12 Setting Up the Projector

Keep the projector level and place it at a height so its lens is even with the top or the bottom of the screen and is centered horizontally. If this is not possible, use the lens shift dials to reposition the image. You can use lens shift to move the image up or down by nearly its full height, and left or right by about one-half its width (for details, see page 26).

lens using maximum lens shift.

If you place the projector off to the side, aim it straight ahead (rather than at the center of the screen), then use the horizontal lens shift dial to center the image on the screen.

To determine the exact image size when you know the projection distance (or the exact projection distance when you know the desired image size), you can use the Image Size Calculator. This program is available on the Epson website at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Also keep these considerations in mind:

Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose materials that could block the vents underneath.

Make sure the projector is within 9.8 feet (3 m) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

In order to view 3D images correctly, 3D glasses must be worn within proper range of the projector. Use the image below to determine the ideal distance for 3D projection (the shading represents the 3D viewing area):

Setting Up the Projector 15

Installing the Projector

To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 14 as a guide to positioning the projector.

To suspend the projector from a ceiling, you will need the optional projector mount designed for the projector. See page 10 for ordering information. Follow the instructions included with the mount to install the projector.

Warning: When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use any type of oil or lubricant. These may cause the projector casing to crack and the projector may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the projector.

If you install the projector on the ceiling, you will need to invert the picture so that it appears right side up. Follow these steps:

1.Press the Menu button on the remote control.

2.Open the Settings menu, then select Projection.

3.Select Front/Ceiling.

4.Press the Menu button to exit the menu system.

Connecting the Cables

Connecting Video and Computer Equipment

You can connect the projector to many types of video equipment, such as a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite box, video game console, camcorder, or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple Mac system. For details on compatible video formats, see page 89.

To remove the interface cover and connect cables to the back of the projector (PowerLite Home Cinema 5020UBe only), grip the cover at the gaps on the bottom of the cover and pull upwards. Swing the cover out from the projector, then pull the cover straight out to detach it.

Note: If you have trouble gripping the gaps on the bottom of the cover, use a flat object, such as a coin, to help open the cover.

To reattach the cover, insert the tabs at the top of the cover into the projector, then snap the bottom of the cover into place.

18 Setting Up the Projector

You can connect up to five pieces of equipment at the same time, using any of the commercially available cables shown below:

For best results, connect your video equipment to the HDMI port, if possible. If your equipment doesn’t support HDMI, connect it to either the Component (for high quality, component video) or Video (for composite video) port.

Note: You need to use a High Speed HDMI cable to use the projector’s 3D features. If you aren’t sure if your HDMI cable is High Speed, contact your cable manufacturer.

Setting Up the Projector 19

When you connect an HDMI cable to the projector, it is recommended that you fasten it with the included cable clip. Follow the steps below to install the cable clip.

Note: The cable clip will fit most standard, round HDMI cables. The clip may not fit non-round or thick HDMI cables.

1.Connect the HDMI cable to one of the HDMI ports on the projector.

2.Insert the end of the cable clip anchor into the cable clip hole above the HDMI port, as shown below.

3.Place the open cable clip around the HDMI cable, but don’t lock it into place.

4.Slide the cable clip towards the projector and lock the clip onto the HDMI connector.

To remove the cable clip, unlock the clip and disconnect the HDMI cable. Then pinch the sides of the cable clip anchor and carefully pull it out of the cable clip hole.

20 Setting Up the Projector

Making Other Connections

Connect the power cable and other cables described below, depending on how you plan to use the projector.

Plug the power cable into the projector and a grounded electrical outlet.

Positioning the Image

If the projector is not centered in front of the screen, use the lens shift dials and, if needed, vertical keystone buttons to correct the position and shape of the image.

Note: For the best image quality, try to position the projector so that you do not need to use keystone correction.

The vertical position (V) can be adjusted by up to 96% of the height of the screen, while the horizontal position (H) can be adjusted by up to 47% of the width of the screen.

If one side of the image is taller than the other, make sure the projector is parallel to the screen. If necessary, adjust the front feet so that the projector is horizontal.

Adjustable feet

Note: If the projected image shape is not rectangular, the projector is not level with the screen or aimed directly at the screen. It’s best to adjust the physical position of the projector to correct this. If you still can’t correct the image shape by adjusting the position of the projector, use the vertical keystone buttons to fix the image shape.

Setting Up the Projector 27

When setting up the projector, make sure that it is placed level to the screen in order to provide the best possible image quality. If you must set up the projector at an angle, use the vertical keystone buttons to correct the image shape.
