Remote control effective range  
Infra Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the projector.  
The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees of the projector’s IR remote  
control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the  
sensors should not exceed 6 meters (~ 20 feet).  
~ 6 M  
Notes on Remote Control Operation:  
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the  
projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.  
Installing or replacing the remote control battery

Positioning your projector  
Choosing a location  
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Floor in front of screen;  
Ceiling in front of screen;  
Floor at rear of screen;  
Ceiling at rear of screen.  
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.  
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power  
outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your  
equipment.  
I. Floor front  
Select this location with the projector placed near the  
floor in front of the screen. This is the most common  
way to position the projector for quick setup and  
portability.  
II. Ceiling front  
Select this location with the projector suspended from  
the ceiling in front of the screen.  
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit  
from your dealer to mount your projector on the  
ceiling.  
Set  
in the Advance > Mirror menu after you turn  
the projector on.  
III. Floor rear  
Select this location with the projector placed near the  
floor behind the screen.  
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.  
Set  
in the Advance > Mirror menu after you turn  
the projector on.  
IV. Ceiling rear  
Select this location with the projector suspended  
from the ceiling behind the screen.  
Note that a special rear projection screen and the  
BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required for  
this installation location.  
Set  
in the Advance > Mirror menu after you turn  
the projector on.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size  
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format  
each factors in the projected image size. BenQ has provided separate tables of dimensions  
for both 16:9 and 4:3 screen ratios to assist you in determining the ideal location for your  
projector.  
1.  
2.  
Determine the aspect ratio of your screen (4:3 or 16:9).  
Determine the projection distance allowed in your room. Install the projector at a  
proper distance from the screen.  
3.  
Refer to the table of 4:3 or 16:9 Screen Size depending on your screen ratio. Locate the  
suitable value in the column of “Distance from Screen. In the same row, you will find  
the maximum and minimum projected image sizes.  
4.  
Determine the preferred height of your projector.  
For example, if you are using a 4:3 screen with 2.5 meters projection distance, the maximum  
image size is close to 1.91 meters diagonal.  
If you place the projector above or below the screen, you have to tilt it down or up to center  
the image on the screen after turning the projector on. In these situations, some image  
distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See page 20 for  
keystone correction.
