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

Preparing the Projector

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

Installing the Projector

19

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/Ceil­ing projection)
Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec­tion)
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 is required when suspending the
a
projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.118
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.81
Installation methods
Install the projector as follows.
Installing the Projector
20
Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen. If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image.
Place the projector on a level surface. If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.
See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the
a
screen. s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36
See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

When using a commercially available video or S-video cable
A
Connect the video or S-video output port on the image source to the projector's Video or S-Video port.
When using the optional component video cable
B
s "Optional Accessories" p.118

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.
a
When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".
You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio-L/R port using a
commercially available audio cable.

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(TypeA) port on the projector.
25
When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow.
s
"Slideshow examples" p.46
If the Document Camera is connected while projecting images from another input port, 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.
s
"Automatically Detect Input Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)" p.31
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.

Connecting External Equipment

You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker. You can also output microphone audio from the projector's speaker by connecting a microphone.
When outputting images to an external monitor
A
Connect the external monitor to the projector's Monitor Out port using the cable supplied with the external monitor.
When outputting audio to an external speaker
B
Connect the external speaker to the projector's Audio Out port using a commercially available audio cable.
When outputting microphone audio
C
Connect the microphone to the projector's Mic port. When using a condenser microphone, set Plug-in Power to On. s Extended - Plug-in Power p.81

- Outputting images to an external monitor
- Outputting microphone audio from the projector's speaker (only when Standby Microphone is set to On).
Extended - Standby Mode p.81
s s Extended - Standby Microphone p.81
Only analog RGB signals from the Computer1 port can be output to an external monitor. You cannot output signals input from other ports or component video signals.
Setting gauges for functions such as Keystone, Configuration Menu, or Help screens are not output to the external monitor.
When the audio cable jack is inserted into the Audio Out port, audio stops being output from the projector's built-in speakers and switches to external
output.

Connecting a LAN Cable (EB-925/EB-915W/EB-905/EB-96W/EB-95 only)

Connect a LAN port on network hubs or other equipment to the projector's LAN port with a commercially available 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable.
