Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement Projector Connections Attaching and Removing the Cable Cover Attaching and Removing the HDMI Cable Clip Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image. You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways: Front
24
Rear
Front ceiling
Rear ceiling
Note: Be sure to leave at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space in front of the air exhaust and intake vents and, when setting up multiple projectors, 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the projectors.
25
If you mount the projector to the ceiling, it can be installed at the following angles:
• Vertically: Any angle up to ±30°.
• Horizontally: Can be tilted within the range of the rear feet.
26
If you project from the ceiling, set the Inv Direction Button setting (Extended > Operation) to On so that the operations on the screen match the control panel button commands.

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also use the projector Distance Calculator at global.latin.epson.com.

using an optional stereo 3.5 mm mini-jack audio cable. If you are projecting video using the Video or S-Video port, connect the projector to the video source
using an RCA audio cable.
Note: If you connected your video source to the projector using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is transferred with the video signal; you do not need an additional cable for sound.
1. Connect the audio cable to your video source's audio-out ports.
2. Do one of the following:
• Connect the other end of the cable to the projector's Audio port that corresponds to the Computer or BNC port you are using for video.
• Connect the red and white plugs on the other end of the cable to the projector's Audio L-R ports.

Note: The image cannot be moved to both the horizontal and vertical maximum values.
4. When you are finished, slide the lens shift dial lock as shown to lock the dials.
Follow these guidelines when using lens shift to adjust your images:
• When adjusting the image height, position the image lower than where you want it to be and then
move it up using the vertical lens shift dial. This will help prevent the image from moving down after adjustment.
• Keeping the vertical and horizontal lens shift dials in their center positions produces the clearest
picture.
