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 Opening the Lens Cover

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.

• 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 projector Throw Distance Calculator at www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or

www.epson.ca/support (Canada).

Projector Connections

You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.

• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, streaming devices, digital cameras, smartphones, and tablets with compatible video output ports.

Note: To connect a smartphone or tablet, you may need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector. This allows you to mirror your smartphone or tablet screens, watch movies, and more. Contact your device manufacturer for compatible adapter options.

• For sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary.

• Connect any type of computer that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.

• For slide shows without a video source or computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera) or an optional Epson document camera.

Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

Connecting to Video Sources

Follow the instructions in these sections to connect video devices to the projector.

Connecting to an HDMI Video Source Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source Connecting to an S-Video Video Source Connecting to a Composite Video Source Connecting to a Video Source for Sound

Parent topic: Projector Connections

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 will convert the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear. To reduce the lag time, set your game console's output signal to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources

Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source

If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using a componentto-VGA video cable. Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter cable along with a component video cable.

1. Connect the component connectors to your video source's color-coded component video output

ports, usually labeled Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. If you are using an adapter, connect these connectors to your component video cable.

2. Connect the VGA connector to the projector's Computer port.

If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's Signal menu.

Connecting to an S-Video Video Source

If your video source has an S-Video port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional S-Video cable.

1. Connect the S-Video cable to your video source's S-Video output port.

2. Connect the other end to the projector's S-Video port.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear. To reduce

the lag time, set your game console's output signal to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources Related tasks

Connecting to a Video Source for Sound

Connecting to a Composite Video Source

If your video source has a composite video port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional RCA-style video or A/V cable.

1. Connect the cable with the yellow connector to your video source's yellow video output port.

2. Connect the other end to the projector's Video port.

Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear. To reduce

the lag time, set your game console's output signal to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources Related tasks

Connecting to a Video Source for Sound

You can play sound through the projector's speaker system if your video source has audio output ports. Connect the projector to the video source using an RCA audio cable.

Note: If you connected your video source to the projector using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is transferred with the video signal; you do not need an additional cable for sound.

1. Connect the audio cable to your video source's audio-out ports.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's Audio port or ports.

Note: To add additional sound, connect your video source and speakers to an audio video receiver, then connect the receiver to the projector using one of the receiver's compatible video outputs (an HDMI connection provides the best image quality, if available). You can also connect speakers to any video source that has its own speaker connections.
