FRONT/REAR
This setting should be changed in
accordance with the projector
setting-up method.
Set to “FRONT” when using a
normal reflective screen with the
projector positioned in front of the
screen, and set to “REAR” when
using a translucent screen with the
projector positioned behind the
screen.
DESK/CEILING
This setting should be changed in
accordance with the projector
setting-up method.
Set to “DESK” when setting up the
projector on a desk or similar, and
set to “CEILING” when suspending
the projector from the ceiling using
the ceiling bracket which is sold
separately.
LAMP POWER
This setting changes the lamp
brightness. When set to “LOW”, the
luminance of the lamp is reduced,
but the projector uses less power,
and the operating noise is also
reduced.
The LOW position is recommended
for narrow rooms where a high
picture luminance is not essential or
for watching movies.
