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.

instructions.
18Setting Up the Projector
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 DVI-D video signal from your video device, you’ll
need a DVI cable (G5450WUNL/G5750WUNL only) or
DVI/HDMI conversion cable.
■To receive a component video signal from your video device,
you’ll need a component video cable. One may be provided with
your video equipment.
■To receive an RGB or component video signal from a video
device that has RGB or component (PrPbY or CrCbY)
connectors, you’ll need a BNC-type video cable. One may be
provided with your video equipment.
■To receive an S-Video signal, you’ll need an S-Video cable. One
may be provided with your video equipment.
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 which lens you’re using and whether you’ve adjusted the image
with vertical lens shift, zoom, or any other settings.
You can also use the Image Size Calculator
on the Epson website.
note
You can mount the projector
on the ceiling, or place it
behind a translucent screen
for rear projection. See
page 163 for details.

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 about level with the bottom of the screen.
Projector
Screen
If you place the projector below screen level, you can use the vertical
lens shift dial to raise the lens (see page 57). You can also tilt the
projector up by extending the front adjustable foot. Tilting the
projector causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can
correct the distortion (see page 58).
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location,
such as a theater or conference room, see page 163.
note
To connect a Macintosh
that includes only a Mini
DisplayPort or Mini-DVI
port for video output, you
need to obtain an adapter
that allows you to connect to
the projector's VGA video
port. Contact Apple for
compatible adapter options.

Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard
video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and
Macintosh computers, and hand-held devices.
If you have the optional wireless mouse receiver, you can use your
remote control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer
(page 70).

Displaying an Image
You may need to select the image source if you have multiple video
sources connected to the projector (such as a computer or DVD
player). Selecting the image source lets you switch between images
input from different pieces of connected equipment.
note
The projector can display a
test pattern to help you
adjust some image settings.
See page 119.
If you don’t see the image you want, press the
of the
Source buttons on the remote control, or the Source Search
Search button or one
button on the projector until you see the image you want to project.
You can also use the
Source buttons on the remote control to switch
between devices connected to the ports identified on each button.
Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:
■If the image is too high or too low, reposition it as described on
page 57.
■To focus or zoom your image, see page 58.
■If the image isn’t square, see page 58.
■To quickly adjust the color, brightness, or contrast, see page 60.
■To change the image aspect ratio, see page 61.
■If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see Chapter 5.
56Displaying and Adjusting the Image
Adjusting the Position of the Image
You can use the vertical lens shift dial on the top of the projector to
move your image up or down, or you can use the horizontal lens shift
dial to move your image left or right.
Vertical Horizontal
Additionally, if the projector is on a table, you can use the projector’s
adjustable feet to adjust the image:
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up and lift
the front of the projector.
note
Raising the projector with
the front adjustable foot
causes the image shape to
distort or “keystone,” but
you can correct the shape as
described on page 58.
2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever
to lock the foot in position.
Displaying and Adjusting the Image57
note
If you have installed the
Rear Projection Wide Lens
(part number
V12H004R03), you cannot
use the zoom ring to reduce
or enlarge the image, but
you can still use the
E-Zoom buttons on the
remote control.
3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image by
turning any of the projector’s adjustable feet.
Focusing and Zooming the Image
Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.
Turn the zoom ring (using the knobs on the ring) to reduce or enlarge
the image.
Focus Zoom
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
buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image.
See page 68 for instructions.

Adjusting the Image Shape
You can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the
projector directly in front of the screen and keeping it level. This also
produces the best picture quality. If the projector is tilted up or placed
at an angle, you’ll need to correct the image shape by using one of the
functions described below.

Using Keystone Correction
You can manually adjust the shape of the image to compensate for
vertical and horizontal keystone distortion.
Before performing horizontal or vertical keystone, use the lens shift

the EasyMP Network
Projection software as
described in the EasyMP
Network Projection
Operation Guide.
To connect to the projector
over a wireless network, your
computer must be running
Windows 7, Windows
Vista, Windows XP, or
Windows 2000. Your Mac
must be running Mac OS X
10.3 to 10.6.
Access Point mode
(infrastructure mode) is
required to achieve transfer
speeds up to 54MB/sec on an
802.11g network. Ad Hoc
mode (computer-tocomputer mode) limits
network connections to
11MB/sec. This is a
standard specification of
802.11g networking.
Using the Projector on a Network81
■Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) lets multiple computers
access the projector at the same time and easily trade off control
over the projector. To use Access Point mode, you need a wireless
(802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) access point or an AirPort
Extreme (or AirPort) base station, and one or more computers
with wireless network cards or adapters.
