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
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
23
Front
Rear
Front Ceiling
24
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.)
You can also use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or
epson.ca/support (Canada).

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.
29
2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports. If you are connecting an optical HDMI
cable, you must also connect the cable's USB power connector to the 1000mA 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.
You can also select the Fast setting using the Fine/Fast button on the remote control to reduce lag time.
Note: When an audio/video source that meets the HDMI CEC standard is connected to the projector's HDMI port, you can use the projector's remote control to control certain features of the linked device by pressing the HDMI Link button on the remote control and setting HDMI Link to On.

Adjusting the Image Position Using Lens Shift

If you cannot install the projector directly in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the projected image using the lens shift feature.
Follow these guidelines when using lens shift to adjust your images:
• When adjusting the image height, position the image lower than where you want it to be and then
move it up using the vertical lens shift dial. This helps prevent the image from moving down after adjustment.
• Keep the vertical and horizontal lens shift dials in their center positions for the clearest picture.
Note: Wait 30 minutes after turning on the projector before setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift for maximum accuracy.
1. Turn on the projector and display an image.
