Installing the Projector

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.

• 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.

Attention

Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the

projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.106

• The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.

s Extended - Projection p.78

• You can change the Projection mode as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

Installation methods

Install the projector as follows.

Page 21

Installing the Projector

• 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.

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the projection distance.

"Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.108

When you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be

Cautions regarding using 3D Glasses

Caution

• Do not drop or press too forcefully on the 3D Glasses. If the glass sections and so on are broken, an injury could occur. Store the

glasses in the soft glasses case supplied.

• Be careful of the edges of the frame when wearing the 3D Glasses. If they poke your eye and so on, an injury could occur.

• Do not place your finger in any of the moving sections (such as the hinges) of the 3D Glasses.

Otherwise an injury could occur.

• When disposing of the 3D Glasses, follow your local rules and regulations.

• Make sure you wear the 3D Glasses correctly.

Do not wear the 3D Glasses upside down. If the image is not displayed correctly, it could cause you to feel unwell.

• Do not wear the glasses unless you are viewing a 3D image.

• How a 3D image is perceived varies depending on the individual. Stop using

the 3D function if you feel strange or cannot see in 3D. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.

• Stop wearing the 3D Glasses immediately if they seem abnormal or a malfunction occurs. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you harm and to feel unwell.

• Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your ears, nose, or temples become red, painful, or itchy. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.

• Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your skin feels unusual when wearing the glasses. The paint or materials used in the 3D Glasses could cause an allergic reaction.

Cautions when viewing images

Caution

When viewing 3D images, always take periodic breaks during extended viewing. Long periods of viewing 3D images may cause eye fatigue.

The necessity and timing of breaks varies from person to person. If your eyes still feel tired or uncomfortable even after taking a break from viewing, stop viewing immediately.

Page 53

Projection Functions

Cautions regarding viewing methods

Caution

• If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop viewing immediately. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.

• When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt to view 3D images without 3D Glasses. Doing so could cause you to feel unwell.

• Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D Glasses.

3D images may cause you to move your body involuntarily, resulting in damage to nearby items or personal injury.

• Only wear 3D Glasses when viewing 3D images. Do not move around while wearing 3D Glasses. Your vision may appear darker than normal, causing you to fall or injure yourself.

• View from in front of the screen. Viewing 3D images at an angle reduces the 3D effect and may cause you to

feel unwell due to unintended color changes.

• If using 3D Glasses in a room with fluorescent or LED lighting, you may see flashing or flickering throughout the room. If this should occur, reduce the lighting until the flickering goes away or turn off the lights completely when viewing 3D images. This flickering could trigger seizures or fainting for some individuals. If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell at any time when viewing 3D images, stop immediately.

• Stay at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when viewing 3D images.

The recommended viewing distance for an 80-inch screen is at least 3 meters, and at least 3.6 meters for a 100-inch screen. Sitting or standing any closer than the recommended viewing distance may result in eye fatigue.

• When viewing 3D images, we recommend using a screen size smaller than 120 inches.

If the screen size is too large, you may experience eyestrain or nausea due to the content, viewing environment, your physical condition, and so on.

Cautions for the viewer

Caution

You should not use 3D Glasses if you are sensitive to light, have a heart condition, or are unwell. Doing so could aggravate your pre-existing conditions.

Cautions regarding the viewing age (for children)

Caution

• The minimum recommended age to view 3D images is six years old.

• Children under the age of six are still developing and viewing 3D images may

cause complications. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

• Children viewing 3D images through 3D Glasses should always be accompanied by an adult.

It is often difficult to tell when a child is feeling tired or uncomfortable, which could result in them feeling suddenly unwell. Always check that children in your care are not experiencing any eye fatigue during viewing.

Projecting Without a Computer (PC Free)

By connecting a USB storage device such as a USB flash drives or a USB hard disk to the projector, you can project the files stored on the device without using a computer. This function is called PC Free.

• You may not be able to use USB storage devices that incorporate

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Caution

Turn off the projector's power before cleaning. Otherwise, it could cause an electric shock.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the 3D Glasses

Clean the lenses of the glasses by wiping them gently with a soft cloth.

Attention

• Do not rub the lenses of the glasses with harsh materials or handle them too roughly as they can easily become damaged.

• When maintenance is necessary, disconnect the USB Charging Adapter from the electrical outlet, and check that all cables have been disconnected.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Warning

Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dust and lint from the lens. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed.

"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."

Page 99

Cleaning

Attention

• If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

• Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter.

s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.103

• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period

It is time to replace the lamp when:

• The following message is displayed. "Time to replace the lamp. Please contact your Epson projector reseller or

visit www.epson.com to purchase." The message is displayed for 30 seconds.

• The lamp indicator flashes orange.

Attention

• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.

For EB-W16 When using Power Consumption continually at Normal: About 3900 hours When using Power Consumption continually at ECO: About 4900 hours

Settings - Power Consumption p.77

For EH-TW550/EH-TW510 When using Power Consumption continually at High: About 3,900 hours When using Power Consumption continually at Low: About 4,900 hours s Settings - Power Consumption p.77

• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

How to replace the lamp

The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.
