Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need to obtain the following additional
components:
• To receive an S-Video signal, you need an S-Video cable compatible with your device. See your local
computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
• To receive a component video signal, you need a D-sub, 15-pin, component-to-VGA video cable. You
can purchase one from Epson or an authorized Epson reseller.
• To receive an HDMI signal, you need a compatible HDMI cable. See your local computer or
electronics dealer for purchase information.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort 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. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through
the HDMI port.

Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide to install the projector using the included mounting
equipment.
• 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.
• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.

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.) For more
detailed information and installation instructions, see the Installation Guide. You can also use the
projector Throw Distance Calculator at www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support
(Canada).
