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.

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.) You can also
use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

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: A USB connection may cause a delay for content requiring high bandwidth, such as movies. An
HDMI connection is recommended for projecting movies, video games, and other home entertainment
content.
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 RunEMP_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.
28
Page 29
• Mac: 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
the projector to the computer.
The projector displays the image from your computer's desktop and outputs sound, if your presentation
contains audio.
Parent topic: Connecting to Computer Sources
Connecting to a Computer for VGA Video
You can connect the projector to your computer using a VGA computer cable.
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 VGA video port.
Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.
1.If necessary, disconnect your computer's monitor cable.
2.Connect the VGA computer cable to your computer's monitor port.
3.Connect the other end to a Computer port on the projector.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio
If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
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.
1.Connect the HDMI cable to your computer'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 computer into a mono analog signal
for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, you can use one of the
projector's audio ports instead to play sound. Connect one end of an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack
audio cable to one of the projector's audio ports and the other end to your computer's audio out port.
Then select the audio port you connected to as the HDMI1 Audio Output or HDMI2 Audio Output
setting in the Extended menu.

Connecting to a Computer for USB Mouse Control
If you connected your computer to a Computer, USB-B, or HDMI port on the projector, you can set up
the remote control to act as a wireless mouse. This lets you control projection at a distance from your
computer. To do this, connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable, if it is not connected
already.

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 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.

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.
