Choosing a Location

You can use your Epson MovieMate just about anywhere—in the living room, bedroom, or even outside. You can use it with an optional floor-, wall-, or ceilingmounted screen, or simply project on a flat white wall.

The following pictures show four different setups:

Front

■ To project onto a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth surface. When

Side

FloorBack

you find a suitable wall for projection, you may want to consider coating the area with projection paint to enhance the image quality. For details, see the User’s Guide on the Epson MovieMate CD.

6 Unpacking and Setting Up

■ 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 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 page 10 for instructions).

■ The farther you place MovieMate from the

screen or wall, the larger the image will be.

If you want an 80-inch diagonal widescreen image, place MovieMate about

6.4 feet away from the wall or screen. The following diagram shows the approximate image size (measured diagonally) at various distances.

Caution:

MovieMate should not be exposed to water, smoke, moisture, dust, direct heat or sunlight, or left outside for long periods of time. These environmental factors may cause damage to internal electronics over time. See the warranty on page 19 for additional details.
