The Epson MovieMate projector is designed for use virtually anywhere at 
home. However, MovieMate and its accessories should not be exposed 
to water, smoke, direct heat or sunlight, or left outside for long periods 
of time. As with typical electronic equipment, please avoid exposure of 
MovieMate to moisture, dust, smoke, and other environmental factors 
which may result in damage to internal electronics over time. See the 
Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty in your User’s Guide for additional

2 Choose a location
You can use your MovieMate just about anywhere—in the living room, bedroom, 
or even outside. You can use it with an optional subwoofer and screen, or simply 
project on a wall and use the built-in audio system.
The following pictures show four different setups.
 If you want an 80-inch diagonal size image, place MovieMate about 
1
⁄
6 
2 feet away from the wall or screen. The following diagram shows the 
approximate image size (measured diagonally) at various distances.
 If you want to project against a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth 
surface for best results.
 MovieMate doesn’t have to be directly in front of the screen or wall, but it 
has to face straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the projection surface).
 If the image is too low, too high, or off to the side, you can use the quick 
image adjustment dials to adjust the position. See section 5 on the back 
of this sheet.
 Make sure you have a grounded electrical outlet, power strip, or extension 
cord to plug MovieMate into.
