Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
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.
• 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.
• Place the projector parallel to the screen.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projector Setup and Installation Options
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
Front
23
Rear
Front Ceiling
Rear Ceiling
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen,
not at an angle, if possible. If the projector cannot be centered in front of the screen, use lens shift to
reposition the image instead of using keystone correction for better image quality.
If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the
projector's menu system.

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 projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or
epson.ca/support (Canada).

See these sections to connect the projector to a variety of projection sources.

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 one of the projector's HDMI ports. If you are connecting an optical HDMI
cable, you must also connect the cable's USB power connector to the DC Out (2.0A) port.
You can also select the Fast setting using the Fine/Fast button on the remote control to reduce lag time.
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
pressing the HDMI Link button on the remote control and setting HDMI Link to On.

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.
2.Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports. If you are connecting an optical HDMI
cable, you must also connect the cable's USB power connector to the DC Out (2.0A) port.
Note: Built-in speakers are available only on the Home Cinema 3800. Make sure the HDMI audio
playback device on your computer's audio settings is set to EPSON PJ.
Parent topic: Projector Connections
Connecting to a Trigger Out Port
You can connect your projector to external devices such as motorized screens that support a trigger
signal. When active, a 12V signal is sent to the connected device while the projector is powered on.
Note: The Trigger Out port is available only on the Home Cinema 3800.
1.Connect a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack cable to the external device's trigger port. See your device's
documentation for details.
