* The image is resized using Epson’s SizeWise technology.
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface between
2.8 and 48.3 feet from the screen. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on the
position of the zoom ring and other settings.
29.8 to 48.3 ft
2.8 to 4.7 ft5.8 to 9.5 ft
❏ Place it within 10 feet of an electrical outlet or extension
cord and 5 feet of your computer or video source.
❏ Allow space for ventilation around and under the projector.
❏ To avoid a keystone shaped image (an image that is wider
on one side), place the projector directly in front of the
center of the screen, facing the screen squarely.
❏ If possible, place the projector level with the bottom of the
screen.
If you place the projector too far below the screen, you may
have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot (see
page 7). This causes the projected image to lose its shape, but
the projector automatically compensates. If the image is still
not square, adjust it manually by pressing the
buttons (see page 7) or using Quick Corner (see page 8).
If you place the projector higher than the bottom of the
screen, the image will be square, but it won’t fill the screen.
Calculating Image Size and Projection
Distance
Use the formulas below to find out how large the image will
be when you know the distance from projector to screen, or to
find out how far from the screen to place the projector if you
want an image of a certain size. Since you can change the
image size by adjusting the zoom, formulas are given for
calculating both minimum and maximum sizes.
Note: Formulas given here apply only when the image is not
tilted. If you tilt the image up by extending the projector’s foot or
using electronic keystone correction, your image size may vary.
To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when
you know the projection distance:
Distance
from screen
Keystone
❏ Maximum diagonal size =
(projection distance[inches] x 2.54 x 0.32827 + 1.6767)
❏ Minimum diagonal size =
(projection distance[inches] x 2.54 x 0.203 + 1.077)
To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you
know the diagonal size of the screen image:
❏ Maximum projection distance =
((diagonal size[inches] x 4.92611) - 5.30542) / 2.54
❏ Minimum projection distance =
((diagonal size[inches] x 3.04627) - 5.10769) / 2.54
Connecting the Projector
You can connect the projector to two computer sources or
four video sources—up to a total of four sources. You can
include an independent sound channel for each source. (See
the User’s Guide for complete setup instructions.)
Note: The preview feature lets you see all the sources at a glance,
so you can easily switch to the one you want. See page 5.
Types of Connections
The following connections are possible, depending on the
signal your equipment generates and its available output ports.

need to make sure that the correct input signal setting is
selected or your image won’t display properly.
Playing Sound Through the Projector
You can play sound through the projector’s speaker system or
attach an external speaker system.
To play sound through the projector, use one of the following
cables that came with your projector:

Starting Up the Projector
If you turn on your computer or video equipment before the
projector, the projector automatically selects the connected
source. If you turn on the projector first or you have multiple
sources connected, you may have to switch to the desired
source manually (see “Selecting the Image Source” below).
Turning On the Projector
1. Remove the lens cap.
2. Plug in the projector.
3. Wait a few seconds until the projector’s
flashing and turns orange.
4. Press the red P
Power button on top of the projector or on
the remote control.
Note: If you’re using the remote
control, make sure batteries are
installed and the power switch on
the side of the remote control is
turned on.
The projector’s
Power light flashes green as it warms up,
and an image begins to appear after about 30 seconds.
When the
Power light stops flashing and remains green,
the projector is ready for use.
Wa rn in g: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This
can damage your eyes.
5. If you’ve connected a Windows-based computer to the
projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard telling you
that your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if
so, click
Cancel.
Selecting the Image Source
If multiple devices are connected to the projector, you can use
the
Source buttons on the projector or the remote control to
switch from one source to another:
❏ You can press the
Source Search button on the projector’s
control panel or the remote to find the connected
equipment automatically.

input signals, so if you have equipment connected to one of
these ports, be sure to select the correct signal to match the
equipment you’re using. You can change the input signal
settings using the projector’s menu system.
Previewing Image Sources
Use the preview function to select the image source when you
have connected multiple sources to the projector.
1. Press the

What To Do If You See a Blank Screen
If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the message
No Signal after turning on your computer or video source, try
the following:
❏ Make sure the cables are connected correctly.
❏ Make sure the
Power light is green and not flashing and the
lens cover is off.
❏ Try restarting your computer.
❏ Press the correct
Source button on top of the projector or
on the remote control. (Allow a few seconds for the
projector to sync up after pressing the button.)
If you’re using a PC laptop:
❏ Hold down the Fn key and press the function key that lets
you display on an external monitor. It may have an icon
such as or it may be labeled
CRT/LCD. Allow a few
seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing it. Check
your laptop’s manual or online help for details.
On most systems, the or
CRT/LCD key lets you
toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or
display on both at the same time.
❏ Depending on your computer’s video card, you might need
to use the Display utility in the Windows Control Panel to
make sure that both the LCD screen and external monitor
port are enabled. See your computer’s documentation or
online help for details.
