Important Safety Information

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.

Welcome

Setting Up the Projector

his chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to a notebook or desktop computer or to video devices, such as a DVD player, VCR, or video camera.

Follow the instructions in this chapter on:

■

Unpacking the projector

■

Positioning the projector

■

Connecting to a computer

■

Connecting to video equipment

■

Connecting an external monitor

■

Playing sound through the projector

■

Turning the projector on and off

Unpacking the Projector

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

Password Protected

sticker

2 AA batteries (for remote control)

Carrying case

Projector

Power cord

VGA computer cable

PDF manual and

registration CD-ROM

Remote control

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. See page 79 for transportation instructions. If you are moving the projector by hand, use the carrying case.

Setting Up the Projector

Additional Components

Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need additional components:

■

To receive a component video signal from a DVD player or other video device, you’ll need a component-to-VGA video cable. One may be included with your video equipment, or you can purchase the ELPKC19 cable from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 16.

■

To receive an S-video signal, you’ll need an S-video cable. One may be included with your video equipment.

■

To receive an audio signal, you’ll need a stereo mini-jack to RCA-type audio adapter cable (with red and white jacks on one end).

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.

Keep these considerations in mind as you position the projector:

■

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 5.9 feet (1.8 meters) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Setting Up the Projector

Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on the aspect ratio (image shape), how you zoom into the image, and whether you’ve adjusted other image settings. Use the illustrations and tables below to help you determine the projection distance. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)

Projector Placement Options

When projecting from the front, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. The center of the lens should be about level with the bottom of the screen.

Front projection

Setting Up the Projector

If you place the projector below screen level, you may need to tilt it 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 44).

You can also install the projector in three other viewing setups: ceiling projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ ceiling projection.

Rear projectionCeiling projection Rear/ceiling projection

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting hardware (see page 16). You’ll also need to select the appropriate

Projection

setting in the projector’s Extended menu to orient the

image correctly (see page 62).

Connecting to a Computer

You can connect the projector to a Windows or Macintosh computer using the projector’s

TypeB

USB port. This lets you carry a lightweight cable with you when you transport the projector (see page 26).

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. See page 28 for instructions.

To play sound through the projector, connect an audio cable (see page 35).

You may be able to use your remote control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer (see page 52).

note

To connect a Macintosh that includes only a Mini Display Port 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.

Setting Up the Projector

Connecting to the USB Port

You can connect a PC with a 32-bit version of Windows 7, Windows

Vista

, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 (SP4) or a Macintosh computer with OS X 10.5.1 or 10.6.x to the projector’s (square) USB port and project your computer’s display. A USB

2.0 connection (recommended) provides better picture quality and response than USB 1.1.
