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.)

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: An HDMI connection is recommended for projecting content requiring high bandwidth.

1. Turn on your computer.

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

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

4. 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.

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

• OS X: The USB Display setup folder appears on your screen. Select USB Display Installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epson USB Display software.

Follow any on-screen instructions. You need to install this software only the first time you connect the projector to the computer.

Note: If you are using Windows XP and you see a message asking if you want to restart your computer, select No.

The projector displays the image from your computer's desktop and outputs sound, if your presentation contains audio.

1. If necessary, disconnect your computer's monitor cable.

2. Connect the VGA computer cable to your computer's monitor port.

3. Connect the other end to a Computer port on the projector.

4. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable. Note: To 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.

1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.

2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.

Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.

Connecting to a Computer for USB Mouse Control

If you connected your computer to a Computer, USB-B, or HDMI port on the projector, you can set up the remote control to act as a wireless mouse. This lets you control projection at a distance from your computer. To do this, connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable, if it is not connected already.

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

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

3. If necessary, configure your computer to work with an external USB mouse. See your computer documentation for details.

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 one of the projector's HDMI ports.

Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.

Connecting to an MHL-Compatible Device

If you have an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet, you can connect it to the projector using either an MHL cable or an HDMI cable with a device-compatible MHL adapter. If you have a device with a built-in MHL connector, plug it directly into the HDMI 1/MHL port.

Note: Some connected devices may not charge when using an MHL adapter.

1. Connect the MHL cable or adapter to your device's Micro-USB port.

2. If you are using an MHL adapter, connect it to an MHL-compatible HDMI cable.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's HDMI 1/MHL port.
