Philips LC4242 - Manual (Page 8)

Positioning the projector and screen
• Place the projector on a stable, level surface, out of direct
sunlight and away from sources of excessive dust, dirt, heat,
water, moisture, vibration and strong magnetic fields.
Face the projector towards the screen for the best picture
results. To determine the distance for the desired size,
please refer to the Projection Assistant, a calculation
programme included on the CD-ROM.
• The screen should be positioned so that it is not directly
touched by sunlight or artificial light, as this will wash out the
colours of the picture, making it hard to see.
• The projector can be used for both front projection, rear
projection and ceiling projection applications. As default
factory setting, the projector has been set up for front
projection. You can change to rear or ceiling projection via the
OSD menu. See ‘Rear screen projection’ and ‘Ceiling-mount
projection’ under ‘Operation - Display and picture control’ for
further instructions.
• Choose a screen size suitable for the number of viewers and
the size of the room.
• Picture quality is best when you sit directly in front of the
projector screen.
