
