Installing the Projector
Projection Distance and Screen Size
•The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (optional) to be used. When the aspect ratio
of the screen is 4:3, the range is as follows and you need to install the projector within this range.
Lens type
Approximate projection distance
GL-M2910G 0.77 m to 4.03 m
GL-M2915SG 1.76 m to 4.50 m
GL-M2920ZG 2.77 m to 19.71 m
GL-M2930SZG 4.74 m to 29.87 m
*: The value for projection distance is a guide (reference) one. The projected image size may vary depending on the
manufacturing tolerance of the projection lens.
Notes
•For detailed relationship between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix A. The relationships for
both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios are listed there.
•When installing a screen, use a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.
(A 16 : 9 aspect-ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture is projected.)
•The diagonal length of a 16:9 aspect-ratio screen is about 91.8% that of a 4:3 aspect-ratio screen. This value is only a guide
(reference).
If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture tends to become pale and dim. Use a curtain or
other means to shield the light.
Set the projector horizontally on a surface that is within the range of adjustable angles (up/down adjustment angle: +7° ;
horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°).
If the keystone is adjusted, the projected screen becomes smaller.
•When hanging from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture (not supplied).
Optional Lenses
This projector does not include a lens. You can select one of the optional lenses to adjust the projection distance. Please ask
your authorized dealer or service center to install the lens.

Center line of the lens
To move the Shift position by 50%, set the bottom edge of the projec-
tion screen so that it is at the same height as the center of the lens.
Note: There is a 7% drop (for ceiling mount) using the
anamorpich lens. Calculate 7% of the throw distance.
