Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Opening the Lens Cover
Projector Connections
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 mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
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.
Place the projector parallel to the screen.
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.
Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

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.) You can also
use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

Additional Components

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.
The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Note: When an audio/video source that meets the HDMI CEC standard is connected to the projector's
HDMI port, you can use the projector's remote control to control certain features of the linked device by
turning on the HDMI Link setting in the Settings menu.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, make sure the Audio Out
Device setting in the Settings menu is set correctly.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for
video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port.
Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.
30
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog signal
for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers. (Make sure
the HDMI audio playback device on your computer's audio settings is set to EPSON PJ.)
Parent topic: Projector Connections

Connecting to External Speakers

You can connect the projector to external self-powered speakers and control the volume using the
projector's remote control.
You can also connect the projector to an amplifier with speakers.
Note: The projector's built-in speaker system is disabled when you connect external speakers.
1. Make sure your computer or video source is connected to the projector with both audio and video
cables as necessary.
2. Locate the appropriate cable to connect your external speakers, such as a stereo mini-jack-to-pin-
jack cable, or another type of cable or adapter.
3. Connect one end of the cable to your external speakers as necessary.
4. Connect the stereo mini-jack end of the cable to your projector's Audio Out port.
