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 alkaline or manganese batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size alkaline or manganese.

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.

If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the product.

Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

• To restrict reception of the operation signals from the remote

control, set Remote Receiver. s Settings - Remote Receiver p.90

• When using a remote control provided with other Epson projectors, set the Remote Control Type.

s Extended - Operation - Remote Control Type p.91 The operating range depends on the remote control that you use.

Removing and Attaching the Projector Lens Unit

Attaching

Attention

• Do not attach the lens unit when the projector's lens insertion section is facing up. Dust or dirt could enter the projector.

• Only use the specified lens. See the following for a list of lenses that can be used with the projector.

s "Optional Accessories" p.148

Turn the torque ring on the lens unit to adjust the torque for the zoom ring.

Turn the focus ring clockwise until it cannot go any further.

Insert the lens unit straight into the projector's lens socket with the white dot at the top, and then turn it clockwise until you hear it click into place.

Tighter

Looser

Turn the lens unit counterclockwise and make sure that it does not come out of the socket.

Fix the lens unit removal button with the screw supplied with the lens unit.

Page 17

Part Names and Functions

Removing

Attention

• Only remove the lens unit when necessary. If dust or dirt enter the projector, projection quality deteriorates and it could cause a malfunction.

• Try not to touch the lens section with your hand or fingers. If fingerprints or oils are left on the surface of the lens, projection quality deteriorates.

• If the lens shift has been done, set the lens shift to the center before replacing the lens unit.

s "Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image (Lens Shift)" p.24

Make sure you fix the lens unit removal button with the screw to prevent the lens unit from being stolen.

Attention

• Store the projector with the lens unit installed. If the projector is stored without the lens unit, dust and dirt may get inside

the projector and cause malfunctions or lower the quality of projection.

• When the projector is facing up (35 to 150 degrees) or down (-35 to -150 degrees), tighten the lens torque ring. Note that it could malfunction if it is over tightened.

When the lens unit removal button is fixed with a screw, remove the screw.

While pressing the lens unit removal button, turn the lens unit counterclockwise until you hear it click.

Page 18

Part Names and Functions

Pull the lens unit straight out as it is released.

Preparing the Projector

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

Page 20

Installing the Projector

Installation Requirements

The projector can be mounted on a ceiling or placed on a desk. Also, it can be mounted at a tilted angle, so you can flexibly project images to various places.

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents.

Contact your dealer or the nearest address provided in the Support and Service Guide if you want to use this installation method. s Epson Projector

Contact List

• 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.

• 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.

The projector can be installed at the following angles.

Vertical: Can be installed at any angle in a complete 360 degrees.

-45

135

180

-135

-90

Horizontal: Can be tilted within the range of expansion and contraction for the rear feet.

Multi-Projection Function

When projecting to a wide screen from multiple projectors, you can adjust the difference of brightness and color tone between each projected image to create a seamless screen.

There are two general methods of projecting from multiple projectors.

U Projecting different images from each projector, and creating a seamless screen

V Projecting the same image from each projector, using the Scale function to

project a large image

Follow the steps below.

1. Set an ID for the projector and the remote control s p.28

2. Adjust the position of the projected image s p.57

3. Checking the Color Mode

4. Adjust the edges of the images (edge blending) s p.59

5. Adjusting to match colors

Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image

Adjust the position of the projected image, starting from the adjustments that have larger corrections.

1. Projector's position (angle) s p.20

2. Lens shift/Zoom s p.24

3. Geometric Correction

• Quick Corner s p.43

• Point Correction

• We recommend setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift at least 30

minutes after you start the projection, because images are not stable right after turning on the projector.

• The Test Pattern can be displayed to adjust the projection status without connecting video equipment. s p.23

• When projecting from multiple projectors, the correction is easier if you use the image in dot by dot format, that can be displayed without being enlarged or reduced.
