Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
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.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of the possible installation locations:
For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount kit to be available for this projector. Ask a specialist for
installation. For details, consult your dealer.
• The warranty on this projector does not cover any damage caused by use of any non-recommended
ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.
• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, images may appear darker than those projected in the
case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product malfunction.
1. Front Table
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.
2. Rear Table
Select 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 >
Image Flip H/V menu after you turn the projector
on.
3. Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and
qualified projector ceiling mount kit are required
for this installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic
> Image Flip H/V menu after you turn the
projector on.
4. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase a qualified projector ceiling mount kit
from your dealer to mount your projector on the
ceiling.
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic
> Image Flip H/V menu after you turn the
projector on.
22
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format
each factors in the projected image size.
16:10 is the native aspect ratio of LX-MU500/LX-MW500. To be able to project a complete 16:9
(widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's
native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 90% of the projector's
native aspect height.
Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 10% of the height of a 16:10 aspect image displayed by this
projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 5% height
respectively) of the 16:10 projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the
vertical center of the 16:10 projection display area.
Install the projector on a flat surface such as a table with the lens parallel to the screen. This prevents
image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).
The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel film projectors
did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal
plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and
upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and
everyone in the room can see the screen).
You can see from the diagram on page 24, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the
projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector.
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 directly proportional to the projection distance.
When fine streaks are seen on projected images
This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a mal-function. Replace the screen or
displace the focus a little.

ENGLISH
How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size
1. Select your image size.
2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your image size in the left columns labeled "Image
size". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance
from screen value in the column labeled "Distance from the screen: L". This is the projection
distance.
3. On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical offset (Hd)" value.
This will determine the final vertical offset placement of the projector in relation to the edge of the
image.
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.
<Example>
LX-MU500: If you are using a 16:10 aspect ratio, 100-inch screen, distance from the screen is 2.4 m and
with a vertical offset of 7 cm at Zoom position wide.
The projected image may be distorted if the projector is installed tilting upward or downward. Use the
Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting keystone" on page 39 for details.
How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance
This 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.
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 and find the closest match to your measurement in the distance from the Image size
column. If the min and max values are available on the table, check that your measured distance is
between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average distance value.
3. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding "Image size". 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 (Hd)" value.
This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to the horizontal plane of the
projector.
<Example>
LX-MU500: If your measured projection distance was 2.5 m and your screen aspect ratio is 16:10, the
closest match in the "Distance from the screen: L" column is 2.2 m to 3.5 m. Looking across this row
shows that a 70 to 100-inch screen is required.

The above figures are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements.
Canon recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically
test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in suit before you permanently
install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following
output sockets:
• HDMI/MHL
• Component Video
•S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting
methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most
likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source
device as described below:
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between
compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure
digital viewing experience. See "Connecting an HDMI device" on page 28 for how to connect the
projector to an HDMI device.
Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this
should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video. See "Connecting a
Component Video source device" on page 29 for how to connect the projector to a component video
device.
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should
elect to use the S-Video option. See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 30 for how to

If you have only composite Video output terminals on your Video source device, connect to Composite
Video input. See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 31 for how to connect the
projector to a composite Video device.
Connecting an HDMI device
You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.
To connect the projector to an HDMI device:
1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output terminal of the video device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI-1/MHL or HDMI-2 input terminal on the projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
When you connect this projector and an HDMI device (such as a DVD player) via the HDMI terminal,
black color may appear dark and deep, depending on the type of the connected device.
• This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are two kinds of
methods to digitally transfer image data, in which different black level settings are employed
respectively. Therefore, the specifications of the signals output from DVD players differ,
depending on the type of the digital data transfer method they use.
• Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output digital signals.
When your DVD player is provided with such function, set it as follows.
EXPAND or ENHANCED -> NORMAL
• See the User’s Manual of your DVD player for details.
• When you switch to HDMI input, the projected picture may display wrong colors for about 1
second. This is not product malfunction.

Connecting an S-Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output terminal available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:
1. Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output terminal of the Video source
device.
2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO terminal on the projector.
3. If you wish to make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, take a suitable audio cable and
connect one end of the cable to the audio output terminal of the computer, and the other end to the L/
R terminal of the projector.
4. If you wish, you can use another suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the AUDIO
OUT terminal of the projector, and the other end to your external speakers (not supplied).
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See
"Adjusting the sound" on page 47 for details.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating
correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
• If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this S-
Video source device, you need not connect to this device using an S-Video connection as this
makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. See "Connecting Video
source devices" on page 27 for details.
• Do not connect two signals such as Video and HDMI from a single output device.

1. Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector's
native resolution in its horizontal width or its vertical height.
This is suitable when you want to make most use of the
screen without altering the image's aspect ratio.
2. Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and
resized to fit within the display area. For input signals with
lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller
than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom
setting to decrease or increase the image size if necessary.
You may also need to refocus the projector after making
these adjustments. For input signals with high resolutions,
the projected image will be scaled proportionally to fit the
projector's native resolution in its horizontal width or its
vertical height.
3. 16:10: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center
of the screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is most suitable
for images which are already in a 16:10 aspect.
4. 16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of
the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for
images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high
definition TV and 16:9 aspect DVD movies, as it displays
them without aspect alteration.
5. 4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of
the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for
4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV
and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without
aspect alteration.

Watching 3D content
This projector supports 3D content display using the DLP Link system.
This projector supports 3D image signals in Frame Sequential/Frame Packing/Top-Bottom/Side-By-
Side format.
You need the following items to project and watch 3D content.
• 3D content capable device. For example, a computer with graphics board and software capable of
outputting 3D images
• 3D content
• DLP-Link active electronic shutter 3D glasses (144Hz Compatible)
Not all 3D glasses are guaranteed to work correctly.
Supported 3D signal
For supported timings in different 3D formats, see "Timing chart" on page 76 for details.
To watch 3D content from a computer:
1. Connect the projector to a computer with a computer cable.
When connecting the projector to a computer, make sure you switch the computer's output signal
so that it is only outputting to the projector (do not use dual mode).
2. Output a 3D signal from the computer connected to the projector.
3. Turn on the DLP-Link system 3D glasses, and wear them to enjoy the content.
4. Choose an appropriate 3D format for the "3D" setting.
5. If you cannot see 3D objects, change the "3D Sync" setting from the OSD.
To watch 3D content from an HDMI device:
1. Connect the projector to a computer with an HDMI cable.
2. Output a 3D signal from the HDMI device connected to the projector.
3. Turn on the DLP-Link system 3D glasses, and wear them to enjoy the content.
4. The default setting of the 3D menu is Auto and the projector automatically chooses an appropriate
3D format when detecting 3D contents. If the projector cannot recognize the 3D format, change the
"3D" setting and choose a 3D mode.
5. If you cannot see 3D objects, change the "3D Sync" setting from the OSD.
• It may be difficult to view 3D images if the room is too bright. Also, if there are fluorescent
lights (50 Hz) in the room, the light may flicker when using 3D glasses. If this happens, turn
down or turn off the fluorescent light.
• You cannot change the image mode when viewing 3D content.
Cautions when viewing 3D content
• 3D content should not be viewed by people with a history of photosensitive epilepsy, people
with heart conditions, pregnant women, the elderly, people with serious illnesses, or people
with a history of epileptic seizures.
Viewing 3D content could aggravate their pre-existing conditions.
• Do not view 3D content if you are feeling unwell or are tired.
In addition, do not view 3D content if you are sleep deprived or inebriated.
• If you notice any of the following symptoms, stop viewing the 3D content immediately and wait
until the symptoms subside.
- If the image appears to be doubled or if the 3D effect is not clear.
- Stop viewing if you feel your physical condition change, such as if you feel fatigued or
unwell.
- When enjoying 3D content that rotates, rolls, or shakes you may feel as if you are were
moving, which can trigger a form of "sea sickness".
• Viewing 3D content for too long may cause eyestrain. To avoid this, be sure to take regular
breaks.
Viewing 3D content for too long or viewing them from an angle may cause eyestrain and so on.
50
• Children viewing 3D content should always be accompanied by an adult.
Children may not tell you if they are feeling unwell when viewing 3D content, so always be sure
to check with the child.
The minimum recommended age for viewing 3D content is six years old.
• Make sure you are at an appropriate distance from the front of the screen when viewing 3D
content.
Make sure you are at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when
viewing 3D content, and that your eyes are level with the screen.
• The image source may be reversed.
Check that the settings are correct and that the 3D effect is being correctly applied.
If the image is inversed and the left and right eye images are swapped, the 3D effect does not
work, which could cause eye strain or cause you to feel unwell.

Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the
built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:
Total Lamp Hour = (hours used in Normal mode) + 4/5*(hours used in Economic mode)
See "Setting Lamp Mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU and then press / until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press OK/IMAGE. The Lamp Settings page is displayed.
3. You will see the Lamp Time information appearing on the menu.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU.
You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
Extending lamp life
Lamps should be replaced about every 2,000 (used in Normal Mode)–2,500 (used in Economic Mode)
hours. Note that there is no guarantee how long lamps will last.
To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.
Setting Lamp Mode as Economic
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by approximately 20%. If the
Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Economic mode, go
into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp Mode menu and press / .
• When this mode is switched, the projected images may flicker.
• If this mode is frequently switched, the lamp may be deteriorated.
Setting Auto Power Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected and no operation
is made by user after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off menu and press / .
The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not
suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain
time period.
67
ENGLISH
Timing of replacing the lamp
When the lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp,
please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector
and in some instances the lamp may explode.
The LAMP indicator light and TEMPerature indicator light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot.
Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or TEMPerature indicator
light still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on
page 71 for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
Status Message
The lamp has been in operation for 1500 hours. Install a new lamp
for optimal performance. If the projector is normally run with
Economic selected (See "Setting Lamp Mode as Economic" on page
66), you may continue to operate the projector until the 1950 hour
lamp warning appears.
The lamp has been in operation for 1950 hours. A new lamp should
be fitted to avoid the inconvenience when the projector runs out of
lamp time.
The lamp has been in operation for 2000 hours.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this age.
The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness
diminishes with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can
replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness
level has significantly diminished. If the lamp is not
replaced beforehand, it must be replaced after 2000 hours
usage.
The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate
normally.

Replacing the lamp Spare lamp: LX-LP02
• Be sure to replace the lamp with a new lamp separately sold that is exclusive to this projector.
Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power
cord before changing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before
replacing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of compromising image quality, do not touch the optical components inside
when the lamp is removed.
• Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn’t installed properly, it won’t illuminate.
Improper installation may also result in fire.
• If the lamp should break, never shake the lamp box or hold it in front of your face after
removing it. The glass fragments may fall out and cause injury to your eyes.
• In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp exploded, glass fragments may have been
scattered inside the projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of
the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be sure to hold the handle of the
lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments.
• Contact your dealer when replacing the lamp unit with the projector mounted to the ceiling.
• Don’t remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the
lamp may result in a breakdown.
• This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure
mercury lamp may explode or fail to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or
deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent failure to illuminate
varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the
lamp may explode soon after the start of use.
• The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period.
When the instruction of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even
if the lamp is still lighting normally.
• When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside
the lamp box and the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector.
The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or avoid it from entering
your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor
immediately.
• This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this
lamp in a proper manner.
• Be sure to use the lamp dedicated to this projector, LX-LP02. Use of other lamps may cause a
failure of the projector.
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the
wall socket. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for
approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
