Introduction 15Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 22.5 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.Replacing the remote control battery1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, push on the finger grip on the cover and slide it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated. The cover will slide off.2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery comparent. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and sliding it back down into position. Stop when it clicks into place.• Avoid excessive heat and humidity. • There may be battery damage if the battery is incorrectly replaced. • Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.• Dispose of the used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.• Never throw a battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion. • If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the battery to prevent damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.• Operating the projector from the front • Operating the projector from the rearApprox. 22.5°Approx. 22.5°
Positioning your projector16Positioning your projectorChoosing a locationYour 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.Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1. Front TableSelect 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.2. Front CeilingSelect this location with the projector suspended upside-down 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 Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.3. Rear TableSelect this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen.Note that a special rear projection screen is required.Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.4. Rear CeilingSelect this location with the projector suspended upside-down 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 Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.
Positioning your projector 17Obtaining a preferred projected image sizeThe distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in the projected image size.The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects at a slightly downward angle.You can see from the diagram on page 19, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image.If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are proportional to the projection distance.BenQ has provided a table of screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).
Positioning your projector18How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size1. Select your screen size.2. Refer to the table on page 19 and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "Screen size". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding distance from screen value in the column labelled "Distance from screen (mm)". This is the projection distance.3. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical offset (mm)" value. This will determine the final vertical offset placement of the projector in relation to the edge of the screen.4. The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.For example, If you are using the MP780 ST+ and a 120-inch screen, the projection distance is 1293 mm and with a vertical offset of 264 mm.How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distanceThis method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room. 1. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance.2. Refer to the table on page 19 and find the closest match to your measurement in the column labelled "Distance from screen (mm)". 3. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding "Screen size" listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance.4. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical offset (mm)" value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to the horizontal plane of the projector. For example, if you are using the MP780 ST+ and your measured projection distance is 2.0 m (2000 mm), the closest match in the column is 1616 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 150-inch screen is required.If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting keystone" on page 33 on page for details.
Positioning your projector 19Projection dimensionsRefer to "Dimensions" on page 99 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.MP780 ST+MW860USTiThere is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install Screen sizeDistance from screen (mm) Vertical offset (mm)Diagonal W(mm)H(mm)Inch mm40 1016 862 538 431 8850 1270 1077 673 539 11060 1524 1292 808 646 13280 2032 1723 1077 862 176100 2540 2154 1346 1077 220120 3048 2585 1615 1293 264150 3810 3231 2019 1616 330200 5080 4308 2692 2154 440250 6350 5385 3365 2693 550300 7620 6462 4039 3231 660Screen sizeDistance from screen (mm) Vertical offset (mm)Diagonal W(mm)H(mm)Inch mm40 1016 862 538 294 6750 1270 1077 673 381 8460 1524 1292 808 468 10180 2032 1723 1077 642 135100 2540 2154 1346 817 168120 3048 2585 1615 991 202150 3810 3231 2019 1253 252200 5080 4308 2692 1689 337250 6350 5385 3365 2125 421300 7620 6462 4039 2561 50516:10 screen diagonalProjection distanceCenter of lensScreenVertical offset
