Positioning the Projector
The location in which you choose to set up your projector
depends on the size of the room and your presentation style.
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, within this
distance from the screen:
3.3 to 36 feet in Wide mode
3.9 to 43.2 feet in Tele mode
(see page 7 for more information on these modes)
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord, and within 5 feet of your
computer and/or video source.
❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. Otherwise, your
image will not be square.
Note
:
It’s best to position the screen directly in front of the room. If it’s
placed diagonally in a corner, it’s much more difficult to aim the
projector at the screen correctly and get a square image.
Most presenters find it convenient to place the screen in the
front of the room with the projector back near the front of the
audience, leaving ample room between the screen and
projector to get a good-sized image. Then the presenter can
stand in front of the room, facing the audience and control the
equipment from there.
Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Your image size may
not exactly match these sizes; its actual size depends on
whether you have adjusted the image size setting (using
keystone correction or the
Wide/Tele
button).
If you have to raise the projector by adjusting its feet
(described on page 7), you’ll need to square-up the sides of
image by pressing the
Keystone
button (also on page 7).
If you’ll be projecting from overhead, you’ll get the bestlooking picture by mounting the projector upside-down,
parallel to the ceiling, with the bottom of its lens level with the
top of the screen. (You’ll also need to select ceiling projection
mode in the projector’s Advanced menu.)
Displaying an Image
Once you’ve connected the projector to your computer or
other equipment, you’re ready to turn on the projector, adjust
the image, and give your presentation.
Turning On Your Equipment
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then plug in and turn on your
equipment, as described below.
Note:
If you have more than one source connected, you may have to
switch to the one you want to use, as described on page 8.
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on your equipment:
1. If you’re projecting video, first plug in and turn on your
VCR, DVD player, or other video source. (If you’re
projecting from a computer, go to step 2.)
2. To turn on the projector, first connect one end of the power
cord to the projector’s power inlet on its left side.
4 ft.8 ft.40 ft. distance from
the screen
When projecting from a table, the ideal arrangement is to set
the projector flat on its surface with the base of the lens at
about the level of the bottom of the screen. This delivers the
best-looking picture.
4 - EPSON Powerlite 51c/71c 12/01
3. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet.
Power
The
light on the projector turns orange, indicating
that the projector is receiving power and is in sleep mode,
but is not yet turned on.
