Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement Projector Connections Attaching and Removing the Side Cover Installing Batteries in the Remote Control Setting Up Android TV

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 if you want to use it in a fixed location. An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling. Click the "Important Safety Instructions" link below to read important safety instructions before mounting the projector.
There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.
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.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Settings menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
• If installing on the ceiling, remove all projector feet.
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.
• To change the projected image size, move the projector closer to or further away from the surface you are projecting onto.
• Try not to set up the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
Front
Rear
24
Page 25
Front ceiling
Rear ceiling
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an angle, if possible. If the projector is installed at an angle, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector.
If you project from the ceiling or wall, or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the projector's menu system.
25
Page 26
Note: Install the projector appropriately to prevent it from falling down. Use M4 screws (up to a depth of
0.35 inches [9 mm]) to fix the projector's ceiling mount fixing points and the mounting hardware at the
four points.
Installation space
Be sure to leave the following amount of space around the projector so as to not block the air exhaust or intake vents.
1 0.9 inches (2.3 cm)
2 7.9 inches (20 cm)
3 3.9 inches (10 cm)
26
Page 27
When installing multiple projectors side-by-side
Without partition
If you are installing multiple projectors next to each other, make sure hot air from the exhaust vent does not go into the air intake vent of the other projector.
1 43.3 inches (110 cm)
With partition
If you use a partition, you can narrow the space between the projectors.
1 Partition
2 7.9 inches (20 cm)

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.)
27
Page 28
You can also use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).
Note: You can use the Flexible Picture menu to reduce the projected image size and change the position of the image without moving the projector.

Connecting to an HDMI Video Source

If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
Caution: Do not turn on the video source before connecting it to the projector. Doing so could damage the projector.
Note: If the port on your device has an unusual shape, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector. Some video equipment is capable of outputting different types of signals. See your video equipment manual to confirm what types of signals can be output.

Projector Maintenance

Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.
You may need to clean the projection window, obstacle sensors, and motion sensor periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the air filter and remote control batteries. If any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
This projector uses a sealed laser light source which does not need servicing and cannot be replaced.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off, unplug the power cord, and let it cool down. Never open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
Warning: Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this manual. Refer all other servicing to Epson qualified servicers.
