Using the Projector Follow the instructions in this section to choose a location for the projector, adjust the picture, control projector operation, and use the menu system. Choosing a Location You can set up the projector for these four viewing arrangements: Front/Ceiling Rear/Ceiling Front Rear If you install the projector in a rear or overhead position, you need to invert and/or mirror the image by selecting the correct Projection option (see page 20). Professional installation is recommended if you want to attach the projector to the ceiling. Ideally, place the projector at a height so its lens is between the top and bottom of the screen. That way, you can keep the projector level and use the vertical lens shift dial to position the image (see page 13). This produces the best-looking picture. If you place the projector above or below screen level, you have to tilt it up or down to aim the image at the screen; this distorts the shape of the image, but you can correct it with the projector's Keystone function (see page 14).
