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.

Setting Up the Projector
T
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
1
■
Turning the projector on and off
19
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.
20
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.

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.

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.

Connecting to Video Equipment
You can connect several video sources to the projector at the same
time. Before starting, look at your video equipment to determine its
available video output connections:
■
If your video device has a yellow RCA video output connector, see
“Connecting a Composite Video Source” on page 30.
■
If your video device has an S-video connector, see “Connecting an
S-video Source” on page 31.
■
If your video device has a component video port (three connectors
labeled either Y/Cb/Cr or Y/Pb/Pr), see “Connecting a
Component Video Source” on page 32.
■
If your video device has an RGB video port, see “Connecting an
RGB Video Source” on page 33.
After connecting video cables, you may also want to connect an
optional audio cable to play sound through the projector; see page 35.
