Important Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using your Epson MovieMate:

■ Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product

yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

■ Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous

electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.

■ The projector’s accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from

small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

■ Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can

damage your eyes. Never let children or pets look into the lens when it is on.

■ Don’t place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Also, don’t stand on the

projector or place heavy objects on it.

■ Never push objects through the cabinet slots or spill liquid into the projector.

■ Do not use the projector near water, or sources of heat or vibration. Do not expose it to

rain or moisture.

■ Do not move the unit during playback.

■ Do not touch the projection lens with bare hands.

■ Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Do not use solvents

such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before
cleaning.

■ Do not use the projector in places where flammable gases or explosive gases may be

present in the atmosphere.

■ Do not use the projector in places where there is excessive humidity or dust, near cooking

or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam.
Do not use or store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.

■ Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use. Doing so will result in serious burns.

Before removing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait approximately one hour for the
lamp to cool completely.

■ The lamp is fragile and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with

extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact Epson to replace the lamp.

■ Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed, because the

possibility of lamp breakage increases. When the lamp replacement message appears,
replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.

Welcome 11

■ The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local

regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

■ The lamp in this projector is under high internal pressure and may make a loud noise if it

breaks. If it breaks, ventilate the room to prevent mercury gas inside the lamp from being
inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.

■ Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, to prevent burns from hot

air leaving the exhaust vent, and to prevent inhaling or contact with the gases inside the
lamp if it breaks.

■ Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the air exhaust

vents.

■ Do not place the projector near a flame.

■ Before you move the projector, make sure it is turned off, the plug is disconnected from

the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.

■ If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get

into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical
advice.

■ Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.

■ Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you’re not sure of the power

available, consult the power company.

■ If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct

power cord for that country.

■ Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■ Don’t place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or

damage to the plug.

■ Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cable excessively, and do not place heavy objects on

top of the power cable.

■ Do not modify the power cable.

■ Keep the power cable away from hot electrical appliances.

■ Do not pull the power cable when disconnecting the plug. Always be sure to hold the

plug when disconnecting it.

■ Don’t insert the plug into an outlet with dust present, and insert the plug firmly into the

outlet. Failure to do so could result in sparks or fire.

■ Don’t handle the plug with wet hands.

12 Welcome

■ Don’t overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can

cause fire or electric shock.

■ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions: when the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed; if liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain, water,
or excessive humidity; if smoke, unusual smells, or unusual noises come from the
projector; if it doesn’t operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if
it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service; if it has been
dropped or the housing has been damaged.

■ If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power plug, otherwise you may receive an

electric shock.

■ Keep the projector unplugged during electrical storms and when the projector is not in

use for extended periods.

■ Keep the batteries for the remote control out of the reach of children. Batteries are

choking hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed. If they are swallowed, seek
medical attention immediately.

■ Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.

■ Do not expose batteries to heat or flame and do not put them in water.

■ Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

■ Remove the batteries if you won’t be using the projector for an extended period.

■ Insert batteries so that the polarities are correct, and do not mix new and old batteries.

■ Do not use batteries other than those specified in this User’s Guide.

■ Don’t block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and

prevent the projector from overheating. Don’t operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or
other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

■ Don’t leave the projector or remote control on top of heat-producing equipment or in a

heated place, such as a car.

■ Don’t use the projector outside of the required temperature range (41 to 95 °F [5 to 35

°C]). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.

■ Don’t store the projector outside of the required temperature range (14 to 140 °F [–10 to

60 °C]) or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the
case.

■ Make sure there is at least 8 inches of space between the exhaust ventilation slots and the

wall or other object.

Welcome 13

■ Make sure there is at least 4 inches of space between the intake ventilation slots and the

wall or other object.

■ Avoid projecting a high-contrast still image for more than 15 minutes to prevent burn-in.

If this happens, project a bright screen until the burn-in disappears (from 30 to 60
minutes). If you can’t eliminate the burn-in, contact Epson as described on page 69.

■ Do not turn the volume too high, especially when using headphones. Listening to high

volume sounds over an extended period can damage your hearing. Sudden high volume
can also damage the speakers.

WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known
to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. (This notice is provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5 and following.)

Choosing a Location

You can use your Epson MovieMate just about anywhere—in the living room, bedroom, or
even outside. You can use it with an optional floor-, wall-, or ceiling-mounted screen, or
simply project on a flat white wall.

The following pictures show three different setups:

Front

To project onto a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth surface. When you find a
suitable wall for projection, you may want to consider coating the area with projection paint
to enhance the image quality. For details, see “Wall and Projection Screen
Recommendations” on page 21.

16 Unpacking and Setting Up

FloorBack

Your projector should be directly in front of the screen or
wall, facing straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the
surface).

If the image is too low, you can raise it by extending the feet
and tilting the projector up. This causes the image to lose its
rectangular shape. You can adjust the shape using the
keystone buttons on the remote control or the Visual Setup
menu. See page 24 for instructions.

The farther you place the projector from the screen or wall,
the larger the image will be.

The following tables list the distances required for various image sizes (measured diagonally).
Note that the zoom adjustment also affects image size.

Wide screen aspect ratio (16:9)

Image size (diagonal) Projection distance

30 in. 2.9 to 4 ft. (0.89 to 1.2 meters)

150 in. 16.1 to 21.8 ft. (4.9 to 6.6 meters)

200 in. 21.5 to 29.1 ft. (6.6 to 8.9 meters)

When setting up the projector, keep these considerations in mind:

■ Make sure you don’t block the air vents on the sides.

■ Make sure you place the projector within 9 feet (2.7 meters) of an electrical outlet, power

strip, or extension cord.

Wall and Projection Screen Recommendations

To optimize viewing of projector images, follow the recommendations in this section.

Viewing on a Wall

You can easily view Epson MovieMate’s high quality images on any flat white wall in your
home. There is no cost or setup involved, and you can project and resize the image up to any
size that fits on your wall. To enhance the image quality even further, you may want to paint
the wall with projection paint that is specially designed for optimum reflectivity and contrast
in your viewing environment.

Viewing on a Projection Screen

If you don’t have a suitable wall in your home or want a professional quality viewing
experience, you can use a projection screen. These screens have optical coatings with special
reflective properties that enhance brightness, contrast, and sharpness as well as providing a
frame around the image.

Projection screens are available in many shapes, sizes, mounting styles, colors, and surface
qualities, as described below.

Considering Screen Shape and Size

In a home theater setting—for watching DVD movies, HDTV broadcasts, or other
widescreen content—the best screen shape ratio is 16:9, where the width is almost twice the
height. Most DVD movies and HDTV broadcasts will fill the screen vertically and
horizontally for maximum impact. The most popular sizes are from 45 to 100 inches (114 to
254 cm) diagonal.

Playing Movies 21

Standard screens have a 4:3 shape ratio, which is better suited for viewing computer
presentations and standard TV broadcasts. Watching DVD movies or HDTV broadcasts on a
4:3 ratio screen limits the image width and leaves unused screen area above and below the
image. Available screen sizes vary, but are usually up to 60 inches (152 cm) diagonal (the same
height as an 80-inch [203-cm] diagonal 16:9 screen).

Considering Screen Mounting Style

Most screens are either floor-standing, wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted. Consider these
characteristics as you choose which type would be best for your viewing environment:

Screen mounting style Characteristics

Floor-standing screens Portable

Can be used in multiple locations
Can be stored out of the way
Some may also be wall-mountable

Wall-mounted screens Typically permanently installed

Can be partially hidden out of the way
Some may be disguised as artwork

Ceiling-mounted screens Typically permanently installed

Can be partially hidden out of the way
Some may be recessed into the ceiling and hidden completely
Can be manually or electronically dropped and raised

Outdoor screens Resistant to outdoor environmental factors

Considering Color and Surface Quality

For home theater settings, screens come in white or shades of gray. Gray screens (sometimes
called high contrast screens) increase the natural contrast of images projected in rooms with
ambient light by absorbing the room light and preserving the darker blacks. If you have a
dedicated home theater room with dark walls, ceiling, floor, and furniture, a gray screen may
not provide better contrast than a white screen. However, if you usually project images in a
typical living room or family room with some reflected light, a gray screen will provide better
contrast and a truer viewing experience.

22 Playing Movies

Can be used on patios, and around pools and landscaping
Usually made of inflatable plastic or vinyl

Screen surface quality can also affect the reflectivity of light in your projected image. Screen
reflective properties are measured as “gain” rates, with 1.0 gain as the reflectivity of a white
board. Highly reflective screen surfaces (above 1.0 gain) create a brighter image, but the
brightness may not be uniform enough for a dedicated home theater environment and the
colors may appear to shift from different viewing angles.

In a home theater room with darkened surroundings and controlled lighting, a screen surface
with less than 1.0 gain is best. For rooms where you cannot control the light or will always
have ambient light, you may want to select a screen surface with more than 1.0 gain to
compensate for the additional brightness.

Starting a DVD

Insert your DVD into the slot.

Warning: Close the lens cover before inserting or ejecting a disc. When the picture appears, do not
look into the lens, and do not allow children or pets to look into the lens. The bright light may affect
your vision.

After about 30 seconds, the projector warms up and the picture comes on.

Playing Movies 23

Adjusting the Picture

After you set up and start the projector, you may need to make certain adjustments.

■ If the image is too low, you can extend the feet (by pressing the foot adjustment levers)

and tilt the projector up.

■ If the image is horizontally tilted, you can turn the feet to level it.

■ Your projector automatically detects the vertical tilt and corrects the image shape. If you

find that the image is not rectangular, however, use the
control or the Keystone setting in the Signal menu (see page 52) to adjust the image
shape.

Caring for Your Epson MovieMate

The projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a regular basis is keep the lens
clean. You also may need to clean the air filter to help prevent overheating.

Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never
open any part of the projector, except as described in this User’s Guide. Dangerous electrical
voltages in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except
as specifically explained in this User’s Guide.

The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If another part needs replacing,
contact Epson or a qualified servicer (see page 69).

Follow the instructions in this section to clean the lens and case, clean and replace the air
filter, replace the lamp, and store or transport the projector.

Protecting Epson MovieMate

The projector is designed for use virtually anywhere at home. However, the projector and its
accessories should not be exposed to water, smoke, direct heat or sunlight, or left outside for
long periods of time. As with other electronic equipment, please avoid exposure of the
projector to moisture, dust, smoke, and other environmental factors which may result in
damage to internal electronics over time. See the warranty brochure included with your
projector for additional details on the use of the projector.

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

To remove dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens
cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

Caution: Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.

54 Caring for Your Epson MovieMate

Cleaning the Case

Before you clean the case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

■ To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

■ To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral

detergent. Wring the cloth as dry as possible, then wipe the case.

Caution: Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can
damage the case. Never spray cleaners directly on

the projector.

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and air intake vent when dust builds up or when you see the following
message:

The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vents, and
clean or replace the air filter.

Dust clogs prevent proper ventilation, which can cause overheating and damage the projector.

the projector off. When you hear a short beep, disconnect the power cable.

2. Use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment to clean
the filter, as shown.

If you cannot clean the removable filter or it is broken, you need to replace it.

You can purchase a new filter (part # V13H134A26) from an Epson authorized reseller.
To find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can purchase
online at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).
