Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using your Epson MovieMate:
■ Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
■ Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous
electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.
■ The projector’s accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from
small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
■ Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can
damage your eyes. Never let children or pets look into the lens when it is on.
■ Don’t place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Also, don’t stand on the
projector or place heavy objects on it.
■ Never push objects through the cabinet slots or spill liquid into the projector.
■ Do not use the projector near water, or sources of heat or vibration. Do not expose it to
rain or moisture.
■ Do not move the unit during playback.
■ Do not touch the projection lens with bare hands.
■ Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Do not use solvents
such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
■ Do not use the projector in places where flammable gases or explosive gases may be
present in the atmosphere.
■ Do not use the projector in places where there is excessive humidity or dust, near cooking
or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam.
Do not use or store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.
■ Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use. Doing so will result in serious burns.
Before removing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait approximately one hour for the
lamp to cool completely.
■ The lamp is fragile and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with
extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact Epson to replace the lamp.
■ Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed, because the
possibility of lamp breakage increases. When the lamp replacement message appears,
replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
12 Welcome
■ The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local
regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
■ The lamp in this projector is under high internal pressure and may make a loud noise if it
breaks. If it breaks, ventilate the room to prevent mercury gas inside the lamp from being
inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
■ Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, to prevent burns from hot
air leaving the exhaust vent, and to prevent inhaling or contact with the gases inside the
lamp if it breaks.
■ Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the air exhaust
vents.
■ Do not place the projector near a flame.
■ Before you move the projector, make sure it is turned off, the plug is disconnected from
the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.
■ If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get
into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical
advice.
■ Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
■ Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you’re not sure of the power
available, consult the power company.
■ If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct
power cord for that country.
■ Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■ Don’t place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or
damage to the plug.
■ Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cable excessively, and do not place heavy objects on
top of the power cable.
■ Do not modify the power cable.
■ Keep the power cable away from hot electrical appliances.
■ Do not pull the power cable when disconnecting the plug. Always be sure to hold the
plug when disconnecting it.
■ Don’t insert the plug into an outlet with dust present, and insert the plug firmly into the
outlet. Failure to do so could result in sparks or fire.
■ Don’t handle the plug with wet hands.
Welcome 13
■ Don’t overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can
cause fire or electric shock.
■ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions: when the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed; if liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain, water,
or excessive humidity; if smoke, unusual smells, or unusual noises come from the
projector; if it doesn’t operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if
it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service; if it has been
dropped or the housing has been damaged.
■ If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power plug, otherwise you may receive an
electric shock.
■ Keep the projector unplugged during electrical storms and when the projector is not in
use for extended periods.
■ Keep the batteries for the remote control out of the reach of children. Batteries are
choking hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed. If they are swallowed, seek
medical attention immediately.
■ Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
■ Do not expose batteries to heat or flame and do not put them in water.
■ Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
■ Remove the batteries if you won’t be using the projector for an extended period.
■ Insert batteries so that the polarities are correct, and do not mix new and old batteries.
■ Do not use batteries other than those specified in this User’s Guide.
■ Don’t block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and
prevent the projector from overheating. Don’t operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or
other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
■ Don’t leave the projector or remote control on top of heat-producing equipment or in a
heated place, such as a car.
■ Don’t use the projector outside of the required temperature range (41 to 95 °F [5 to 35
°C]). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.
■ Don’t store the projector outside of the required temperature range (14 to 140 °F [–10 to
60 °C]) or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the
case.
■ Make sure there is at least 8 inches of space between the exhaust ventilation slots and the
wall or other object.
14 Welcome
■ Make sure there is at least 4 inches of space between the intake ventilation slots and the
wall or other object.
■ Avoid projecting a high-contrast still image for more than 15 minutes to prevent burn-in.
If this happens, project a bright screen until the burn-in disappears (from 30 to 60
minutes). If you can’t eliminate the burn-in, contact Epson as described on page 69.
■ Do not turn the volume too high, especially when using headphones. Listening to high
volume sounds over an extended period can damage your hearing. Sudden high volume
can also damage the speakers.
WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known
to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. (This notice is provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5 and following.)

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 ceiling-mounted screen, or
simply project on a flat white wall.
The following pictures show three different setups:
Front
To project onto a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth surface. When 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 “Wall and Projection Screen
Recommendations” on page 23.
18 Unpacking and Setting Up
FloorBack
Your projector should be directly in front of the screen or
wall, facing straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the
surface).
If the image is too low, you can raise it by extending the feet
and tilting the projector up. This causes the image to lose its
rectangular shape, but the projector will correct it
automatically. If necessary, you can adjust the shape using
the keystone buttons on the remote control or the Visual
Setup menu. See page 26 for instructions.
The farther you place the projector from the screen or wall,
the larger the image will be.
The following tables list the distances required for various image sizes (measured diagonally).
Note that the zoom adjustment also affects image size.

Playing Movies
Follow the instructions in this section to play a DVD and control playback.
Wall and Projection Screen Recommendations
To optimize viewing of projector images, follow the recommendations in this section.
Viewing on a Wall
You can easily view Epson MovieMate’s high quality images on any flat white wall in your
home. There is no cost or setup involved, and you can project and resize the image up to any
size that fits on your wall. To enhance the image quality even further, you may want to paint
the wall with projection paint that is specially designed for optimum reflectivity and contrast
in your viewing environment.
Viewing on a Projection Screen
If you don’t have a suitable wall in your home or want a professional quality viewing
experience, you can use a projection screen. These screens have optical coatings with special
reflective properties that enhance brightness, contrast, and sharpness as well as providing a
frame around the image.
Projection screens are available in many shapes, sizes, mounting styles, colors, and surface
qualities, as described below.
Considering Screen Shape and Size
In a home theater setting—for watching DVD movies, HDTV broadcasts, or other
widescreen content—the best screen shape ratio is 16:9, where the width is almost twice the
height. Most DVD movies and HDTV broadcasts will fill the screen vertically and
horizontally for maximum impact. The most popular sizes are from 45 to 100 inches (114 to
254 cm) diagonal.
Playing Movies 23
Standard screens have a 4:3 shape ratio, which is better suited for viewing computer
presentations and standard TV broadcasts. Watching DVD movies or HDTV broadcasts on a
4:3 ratio screen limits the image width and leaves unused screen area above and below the
image. Available screen sizes vary, but are usually up to 60 inches (152 cm) diagonal (the same
height as an 80-inch [203-cm] diagonal 16:9 screen).
Considering Screen Mounting Style
Most screens are either floor-standing, wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted. Consider these
characteristics as you choose which type would be best for your viewing environment:
Screen mounting style Characteristics
Floor-standing screens Portable
Can be used in multiple locations
Can be stored out of the way
Some may also be wall-mountable
Wall-mounted screens Typically permanently installed
Can be partially hidden out of the way
Some may be disguised as artwork
Ceiling-mounted screens Typically permanently installed
Can be partially hidden out of the way
Some may be recessed into the ceiling and hidden completely
Can be manually or electronically dropped and raised
Outdoor screens Resistant to outdoor environmental factors
Considering Color and Surface Quality
For home theater settings, screens come in white or shades of gray. Gray screens (sometimes
called high contrast screens) increase the natural contrast of images projected in rooms with
ambient light by absorbing the room light and preserving the darker blacks. If you have a
dedicated home theater room with dark walls, ceiling, floor, and furniture, a gray screen may
not provide better contrast than a white screen. However, if you usually project images in a
typical living room or family room with some reflected light, a gray screen will provide better
contrast and a truer viewing experience.
