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
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.
