Set up your projector

When you’ve picked a place to watch and project your movies, you can begin setting up your Premiere.

  1. Place the projector at an appropriate distance from the wall it will project onto. Make sure the projector is sitting horizontally on a flat surface to prevent it from tilting or tipping over.

  2. Connect the projector’s power cable to an outlet, and then turn it on by pressing the Power button at the rear of the projector.

  3. When you turn on the projector for the first time, it starts the initial setup. Using the remote, follow the instructions displayed and configure the projector's settings to suit your viewing environment.

  4. Adjust the projector’s angle by moving it left or right. Or, change the angle by adjusting the tilt-foot at the bottom of the projector.

  5. Move the projector forward or backward to adjust the projection distance for your desired display size. For information about the available display sizes and the corresponding distance, please refer to the next section.
