I just got my Panny 900 and after reading the manual, have questions that the manual does not address.

I was going to build a bracket out of Cherry hardwood that will span between the floor joists, but need to know how far from the ceiling the projector should be.

The ceiling height is 8.5’. The screen will be somewhere close to 7’ wide. Not sure about the height. Viewing distance is about 12’.

I have a little complication though. I am installing a light fixture in-between the projector and the screen in addition to perimeter soffit lighting. I’d like to mount a ceiling fan with light if I can find one shallow enough, but will mount a ceiling hugging fixture of some kind if the fan idea doesn’t pan out. (I have radiant floor heat, so fans are very nice to have in the rooms for those times when it gets a tad too warm in a room).

The fixture will be 4’ 6” in front of the projector lense.

Any thoughts on this???
