I want to attach a Vivitek 650HD projector to a ceiling mount, but am not sure if I mount it upside down. There doesn't seem to be a "flip" function to flip the picture.

I am 99% sure most projectors are mounted upside down. There should be a way to simply flip the image electronically via the option menu.

In most projector OCD menu (keep in mind you may want to do this before mounting), under the "Installation" or "Initial Installation" section should be an option about Projection mode/method. The options should allow you to pick front, rear, ceiling, or ceiling+rear. This sets the project to know when it will be in front of the screen, behind it, and/or attached to the ceiling (which it knows will be upside down). Then you simply set it to ceiling, mount the projector, and finish your other adjustments as needed.

Optima Optima hd81 projector mounted on ceiling now picture is upside down

There is an option in the setup menus to re-orientate the picture, to flip it either vertically, horizontally or both to correct for the various installation options. You should be able to correct it quite easily :o)

I have a Panasonic PT-LM2U; when it is turned on, everything powers up fine but the image projected is upside down. I've looked through the menu but didn't see an option for flipping or rotating...

Every modern projector that I have seen has a setting that will allow you to flip the image for this.If you purchased it used it was probably configured as a ceiling mount in an upside down orientation or rear projection onto a translucent screen. (The projection method can be set from the "OPTION2" menu. in a Model LM1 so it should be similar. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/PTLM1U.PDF

If yours doesn't have this option, then you'll have to use mounts that require the projector to be upside down.

Image is upside down. how to fix?

Projectors have the ability to flip the image for when they are ceiling mounted, or laying on a desk. You have to go into menu and change the option based on where you have the projector located. You can find the option in the Menu, under Setup and Basic under the Projection sub-menu. Will be either Front Table, Front Ceiling, Rear Table or Rear Ceiling.

How can i flip the screen up side down on the projecter

Go to Menu> Extended> Projection> select Front ( to project from the front of the screen ).Front/Ceiling ( If the projector is mounted upside-down from the ceiling ). Rear ( to project from behind onto a transparent screen ).Rear/Ceiling ( to project from behind when the projector is mounted upside-down from the ceiling ).
Or you can hold down the [A/V Mute] button for about 5 seconds to change the projection setup from Front to Front/ceiling or Rear to Rear/Ceiling.

Upside down image

These projectors are designed to be mounted upside down. Think of a projector that is ceiling mounted in a classroom. Change this setting in Menu - Advanced Menu - Setup - Mirror.
