If you place the projector below screen level, you may need to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. Tilting the projector causes the image to become "keystone" shaped, but you can correct the distortion (see page 33). You can also install the projector in three other viewing setups: ceiling projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection.
