English - 14 Screen Requirements This Projector is used to project the image onto flat screens. However, the brightness and viewable range will vary depending on which type of screen is used. When selecting a screen, check the characteristics of the screen to ensure that it is suitable for the intended place of use. Screen characteristics (reference) Screen type Screen characteristics White screen This type of screen can be seen from anywhere, so there are no limits on the viewing position. However, the surrounding walls should be darkened as in a movie theater, otherwise a clear picture cannot be obtained. Silver screen Beaded screen This type of screen gives a picture which is 2-4 times brighter than a white screen. A variety of types are available from different manufacturers, and each type has different brightness characteristics. Some also have restrictions on the possible range of viewing positions.

* Care should be taken with screens that have a high gain, as these types of screen can cause color distortion at the left and right edges.

* This type of screen is recommended when the Projector is suspended from the ceiling. This type of screen is similar to the silver screen, except that no color distortion occurs at the left and right edges. Moreover, most of the light is reflected at the same angle as the angle of incidence.

* This type of screen is recommended when the Projector is placed on the floor. White screen Silver screen Maximum brightness Beaded screen Brightness decline Maximum brightness Flexible translucent screen This type of screen is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It has the same characteristics as silver screens, but sometimes it can have hot spots. Rigid-type translucent screen This type of screen is made of acrylic plastic. It is extremely durable and has excellent optical characteristics. It performs in the same way as silver screens. Note A Polarized screen can not be use for this LCD Projector, because its polarizing effect will add to the polarization already designed into the Projector (to increase its efficiency). The resulting image will not appear in its true color. English - 15 s n e e r c s e v i t c e l f e R s n e e r c s t n e c u l s n a r T Standard Setting-up Positions The screen should be positioned so that it is not directly touched by sunlight or room light as this will wash out the colors of the picture making it hard to see. When possible, close all blinds, curtains, etc. and dim the lights. Also, the LCD Projector should be at a 90 angle to the screen for the best picture results. To determine the distance for the desired size, please refer to the LCD Projector/Screen Relationship Chart below.

(By using the tele zoom feature, you can increase the throw distance.) When installed using the ET-
