    How far off center can the Z2 be placed?

    I need some help before deciding on a projector. I am eyeing the Sanyo Z2. I need to know if the projector has to be centered to the screen or can the lense shift allow me to place it off center. If so, how far to the left or right can I place the projector before it gets to the point where I can't go further? I am planning to place the projector about 30 inches to the right of the center of the screen. Will the lense shift bring the image onto the 106" screen?

    Here is a link to the Z2 owners manual. t has a very useful chart in it to answer your question.

      I looked at the manual, but it wasn't exactly clear. I can check mine this weekend. The manual does state however, the best image will be using the lens shift centers. (left/right up/down)

      How far off center axis are you? I will say that regardless of projector brand, your going to find that lens shifting is best centered.

        I'd guess at best a several inches from the lens centre which is off set already from the body of the unit.

          Thanks Guys!

          Thanks to all that commented on my question. I have purchased the Z2 and have found it to be amazingly easy to setup. I decided to mount it on the ceiling and have not needed to use keystone correction, I have however used the lense shift to slighty bring the image down on to the screen. Having loads of fun watching DVD and HDTV and tweaking this projector.
