Important Safety Information
WARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes.
Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and
filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically
explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small
children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by
the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

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
■ Adjusting the image

15
note
You can mount the projector
on the ceiling, or place it
behind a translucent screen
for rear projection. See
page 151 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 illustrations and tables 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.
You can also use the Image Size Calculator

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.
■ Make sure the projector is within 9 feet (2.7 meters) (PowerLite
84+/85+/825+/826W+) or 5 feet (1.5 meters) (PowerLite 824+)
of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
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.
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 13.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 21
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 28 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 151.
Turning the Projector On and Off
Make sure your projector and any computer or video equipment are
connected as described on page 47. 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 25).

Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover).
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other
end into an electrical outlet.
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 117.

Never look into the lens
when the lamp is on. This
can damage your eyes, and is
especially dangerous for
children and pets.
note
If a power outage occurs
when Direct Power On is
enabled and the projector is
plugged in, the projector will
restart when the power is
restored.
The projector beeps once and the Ppower light flashes green as
the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When
the Ppower light stops flashing and remains green, the projector
is ready for use.
4. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 111.
Using the Direct Power On Function
The Direct Power On function enables faster setup. The projector will
start up automatically when you plug it in; you won’t have to press the
Ppower button.
Follow these steps to enable Direct Power On:

appear, see page 136 for
help.
You can also use the

Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:
■ If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See
page 27.
■ To focus or zoom your image, see page 27.
■ If the image isn’t square, see page 28.
■ If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 30.
■ If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see page 101.
26 Displaying and Adjusting the Image
Adjusting the Height of Your Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable
foot to raise it.
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 28.
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.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 27
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 35 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.
Keystone correction
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.
28 Displaying and Adjusting the Image
Using Keystone Correction
To adjust your image when it is wider on the top or bottom, do the
following:
■ Press one of the two keystone correction buttons on the
projector’s control panel, as shown below. Continue pressing the
button until you are satisfied with the shape of the image.
■ Or press the Menu button on the remote control or projector,
select the
Settings menu, and press Enter.

You can display a test
pattern to help align the
image (see page 109).
From the Settings menu, select
Keystone and press Enter. Use
the pointer buttons on the remote control to adjust the
keystone setting as needed.
If the image quality declines (for example, lines or edges look
jagged), reduce the sharpness setting. See page 105.
