This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Projector Features

7

Project Realistic 3D Images

Project stunning 3D content from media such as 3D Blu-ray discs or 3D games. You need the optional active 3D Glasses (ELPGS03) to view 3D images.

s "Projecting 3D Images" p.48

Quick and Easy Set up, Projection, and Storage

x Turn the projector

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

(Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

xA 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.

xIf 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.

xDo 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.

ax An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

s "Optional Accessories" p.106

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

s Extended - Projection p.78

xYou 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.

Installing the Projector

 

21

 

 

 

x 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

xPlace the projector on a level surface.

If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.

ax See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.

s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.34

xSee the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.41 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.34

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.

s "Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.108

aWhen you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be reduced.

The illustrations are for EB-W16.

The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected.

Connecting a Computer

To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.

AWhen using the supplied or commercially available computer cable

Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer port.

You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the computer to the projector's Audio-L/R port using a commercially available audio cable.

BWhen using the supplied or commercially available USB cable

Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's USB(TypeB) port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.

CWhen using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the computer's HDMI port to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.

Connecting Image Sources

To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.

AWhen using a commercially available video or S-video cable

Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port. Or, connect the S-Video output port on the video equipment to the projector's S-Video port.

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.

BWhen using the optional component video cable s"Optional Accessories" p.106

Connect the component output port on the image source to the projector's Computer input port.

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.

CWhen using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the HDMI port on the image source to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the image source's audio with the projected image.

Attention

x If

the

input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could cause a malfunction.

 

x If

the

orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could

malfunction.

 

 

 

 

 

x 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.

ax When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No

resistance".

Connecting Equipment

 

25

 

 

 

Connecting USB Devices

You can connect devices such as the optional Document Camera, a USB memory, 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.

When the USB device is connected, you can project files on the USB memory or digital camera using PC Free. s "PC Free examples" p.54

Attention

x 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.

x When

connecting and using

a USB-compatible hard disk, make

sure

you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.

x Connect a digital camera or

hard disk to the projector using a

USB

cable supplied with or specified for use with the device.

x Use a

USB cable less than 3

m in length. If the cable exceeds

3 m,

PC Free may not function correctly.

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 Equipment

 

26

 

 

 

Connecting External Equipment (EB-W16 only)

You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker.

AWhen outputting images to an external monitor

Connect the external monitor to the projector's Monitor Out/Computer2 port using the cable supplied with the external monitor.

BWhen outputting audio to an external speaker

Connect the external speaker to the projector's Audio Out port using a commercially available audio cable.

a

x When outputting images to an external monitor, set Monitor Out Port to Monitor Out from the Configuration menu.

s Extended - Operation - Monitor Out Port p.78

 

 

 

x If you set Standby Mode to Communication On, you can output images to

an external monitor even

if the projector is in standby mode.

 

s Extended - Standby Setup - Standby Mode p.78

 

 

 

x Only analog RGB signals from the Computer port can be output to an external monitor. You cannot output signals input from other ports or component video

 

signals.

 

 

 

x Setting gauges for functions such as Keystone, Configuration Menu, or Help

screens are not output to

the external monitor.

xWhen 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.
