Projector Placement

 

19

 

 

 

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. An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

Note the following points when selecting a projector location:

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

aIf you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct keystone distortion using the projector controls.

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.

Warning

You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.

Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances 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.

Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Attention

Do not operate the projector on its side. This may cause the projector to malfunction.

If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Extended menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

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 illustration here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image.

22

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 a computer 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.

For slide shows or presentations without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera) or the optional Epson document camera.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using a commercially available HDMI cable and send the computer's audio with the projected image.

aTo connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port.

Connecting to Smartphones or Tablets

You can connect the projector to smartphones and tablets using a commercially available MHL cable and send the audio with the projected image.

• You may not be able to connect an MHL cable to all devices. a• You may not be able to project correctly, depending on the model

and settings of the smartphone or tablet.

a Connect the MHL cable to your device's MHL port.

b Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI1/MHL port.

Attention

If you connect an MHL cable that does not support the MHL standards, the smartphone or tablet device may become hot, leak, or explode.

The connected smartphone or tablet begins charging when images are projected. If you connect using a commercially available MHLHDMI conversion adapter, charging the smartphone or tablet device may not work or you may not be able to perform operations using the projector's remote control.

aIf images are not projected correctly, disconnect and then reconnect the MHL cable.
