Mounting the VX-8d
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting (Upright) In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience, you can invert the VX-8d and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber
crutch tips or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If the VX-8d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector, you
can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls,
to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to
Using the On-Screen Menus on
page 47.
1. Do not use the mounting screws provided with the ceiling
mounting kit. Use only the hardware provided with the CineWide
lens base plate.
2. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
Caution
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions
provided with it.
