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.

Setting Up the Projector
This chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to
video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, or video camera, or to
a notebook or desktop computer.
You can also connect the projector to a USB storage device or digital
camera.
Follow the instructions in this chapter on:
■ Unpacking the projector
■ Positioning the projector
■ Connecting to video equipment
■ Connecting to a computer
1
■ Playing sound through the projector
■ Connecting to a digital camera or other USB device
■ Turning the projector on and off
17
Unpacking the Projector
After unpacking the projector, make sure you have all these parts:
PDF manual and
registration CD-ROM
Projector
Component-to-VGA
video adapter
Power cord
Carrying case
Remote control
and batteries
Save all packaging in case you need to ship the projector. Always use
the original packaging (or the equivalent) when you need to send the
projector to another location; see page 67 for instructions.
Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need
additional components:
■ To receive an HDMI signal from your video device, you’ll need
an HDMI cable. One may be provided with your video
equipment.
■ To receive a component video signal from a DVD player or other
video device, you’ll need a component video cable (one may be
provided with your video equipment) and the
component-to-VGA video adapter that came with the projector.
■ To receive an S-Video signal, you’ll need an S-Video cable. One
may be included with your video equipment, or you can purchase
one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 15.
18 Setting Up the Projector
■ To receive an audio signal, you’ll need an RCA-type audio cable
with two male plugs, or a stereo mini-jack audio adapter cable
(not necessary with HDMI connection).
Positioning the Projector
You can place the projector in a variety of viewing setups.
When projecting from the front, place the projector directly in front
of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. The center of
the lens should be about level with the bottom of the screen.
If you place the projector below screen level, you may need to tilt it up
by extending the front adjustable foot (see page 35). Tilting the
projector causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can
correct the distortion (see page 35).
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 15.
®
anti-theft
You can also install the projector on the ceiling using the optional
ceiling mounting hardware (see page 15). Use the projector
dimensions on page 14 to assist you in installing the projector.
Setting Up the Projector 19
You can also install the projector in two other viewing setups: rear
projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection.
If you project from overhead or the rear of the screen, you’ll need to
select the appropriate
Projection setting in the projector’s Extended
menu to orient the image correctly (see page 52).
Keep these considerations in mind as you position the projector:
■ 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 5.9 feet (1.8 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
Determining Projection Distance
Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on the
aspect ratio (image shape), how you zoom into the image, and
whether you’ve adjusted other image settings. Use the illustrations and
tables below to help you determine the projection distance.

Connecting to Video Equipment
22 Setting Up the Projector
You can connect several video sources to the projector at the same
time. Before starting, look at your video equipment to determine its
available video output connections:
■ If your video player has an HDMI connector, see “Connecting an
HDMI Video Source” on page 23.
■ If your video player has a component video port (three connectors
labeled either Y/Cb/Cr or Y/Pb/Pr), see “Connecting a
Component Video Source” on page 24.
■ If your video player has a yellow RCA video output connector, see
“Connecting a Composite Video Source” on page 25.
■ If your video player has an S-Video connector, see “Connecting
an S-Video Source” on page 25.
■ If your video player has an RGB video port, see “Connecting an
RGB Video Source” on page 26.
After connecting video cables, you may also want to connect an
p
f
optional audio cable to play sound through the projector; see page 28.
If you connect using an HDMI cable, the video and sound are both
transferred and you won’t need to connect any additional cables for
audio.
Connecting an HDMI Video Source
For the best image and sound quality, connect your video equipment
to the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, if
possible.
Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI connector on your player and
the
HDMI port on the projector.

note
If an HDMI cable was not
rovided with your video
device, you can purchase one
