Additional Components

Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need to obtain the following additional components:

• To receive a component video signal, you need a compatible component 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 (PowerLite Home Cinema 3500/3510/3600e).

• To receive and view a 3D signal, you need a compatible HDMI cable and active shutter 3D glasses (3D glasses not included with PowerLite Home Cinema 3000). You can purchase them from Epson or an authorized Epson reseller. If your video source is a 3D Blu-ray disc, you also need a Blu-ray player that supports 3D playback. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.

• To project with audio from certain ports, you may need a commercially available audio cable compatible with your device (PowerLite Home Cinema 3500/3510/3600e). See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.

• To add additional sound, you need speakers, an audio video receiver or a video source with speaker connections, and the cables necessary to connect to the speakers and the projector. 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.

Projector Placement Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

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.

Projector Setup and Installation Options Projection Distance

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways: Front

Rear

Front Ceiling

Rear Ceiling

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 the projector cannot be centered in front of the screen, use lens shift to reposition the image instead of using keystone correction for better image quality.

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.)
