Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:

❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between

2.5 and 38 feet from the screen.

❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and

under the projector.

❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of the
image source.

❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.

The projector supports 5 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is
installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the
correct

Projection option from the Setting menu after you turn

it on. If you mount the projector on the ceiling, professional
installation is recommended.

Table

Convenient for temporary front
projection. Choose
the menu.

Shelf

Attach the three rubber feet that
came with the projector to the
top of the projector, then turn the
projector upside-down. Choose

Front/Ceiling from the menu.

Ceiling

Professional installation
recommended. Choose

Front/Ceiling from the menu.

(You can purchase ceiling mounting
equipment from EPSON; see page

12.)

Rear

For permanent installation behind a
translucent screen. Choose
from the menu.

Image Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the size of the projected image, as shown below. Because other
adjustments—such as those made with the

Aspect button—

also affect the size of the image, the numbers shown in the
illustration should be considered as general guidelines, not exact
measurements.

Use the formulas given below either to find out how large your
image will be when you know the distance from the projector to
the screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place the
projector when you want an image of a certain size. Since the
size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring,
formulas are given for both the minimum and maximum sizes.

To determine the diagonal size of an image when you know the
projection distance:

Minimum diagonal size = (0.39421 × projection distance) +

1.2116

Maximum diagonal size = (0.25690 × projection distance) +

0.69164

To determine the projection distance when you know the
diagonal size of the screen image:

Projection distance = (minimum diagonal screen size ×

2.5367) - 3.0735

Projection distance = (maximum diagonal screen size ×

3.8925) - 2.6922

Rear/Ceiling

Professional installation behind a
translucent screen recommended.

Rear/Ceiling from the menu.

Choose
(You can purchase special ceiling
mounting equipment from EPSON;
see page 12.)

If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need
to adjust the image shape. See page 5.

Turning the Projector On and Off

Once you’ve connected the projector to your computer or other
equipment, follow these instructions to turn it on and display
an image:

1. Make sure the power is turned off for the projector and any
sources connected to it.

2. Remove the lens cover.

3. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector and plug
the other end into a grounded electrical outlet.

The P

Power light on the projector turns orange, indicating

that the projector is receiving power, but is not yet turned
on.

Orange

Note: The projector will not respond to any buttons on the
control panel or remote control while the power light is
flashing orange.

4. If you are connecting to video equipment, turn it on now. (If
you are connecting to a computer, don’t turn it on yet.)

5. Press the P
of the projector to turn on the projector.

You hear a beep, the P
projector warms up, and the projection lamp comes on in
about 45 seconds.

6. If you are using a computer, turn it on now.

The projector automatically detects the video source and begins
projecting.

If you don’t see a picture, make sure the P power light on the
projector is green and not flashing, and the lens cover is off.
Also, make sure your cable is connected to both the projector
and your video equipment, and the video equipment is on. If
you still don’t see a picture, see the suggestions in the
Troubleshooting section on page 6.

Note: If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until
the orange light stops flashing. Then press the P

Power

button.

4. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Caution: Never disconnect the power cord while the

P power light is green or flashing orange. You may damage
the projector.

5. Replace the lens cover and retract the projector’s adjustable
feet.

6. Store the remote control in its holder on the back of the
projector. (Part of the remote control will stick out when it’s
fully inserted.)
