Hello,
I'm brand new to your forum and to the home theater crowd, so please excuse my "neophyte" questions. I'm into this because watching DVDs on my 32" Sony TV isn't too great!
I just purchased a Sony G70Q projector and a Quadscan Elite quadrupler, but I haven't yet seen either. But I have the Sony installation manual and I'm trying to figure out exactly wher to mount the projector. My screen is a Da-Lite 92x52 (16x9). My room is 18' deep and plenty wide, with an 11' slanted (to the left) ceiling. My "viewers" will be about 12' from the screen. I would like to mount the projector from the ceiling as high as possible to hide it as much as possible.
Although I don't yet have the projector, I do have the installation manual, and on page 11 it provides distances and heights, but it assumes a 4x3 screen, while mine is a 16x9 screen. Since my screen is 92" wide, I would assume I need to use (for calculation purposes) a 92" wide 4x3 screen, which would be 92x69, or 115" diagonal. Is this correct?
If this is correct, could I then interpolate between the 100" and the 120" screen size in the chart to get the correct distances and heights for my screen?
Also if this is correct, this will put my projector height, relative to the top of my screen, higher than for a 4x3 screen. Is this correct?
Finally, If I use the Quadscan Elite, is it possible to move the picture higher, assuming I had a normal 4x3 screen, than centerline? If this was possible, I could mount the projector even higher than that shown in the page 11 diagram. Would you recommend this?
Do you have any other suggestions for me as a beginner?
Thank you very much!!!!
