Setting Up the Projector 11
Ideally, keep the projector level and place it at a height so its lens is centered between the top and bottom of the screen. If this is not possible, use the lens shift dials to reposition the image. As a rule of thumb, you can use lens shift to move the image up or down by nearly its full height, and left or right by about one-half its width (for details, see page 22).

Caution: Do not try to move the lens by hand, or you may damage the projector. Always use the lens shift dials to change the lens position.
12 Setting Up the Projector
The size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen. Depending on your display settings and how you use the Zoom ring, the actual size may differ. Use these tables as a guide for projector placement:

To determine the exact image size when you know the projection distance (or the exact projection distance when you know the desired image size), you can use the Image Size Calculator. This program is available on the Epson website at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).
Also keep these considerations in mind:
■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose materials that could block the vents underneath.
■Make sure the projector is within 9.8 feet (3 m) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
In order to view 3D images correctly, 3D glasses must be worn within proper range of the projector. Use the image below to determine the ideal distance for 3D projection (the shading represents the 3D viewing area):
60º |
16.5 ft (5 m) |
13 ft (4 m) |
Use the optional external 3D emitter if you cannot view the 3D image normally or if the projector is located more than 16.5 feet (5 m) from the viewing area. See “Optional Accessories” on page 9 for ordering information.
14 Setting Up the Projector
To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 13 as a guide to positioning the projector.
To suspend the projector from a ceiling, you will need the included projector mount designed for the projector. Follow the instructions included with the mount to install the projector.
Warning: When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use any type of oil or lubricant. These may cause the projector casing to crack and the projector may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the projector.
If you install the projector on the ceiling, you will need to invert the picture so that it appears right side up. Follow these steps:
1.Press the Menu button on the remote control.
2.Open the Settings menu, then select Projection.
3.Select Front/Ceiling.
4.Press the Menu button to exit the menu system.

16 Setting Up the Projector
You can connect the projector to many types of video equipment, such as a Blu-ray Disc™/DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite box, video game console, camcorder, or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple® Mac® system. For details on compatible video formats, see page 73.
You can connect up to five pieces of equipment at the same time, using any of the commercially available cables shown below:

Setting Up the Projector 17
For best results, connect your video equipment to the HDMI port, if possible. If your equipment doesn’t support HDMI, connect it to either the Component (for high quality, component video) or Video (for composite video) port.
Note: You need to use a version 1.4 or higher HDMI cable to use the projector’s 3D features. If you aren’t sure if your HDMI cable is version 1.4 or higher, contact your cable manufacturer.
When you connect an HDMI cable to the projector, it is recommended that you fasten it with the included cable clip. Follow the steps below to install the cable clip.
Note: The included cable clips will fit most standard, round HDMI cables. The clips may not fit non-round or thick HDMI cables.
1.Connect the HDMI cable to one of the HDMI ports on the projector.
2.Insert the end of the cable clip anchor into the cable clip hole above the HDMI port, as shown below.
3.Place the open cable clip around the HDMI cable, but don’t lock it into place.
4.Slide the cable clip towards the projector and lock the clip onto the HDMI connector.
To remove the cable clip, unlock the clip and disconnect the HDMI cable. Then pinch the side of the cable clip anchor and carefully pull it out of the cable clip hole.
18 Setting Up the Projector
Connect the power cable and other cables described below, depending on how you plan to use the projector.
■ Plug the power cable into the projector and a grounded electrical outlet.
■To use an AV controller with the projector, connect a 9-pin null modem serial cable to the RS-232C port.
■To connect external devices such as motorized screens, connect a mini-jack stereo (3.5 mm) cable to the Trigger Out port and set the Trigger Out menu option to On. See page 51 for more information. The Trigger Out port uses a 12V DC (200 mA max) signal.
■To connect the optional External IR 3D Emitter, attach an RJ45 straight cable to both the emitter and the External 3D IR port on the back of the projector. See page 9 for part number and ordering information.
Setting Up the Projector 19
The remote control uses two AA batteries.
Warning: Keep batteries away from children. If a battery is swallowed, contact your doctor immediately.
1. Release the tab and lift open the cover.
2.Insert two new AA batteries as shown.
3.Reinsert the cover and press it down until it clicks into place.
Aim the remote control at the screen, or at the front or back of the projector. Make sure you are within 32 feet (10 meters) of the projector.
If you suspect the batteries are weak, press the illumination button. If the buttons do not glow, replace the batteries.
1.Turn on the power switch on the back of the projector.
2.Turn on any connected equipment you plan to use.
3.Press the On button on the remote control or the P power button on the projector.

The vertical position (V) can be adjusted by up to 96% of the height of the screen, while the horizontal position (H) can be adjusted by up to 47% of the width of the screen.
If one side of the image is taller than the other, make sure the projector is parallel to the screen. If necessary, adjust the front feet so that the projector is horizontal.
Adjustable feet
Note: If the projected image shape is not rectangular, the projector is not level with the screen. It’s best to adjust the physical position of the projector to correct this. If you still can’t correct the image shape by adjusting the position of the projector, use the vertical keystone buttons to fix the image shape.
