Part Names and Functions

Replacing the remote control batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.

Attention

Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries. s Safety Instructions

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.

Caution

Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.

Remote control operating range

Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installing the Projector

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐ ing projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

• If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

Attention

• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of

the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• An optional ceiling mount and attachment plate are required when

suspending the projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.110

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

FrontWFront/Ceiling Set Rear or Rear/Ceiling from the Configuration menu. s Extended - Projection p.74

Installation methods

Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen.

Installing the Projector

If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image. See the following for more information on correcting keystone distortion.

"Automatically Adjust to Fit the Screen Frame - Screen Fit - (EB-1775W

only)" p.31

"Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.33

Place the projector on a level surface. See the following if the projected

image is tilted horizontally.

Connecting Equipment

This section gives examples of how to connect the projector and the projection source. Illustrations in this section are of EB-1775W/EB-1770W/EB-1760W.

The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected.

Connecting a Computer

To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.

When using the supplied computer cable

Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer input port using the supplied computer cable. To output audio from the projector's speaker, you need to connect a commercially available audio cable.

When using the supplied USB cable

Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's USB (Type B) port using the supplied USB cable.

When using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the computer's HDMI port to the projector's HDMI port using a commercially available HDMI cable.

Simply by connecting the projector to a computer via a USB cable, you can project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. s "Projecting with USB Display" p.28

Connecting Equipment

Connecting Image Sources

To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.

When using a commercially available video cable

Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video input port using a commercially available video cable. To output audio from the projector's speaker, you need to connect a commercially available audio cable.

When using the optional component video cable

s "Optional Accessories" p.110

Connect the component output port on the image source to the projector's Computer input port using the optional component video cable. To output audio from the projector's speaker, you need to connect a commercially available audio cable.

When using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the HDMI port on the image source to the projector's HDMI port using a commercially available HDMI cable.

Attention

• If the input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could cause a malfunction.

• If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction.

• If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector.

• When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".

Connecting Equipment

Connecting USB Devices

You can connect devices such as USB memory, the optional Document Camera, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras.

Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB (Type A) port on the projector.

USB

Type A

When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow.

"Slideshow examples" p.45

If the Document Camera is connected while another image source is projecting, press the [USB] button on the remote control, or the [Source Search] button on the control panel to switch to images from the Document Camera.

"Automatically Detect Input Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)" p.27

Attention

• If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly.

• When connecting and using a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.

• Connect a digital camera or hard disk to the projector using a USB cable supplied with or specified for use with the device.

• Use a USB cable less than 3 m in length. If the cable exceeds 3 m, Slideshow may not function correctly.

Connecting Equipment

Removing USB devices

After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector.

Basic Usage

This chapter explains how to project and adjust images.

the Projected Image (Source Search)

Press the [Source Search] button to project images from the port currently receiving an image.

Because only images from ports receiving an image are projected, you can quickly project the image you want.

Using the remote control Using the control panel

When two or more image sources are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning this operation.

The following screen is displayed when only the image that the

projector is currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the port where the equipment you want to use is connected. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.
