Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 

1.

Floor in front of screen; 

2.

Ceiling in front of screen; 

3.

Floor at rear of screen; or 

4.

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, 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 Ceiling Front in the Setup > 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 Floor Rear in the Setup > 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 Ceiling Rear in the Setup > Mirror menu after you 
turn the projector on.
