Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control Opening the Lens Cover

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.

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.)

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 USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.
• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and smartphones with compatible video output ports.
• If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary.
• For slide shows without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera) or an optional Epson document camera.
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 an HDMI Video Source
If your video source has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable. The HDMI connection provides the best image quality.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your video source's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts 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.
Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format 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 an optional component-to-VGA video cable. Depending on your component ports, you may need to use an adapter cable along with a component video cable.
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.
29
Page 30
2. Connect the VGA connector to a Computer port on the projector.
Note: If you choose the Computer2 port, you may need to change the Monitor Out Port setting in
the projector's Extended menu.
3. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.
If your image colors appear incorrect, you may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector's Signal menu.
Note: If you connected a game console, it may take a few seconds for your image to appear when you switch to the game console's input source. To reduce the potential lag in response time to game commands, set your game console's output format to a progressive signal of 480p or 720p. See your game console documentation for instructions.

Connecting to a Video Source for Sound
You can play sound through the projector's speaker system if your video source has audio output ports. 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.

Windows 7/Windows Vista: Select Run EMP_UDSE.EXE in the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.
Windows XP: Wait as messages appear on your computer screen and the projector installs the Epson USB Display software on your computer.
Windows 2000: Select Computer, EPSON_PJ_UD, and EMP_UDSE.EXE to install the Epson USB Display software.
Mac OS X: The USB Display setup folder appears on your screen. Select USB Display Installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epson USB Display software.
Follow any on-screen instructions. You need to install this software only the first time you connect the projector to the computer.
Note: If you are using Windows XP or Windows 2000 and you see a message asking if you want to restart your computer, select No.
The projector displays the image from your computer's desktop and outputs sound, if your presentation contains audio.

not yet turned on (it is in standby mode). Note: With Direct Power On turned on, the projector turns on as soon as you plug it in.
4. Press the power button on the projector or the remote control to turn on the projector. The projector beeps and the power light flashes green as the projector warms up. Once the projector
is warmed up, the power light stops flashing and turns green. Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes and is
especially dangerous for children.
If you do not see a projected image right away, try the following:
• Verify the lens cover is open all the way.
• Turn on the connected computer or video device.

Saving a User's Logo Image to Display
You can transfer an image to the projector and then display it whenever the projector turns on. You can also display the image when the projector is not receiving an input signal or when you temporarily stop projection (using the A/V Mute feature). This transferred image is called the User's Logo screen.
The image you select as the User's Logo can be a photo, graphic, or company logo, which is useful in identifying the projector's owner to help deter theft. You can prevent changes to the User's Logo by setting up password protection for it.
Note: If the projector is in 3D mode, you must change it to 2D mode before you can save a User's Logo. You can change the mode by pressing the 2D/3D button on the remote control or by changing the 3D Display setting in the projector's Signal menu.
