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 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).

Projector Connections

Wide to Tele

You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.

• Connect any type of computer (Windows or Mac) that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.

• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and smartphones with compatible video output ports.

• If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary.

• For slide shows without a computer, you can connect USB devices such as a flash drive or camera (must be a USB mass storage device).

Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

Parent topic: Projector Connections

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.

2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.

Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game

Page 27

commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources

Connecting to a Component-to-VGA 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.

2. Connect the VGA connector to a Computer port on the projector.

3. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.

If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's Signal menu.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Connecting to a Composite Video Source

If your video source has a composite video port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional RCA-style video or A/V cable.

1. Connect the cable with the yellow connector to your video source's yellow video output port.

Page 29

2. Connect the other end to the projector's Video port.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you

switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Connecting to a Video Source for Sound

You can play sound through the projector's speaker system if your video source has audio output ports. Connect the projector to the video source using an RCA audio cable.

Note: If you connected your video source to the projector using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is transferred with the video signal; you do not need an additional cable for sound.

1. Connect the audio cable to your video source's audio-out ports.

Page 30

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's Audio port or ports.

Note: To add additional sound, connect your video source and speakers to an audio video receiver,

then connect the receiver to the projector using one of the receiver's compatible video outputs (an HDMI connection provides the best image quality, if available). You can also connect speakers to any video source that has its own speaker connections.

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. In the projector's Extended menu, set the USB Type B setting to USB Display.

2. Turn on your computer.

3. Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.

4. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.

5. Do one of the following:

• Windows 8.x: Click EPSON_PJ_UD in the upper right-corner, then select Run EMP_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.

Page 33

• Windows XP: Wait as messages appear on your computer screen and the projector installs the Epson USB Display software on your computer.

After installing the module and setting up the projector, install the network software. You can download the latest software and documentation from the Epson web site. Go to epson.com/support (U.S.) or

epson.ca/support (Canada) and select your projector.

Use the following software and documentation to set up, control, and monitor wireless projection:

• EasyMP Network Projection software sets up your computer for wireless network projection.

• EasyMP Monitor software (Windows only) lets you monitor and control your projector through the

network.

• Projection from iOS or Android devices with the wireless LAN module and free Epson iProjection app;
