You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a mount if you want to use it in a fixed
location. An optional Ceiling Mount / Floor Stand is required when installing
the projector on a ceiling, a wall, or a floor.
The projector can be installed at various angles. There is no vertical or
horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.
Note the following points when selecting a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible
mount.
• Place the projector parallel to the screen.
If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct
a
keystone distortion using the projector controls.
• 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.
Page 16
Projector Placement
Warning
• You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling.
If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or
injury.
• Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws
from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the
projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could
cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the
projector.
• Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are
covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the
weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing
an accident and injury.
• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling
by using belts to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to
prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident
and injury.
• Do not install the projector in locations exposed to high humidity and dust, such
as on a kitchen counter, in the kitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations
exposed to oil smoke or steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock. In
addition, the oil content could cause the projector’s outer case to deteriorate and
could cause the projector to fall off from the ceiling where it is suspended.
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
Front/Rear
Attention
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude
Mode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's internal
temperature is regulated properly.

Projector Maintenance
You may need to clean the projection window periodically, and clean the air
filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked
ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the air filter and remote control
batteries. If any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized
Epson servicer.
Warning
Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord.
Never open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this
manual. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.

Page 69
Cleaning the Projection Window
Clean the projection window periodically, or whenever you notice dust or
smudges on the surface. To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the
projection window with lens-cleaning paper.
Warning
Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by
the projector may cause a fire.
Attention
Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the projection window and
do not subject the projection window to any impacts; otherwise, it could be
damaged.

Cleaning the Projector Case
Before cleaning the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the
power cord.
• To remove dust or dirt, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with water and mild
soap. Do not spray liquid directly on the projector.
Attention
Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemicals to clean the
projector case. These can damage the case. Do not use canned air, or the gases
may leave a flammable residue.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
71
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Clean
the air filer when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the
projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these
parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if you
use the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Attention
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you
when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait
until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure
to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector.

This section briefly explains the difficult terms that are not explained in the
text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available
publications.
Aspect RatioThe ratio between an image's length and its height.
Screens with a horizontal:vertical ratio of 16:9, such as HDTV
screens, are known as wide screens.
SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of
4:3.
ContrastThe relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image
can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand
out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this
particular property of an image is called contrast adjustment.
HDCPHDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection.
It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect copyrights by
encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI ports.
Because the HDMI port on this projector supports HDCP, it
can project digital images protected by HDCP technology.
However, the projector may not be able to project images
protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP
encryption.

HDMI
HDTVAn abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to
An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface.
HDMI™is a standard aimed at digital consumer electronics and
computers. This is the standard by which HD images and
multichannel audio signals are digitally transmitted.
By not compressing the digital signal, the image can be
transferred at the highest quality possible. It also provides an
encryption function for the digital signal.
high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions:
• Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p =
Progressive, i = Interlace)
• Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
InterlaceTransmits information needed to create one screen by sending
every other line, starting from the top of the image and working
down to the bottom.
Images are more likely to flicker because one frame is displayed
every other line.
PairingRegister devices in advance when connecting with Bluetooth
devices to ensure mutual communication.
ProgressiveProjects information to create one screen at a time, displaying
the image for one frame.
Even though the number of scan lines is the same, the amount
of flicker in images decreases because the volume of
information has doubled compared with an interlace system.
Refresh RateThe light-emitting element of a display maintains the same
luminosity and color for an extremely short time.
Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per
second to refresh the light-emitting element.
The number of refresh operations per second is called the
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTVAn abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers
to standard television systems which do not satisfy the
conditions for HDTV High-Definition Television.
