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.

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.
After unpacking the projector, make sure you have all these parts:

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. If you are moving the projector by hand, use the projector handle. See page 143 for transportation instructions.
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.
18 Setting Up the Projector
■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.
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.

Also keep these considerations in mind:
■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 10 feet (3 meters) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
Setting Up the Projector 29
note
After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see
page 15.
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.
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).
