Compatible Video Formats

To project images from a computer, the computer’s video card
must be set at a refresh rate that’s compatible with the
projector; see the following table for compatible formats. As
noted below, some images are automatically resized to display
in one of the projector’s “native” formats (such as XGA). In
addition, the frequencies of some computers may not allow
images to display correctly; see your computer’s
documentation for details.

Positioning the Projector

❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between

3 and 38.5 feet from the screen. Place it within 10 feet of an
electrical outlet or extension cord and 5 feet of your
computer or video source.

❏ Allow space for ventilation around and under the projector.

❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the

screen, facing the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image
will not be square.

EPSON PowerLite 735c Projector

Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you
position the zoom ring and whether you have adjusted the
image size with other settings.

3 to 4 ft6.5 to 7.5 ft33 to 38.5 ft Distance

from screen

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown on page 5.
This causes the projector to lose its square shape, but the
projector automatically compensates. You can manually
correct the distortion by pressing the

Keystone button as

described on page 5.

Turning On the Projector

Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:

1. Remove the lens cap.

Caution: Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place.
The heat generated by the lens can damage the cap.

2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s
power inlet.

3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
The P

power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet
turned on.

4. Press the red P
can also use the P

Power button on top of the projector. You

Power button on the remote control.

Ideal
height

If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If
you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen,
the image will still be square, but you won’t be able to fill the
whole screen with the image.

Starting Up the Projector

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below, followed by any equipment you’ve connected to it. You
can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order,
but if you have both a computer and video source connected,
you may have to switch to the desired source as described on
page 4.

and Computer/Component Video ports, or to
EasyMP

™

(for wireless network and memory card
