Projection methods
When projecting from directly in front When projecting from the side of the screen When projecting from a ceiling
Avoid setting the projector up in places which are very dusty such as bedrooms.
Clean the air filter at least once every 3 months. Clean the air filter more frequently if using the projector in a dusty
environment.
When installing against a wall, leave a space of 20 cm (7.9 in.) or more between the projector and the wall.
A special method of installation is required in order to suspend the projector from a ceiling. Please contact your dealer if you would like to use this installation method.
Installing the cable cover
Once the video equipment or computer has been connected, you can then install the cable cover that is included with the projector to cover the connectors for a neat appearance.
Installation
Insert the two tabs inside the cable cover into the notches in the projector.
Secure the cable cover by tightening the two fixing screws.
Securely tighten. You can use a Phillips screwdriver or a coin to tighten the fixing screws.
If installing on a ceiling, you can change the orientation of the EPSON logo plate that would otherwise be upside-down. Press your finger against the air exhaust end of the plate. The opposite end of the plate will lift up, so that you can pull it out slightly and turn it around.
Removal
Loosen the fixing screws until they come away from the projector, and then lift up the cable cover to remove it.
When suspending the projector from a ceiling, change the configuration menu settings.

Connecting image sources
Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result. Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.
