Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you will need to obtain the following additional
components:
• To receive a composite video signal, you need three RCA-style video or A/V cables and a splitter that
supports composite video signals. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase
information.
• To receive an S-Video signal, you need three S-Video cables compatible with your device and a
splitter that supports S-Video signals. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase
information.
• To receive a VGA signal, you need two VGA computer cables (you can purchase them from Epson or
an authorized Epson reseller). If you want to connect the projector using a splitter, you also need a
splitter that supports VGA signals (see your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase
information) and a third VGA computer cable.
• To receive a component video signal, you need a D-sub, 15-pin, component-to-VGA video cable and
two VGA computer cables (you can purchase them from Epson or an authorized Epson reseller). You
also need a splitter that supports component video signals (see your local computer or electronics
dealer for purchase information).
• To receive an HDMI signal, you need three compatible HDMI cables and a splitter that supports HDMI
signals. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
• To receive and view a 3D signal, you need three compatible HDMI cables, a splitter that supports 3D
signals, and a silver screen (recommended gain: 2.3 to 2.7). See your local computer or electronics
dealer for purchase information.
• To project with audio from certain ports, you may need a commercially available audio cable
compatible with your device. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase information.
Note: If your video device is equipped with two video outputs, you may not need a splitter and you may
only need two video cables.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort or Mini-DVI port for video output, you may
need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect an HDMI port or VGA video port. Contact Apple for
compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the
HDMI port.

Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Opening the Lens Covers
Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project your presentation.
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 to view presentations in the following ways:
Note: To view 3D images, you must project onto the front of a silver screen designed for passive 3D
images.
Front
24
Rear
Front Ceiling
Rear Ceiling
25
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen,
not at an angle, if possible.
If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the
projector's menu system.

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.
Note: When you are viewing 3D images, you can use screen sizes up to 120 inches.
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.) For more
detailed information and installation instructions, see the Setup Guide.

Projector Connections
You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display
presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.
• Connect any type of computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port or HDMI port
• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and
camera phones with compatible video output ports.
Minimum to Maximum
(255 to 278 cm)
(319 to 348 cm)
(383 to 418 cm)
(479 to 523 cm)
• If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary.
Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode
to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

Connecting to Video Sources
Follow the instructions in these sections to connect video devices to the projector.
Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source
Connecting to an S-Video Video Source
Connecting to a Composite Video Source
Connecting to a Video Source for Sound
Parent topic: Projector Connections
Connecting to an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using optional HDMI cables
and a splitter that supports HDMI signals. The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
Note: If your video source has two HDMI ports, you may not need a splitter.
1. Connect an HDMI cable between your video source's HDMI output port and the splitter.
2. Connect an HDMI cable between each projector's HDMI port and the splitter.
Note: The projector will convert the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
29
Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear. To reduce
the lag time, set your game console's input signal to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your
game console documentation for instructions.
Parent topic: Connecting to Video Sources
Connecting to a Component-to-VGA Video Source
If your video source has component video ports, you can connect it to the projector using a componentto-VGA video cable, two VGA computer cables, and a splitter that supports component video signals.
Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter cable along with a component
video cable.
Note: If your video source has two sets of component video ports, you may not need a splitter.
1. Connect the component connectors to your video source's color-coded component video output
ports, usually labeled Y, Pb, Pr or Y, Cb, Cr. If you are using an adapter, connect these connectors
to your component video cable, then connect the VGA connector to the splitter.
2. Connect a VGA computer cable between each projector's Computer port and the splitter.
Note: If you choose the Computer2 ports, you may need to change the Monitor Out Port setting in
the projector's Extended menu.
If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's
Signal menu.
