User’s Guide
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.

Unpacking the Projector

After unpacking the projector, make sure you have all these parts:
note
If you mount the projector on the ceiling, the interface and button names on the projector will appear upside down. Attach the interface label stickers so that you can more easily read the names.
Projector and lens cap
Cable cover
Power cord
PDF manuals and
registration CD-ROM
Remote control and
2 AA batteries
VGA computer cable
Projector software
CD-ROM
Password Protected
sticker
Interface label stickers

18 Setting 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.

anti-theft
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 Digital Camera or Other USB Device

note
Use a cable less than 10 feet (3 meters) long and connect the camera or other device directly to the projector. Your projector may not function correctly if you use a longer cable or connect your camera to a USB hub.
If you connect a USB hard drive, make sure you use the AC adapter to power the hard drive.
The slideshow function on some devices may not work with the USB connection.
You can connect your digital camera, USB flash memory drive, USB hard drive, or multimedia storage viewer, such as the Epson P-7000 to the projector. Use the USB cable specified for your device, if necessary. Then you can use the projector’s PC Free feature. See the PC Free Operation Guide for more information.
1. Follow the instructions beginning on page 51 to turn on the projector.
2. Connect the USB drive or the flat end of the USB cable to the
USB port on the projector, as shown.

Turning the Projector On and Off

Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually (see page 56).
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cover.
note
You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals for 1 to 30 minutes (see page 126 to enable, disable, or adjust this setting). This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you want to start projecting again, press the you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord.

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.
56 Displaying 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.

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.

10.3 to 10.6.
Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) is required to achieve transfer speeds up to 54MB/sec on an
