Placing the Furniture

Before proceeding with the installation, move the furniture you will place the projector on to its final location. This will give the furniture time to settle into the floor as needed, which is especially important for softer surfaces like carpets and rugs.

1.Place the furniture based on the projector to wall distance measurements indicated below.

Wall

31.5 inches/80 cm (for 100" screen)

36.5 inches/92.7 cm (for 120" screen)

17 inches/43.2 cm (for 100" screen)

22 inches/55.9 cm (for 120" screen)

2.If your furniture has adjustable feet, use them to level the furniture along both axes (allow time for settling as needed).

Assembling the Jig

To help you with projector positioning, Epson has provided a cardboard jig that you can use to determine the required distance between your projector and the wall.

1.Place the jig with the DO NOT DISCARD labels facing down, then fold one of the larger flaps and its tab up.

2.Fold the smaller flap and its tabs up.

Placing the Projector

Projecting the Wall Bracket Guide

To help you identify drill hole locations for the wall brackets, Epson has created a guide image that you can project onto your wall.

1.Connect the free end of the HDMI cable to your computer, then turn the computer on.

2.Visit www.epson.com/support/LS500 (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support/LS500 (Canada) and download the Wall Bracket Guide file for your screen size.

3.Set your computer’s resolution to a value with a 16:9 aspect ratio (1920 × 1080, 3840 × 2160, etc.).

Note: If your computer does not offer a 16:9 resolution option, wait until after you turn on the projector and then check the available resolutions again.
