Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment,

you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the screen.

Follow the guidelines in this chapter for:

■ Positioning the projector

■ Turning the projector on and off

■ Selecting the image source

■ Troubleshooting display problems

■ Adjusting the image

note

You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 139 for details.

Positioning the Projector

If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.

Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other settings.

TBD

Also keep these considerations in mind:

■ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.

■ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and

under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything that could block the vents.

■ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical

outlet or extension cord.

14 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.

Projector

Screen

If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the buttons on the projector. See page 23 for detailed information about correcting the image shape.

For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room, see page 139.

note

After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see page 12.

anti-theft

Turning the Projector On and Off

Make sure your projector and any computer or video equipment are connected as described on page 39. Turn on your connected equipment before starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually (see page 18).

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 15

note

You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals or the A/V Mute slide remains closed for a period of time. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. To enable sleep mode, see page 112.

1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up and lift the front of the projector.

2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever to lock the foot in position.

3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level of the image by turning the projector’s adjustable rear feet.

Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,” but you can correct the shape as described on page 23.

Focusing and Zooming Your Image

Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image. Turn the zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the image.

22 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Focus Zoom

If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the

E-Zoom

buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. See page 31 for instructions.

Adjusting the Image Shape

In most cases, you can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the projector directly in front of the center of the screen with the base of the lens level with the bottom of the screen.

Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 30° up or down), the projector has an automatic keystone correction function that detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.

Corrected imageProjector tilted up Projector tilted down

It takes about one second after projection starts for the image to be corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone correction gauge appears on the screen.

If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using the Keystone buttons on the projector’s control panel or the projector’s Setting menu.
