Although images are displayed at the projector’s native
resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels, EPSON’s patented
SizeWise

chip supports computer display formats ranging
from VGA through UXGA.
To project images output from a computer, the computer’s
external monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical
frequency) that’s compatible with the projector; see the
following table for compatible formats. For best results, the
computer’s resolution should be set to match the projector’s
native resolution (1024

Positioning the Projector
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, leve l surface.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of
loose papers that could block the vents under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord.
Image size increases with distance, but varies depend ing on
how you’ve adjusted the optical zoom and other settings.
TBD
3 to 5 ft7 to 10 ft37 to 50 ft approx. distance
To find the projection distance (D) in inches when you know
the diagonal screen size (S) in inches:
❏ Wide zoom setting: D=(S × 1.49)-3.8
❏ Tele zoom setting: D=(S × 2.04)-3.8
To find the screen’s diagonal size (S) in inches when you know
the projection distance (D) in inches:
❏ Wide zoom setting: S=(D × 0.67)+2.6
❏ Tele zoom setting: S=(D × 0.49)+1.8
It’s best to place the projector directly in front of the center of
the screen, facing the screen squarely. If it isn’t placed this
way, the image will be “keystone” shaped, instead of square or
rectangular. If this happens, you can use the projector’s Quick

Corner
function to correct the image shape (see page 9).

If you place the projector between the top and bottom of the
screen, you can use the Lens Shift to raise or lower the image
(see page 8).

If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt
it up by extending its feet. This caus es the i mage to lose its
square shape, but you can correct the distortion by pressing
the
Keystone button as described on page 9.
Connecting the Projector
You can connect the projector to four computer sources or
five video sources—up to a total of six sources altogether. You
can include an independent sound channel for each of the six
sources.
Note that the projector’s Computer 1, Computer 2, and BNC
ports accept a variety of input signals. If you’re connecting to
one of these ports, you’ll need to make sure that the correct
input signal setting is selected, or your image wo n’t display
properly.
To change the input signal setting, do the following:
1. After turning on the projector, press the
Menu button. The
menu screen appears.

setting, as needed, to match the signal generated by
your computer or video equipment.
Viewing Images on an External Monitor
You can use an external monitor to display images from any
connected computer or video source. This lets you view your
presentation close-up, as well as on the projection screen.
Note: Some LCD monitors may not be able to display the image
correctly. If you have trouble displaying the image, connect a
multiscan monitor. If you’re projecting computer images, make
sure the computer’s refresh rate is set to 65 Hz or greater.
Type of connections
The following types of connections are possible, depending on
the kinds of signals your equipment generates and its available
output ports:

❏ You can also view images on the monitor while the
projector is in standby mode (plugged in but not turned
on), if the
ON
Standby Mode setting has been set to Network
in the Advanced1 menu.
Displaying an Image
If you turn on your computer or video equipment before
turning on the projector, the projector will automatically
select the connected source. If you have multiple sources
connected, you may have to switch to the desired source
manually (see “Selecting the Image Source” at right).
Turning 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. Plug in the projector.

power light flashes green as the
projector warms up, and an image begins
to appear after about 30 seconds. When the power light
stops flashing and remains green (in about a minute), the
projector is ready for use.
Warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This
can damage your eyes.
Note: You can preview all sources to help you select the desired
source (see page 6).
