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

This chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to

a notebook or desktop computer, and/or to video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, 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

PDF manual and

registration CD-ROM

Projector

sticker

Remote control

2 AA batteries (for remote control)

Power cord

VGA computer cable

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 65 for transportation instructions. If you are moving the projector by hand, consider using an optional carrying case, available as an accessory from Epson (see page 11.)

14 Setting Up the Projector

Additional Components

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

■ To receive a video signal from a computer with a USB port, you’ll

need a USB cable. One may be provided with your computer, or you can purchase one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 11.

■ 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 provided with your video equipment, or you can purchase one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 11.

■ To receive an S-Video signal, you’ll need an S-Video cable. One

may be included with your video equipment, or you can purchase one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 11.

■ To receive an audio signal, you’ll need an RCA-type audio cable

with two male plugs, or a stereo mini-jack audio adapter cable.

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.

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 33).

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 11). You’ll also need to select the appropriate

Projection setting in the projector’s Extended menu to orient the

image correctly (see page 50).

Lamp life will vary depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage.

Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.

You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals for 1 to 30 minutes (see page 51). This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you want to start projecting again, press the P power button.
