Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need to obtain the following additional
components:
• To receive a composite video signal, you need an RCA-style video or A/V cable. See your local
computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
• To receive a component video signal, you need a D-sub, 15-pin, component-to-VGA video cable. You
can purchase one from Epson or an authorized Epson reseller.
• To receive an HDMI signal, you need a compatible HDMI cable. You can purchase one from Epson or
an authorized Epson reseller.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for
video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port.
Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not
support audio through the HDMI port.
• To receive an HDMI signal via MHL, you need an MHL-compatible device, an MHL cable, or an HDMI
cable and an MHL adapter compatible with your device. Devices with an integrated MHL connector
may not require a cable.
• To project with audio from certain ports, you may need a commercially available audio cable
compatible with your device. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.

Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Opening the Lens Cover
Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen,
not at an angle, if possible.
If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the
projector's menu system.

Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on
the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)
16:10 Aspect Ratio Image or Screen
Screen or Projection distance

1 50 inches 57.5 to 95.9 inches (146.1 to 243.5 cm)

3 100 inches 116.5 to 193.1 inches (295.8 to 490.6 cm)

Projector Connections
You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display
presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.
• Connect any type of computer that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.
• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and
smartphones with compatible video output ports.
• If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary.
• For slide shows or presentations without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash
drive or camera) or an optional Epson document camera.
Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode
to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources
Connecting to an MHL-Compatible Device
If you have an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet, you can connect it to the projector using either an
MHL cable or an HDMI cable with a device-compatible MHL adapter. If you have a device with a built-in
MHL connector, plug it directly into the HDMI 1/MHL port.
Note: Some connected devices may not charge when using an MHL adapter.
1. Connect the MHL cable or adapter to your device's Micro-USB port.
2. If you are using an MHL adapter, connect it to an MHL-compatible HDMI cable.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's HDMI 1/MHL port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources
Connecting to a Component Video Source
If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using an optional
component-to-VGA video cable. Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter
cable along with a component video cable.
1. Connect the component connectors to your video source's color-coded component video output
ports, usually labeled Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. If you are using an adapter, connect these connectors
to your component video cable.
2. Connect the VGA connector to a Computer port on the projector.
3. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.
If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's
Signal menu.

Connecting to a Composite Video Source
If your video source has a composite video port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional
RCA-style video or A/V cable.
1. Connect the cable with the yellow connector to your video source's yellow video output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's Video port.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources
Connecting to a Video Source for Sound
You can play sound through the projector's speaker system if your video source has audio output ports.
If you are projecting video using a Computer port, connect the projector to the video source using an
optional stereo mini-jack audio cable or an RCA audio cable.
If you are projecting video using the Video port, connect the projector to the video source using an RCA
audio cable.
Note: If you connected your video source to the projector using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is
transferred with the video signal; you do not need an additional cable for sound.
1. Connect the audio cable to your video source's audio-out ports.
2. Do one of the following:
• Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's Audio port that corresponds to the
Computer port you are using for video.
• Connect the red and white plugs on the other end of the cable to the projector's L-Audio-R ports.

Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector
through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a
USB cable.
Note: An HDMI connection is recommended for projecting content requiring high bandwidth.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.
3. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.
4. Do one of the following:
• Windows 10/8.x: Click EPSON_PJ_UD when it appears on the desktop, then select Run
EMP_UDSE.EXE in the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.
• Windows 7/Windows Vista: Select Run EMP_UDSE.EXE in the dialog box that appears to
install the Epson USB Display software.
• Windows XP: Wait as messages appear on your computer screen and the projector installs the
Epson USB Display software on your computer.
• OS X: The USB Display setup folder appears on your screen. Select USB Display Installer and
follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epson USB Display software.
Follow any on-screen instructions. You need to install this software only the first time you connect
