Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Projector Placement
Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount).
You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Follow the instructions in the online Installation Guide to install the projector.
• 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.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode
setting to On in the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is
regulated properly.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
• If installing on a wall, the wall mount (V12HA06A05) is required.
• If the projector is not mounted, install the front projector feet and place it on a sturdy, level surface.
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector
squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.

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.
Refer to the tables in the online Installation Guide 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.) You can also use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada),
or here (Caribbean).

Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector
through the computer's USB port (a USB 2.0 cable is recommended). Connect the projector to your
computer using a USB cable.
Note: If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate properly. Connect the USB cable directly to
the projector.
Note: A USB connection may cause a delay for content requiring high bandwidth, such as movies. An
HDMI connection is recommended for projecting movies, video games, and other home entertainment
content.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.
3. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.
4. To use USB Display, do one of the following:
• Windows 10/Windows 8.x: Click EPSON_PJ_UD in the upper right-corner, then select Run
EMP_UDSE.exe in the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.
• Windows 7/Windows Vista: Select Run EMP_UDSE.exe in the dialog box that appears to install
the Epson USB Display software.
• Mac: The USB Display setup folder appears on your screen. Select USB Display Installer and
follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epson USB Display software.
30
Follow any on-screen instructions. You need to install this software only the first time you connect
the projector to the computer.
The projector displays the image from your computer's desktop and outputs sound, if your presentation
contains audio.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio
If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, 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.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog signal
for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers. (Make sure
the HDMI audio playback device on your computer's audio settings is set to EPSON PJ.)
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, you can use one of the
projector's audio ports instead to play sound. Connect one end of an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack
audio cable to one of the projector's audio ports and the other end to your computer's audio out port.
Then select the audio port you connected to as the HDMI1 Audio Output, HDMI2 Audio Output or
HDMI3 Audio Output setting in the Signal I/O menu.

Connecting to a Computer for Sound
If your computer presentation includes sound and you did not connect it to the projector's USB-B or an
HDMI port, you can still play sound through the projector's speaker system. Just connect an optional
3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio cable as described here.
1. Connect the audio cable to your laptop's headphone or audio-out jack, or your desktop's speaker or
audio-out port.

Image Shape
You can project an evenly rectangular image by placing the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen and keeping it level. If you place the projector at an angle to the screen, or tilted up or down, or off
to the side, you may need to correct the image shape for the best display quality. After correction, your
image is slightly smaller.
For the best quality images, try to adjust the projector's position to achieve the correct image size and
shape. After you have corrected the position of the projector, you can use the adjustments in this section
to correct the image shape. You cannot correct an image shape using multiple correction methods at the
same time.
