note
You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See
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, as shown.
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. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.
Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other settings.
TBD
33.1 to 39.7 ft 6.6 to 7.9 ft 3.2 to 3.9 ft Distance from screen
Also keep these considerations in mind:
■
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
■
■
Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything that could block the vents under the projector.
Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image
Calgary-Quebec User's Guide.book Page 15 Thursday, January 20, 2005 9:26 AM
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.
note
After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington
MicroSaver
®
anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector’s left side. You can purchase this from Epson;
Projector
Screen
If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become
“keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the
buttons on the projector. See page 22 for detailed information about
correcting the image shape.
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location,
such as a theater or conference room, see page 81.

Projecting the Image
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up as described
on page 35. Then follow the instructions below to start the projector
and display an image.
note
To shut down the projector,
the projector correctly prevents premature lamp failure and possible damage from overheating.
Turning On the Projector
Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other end into an electrical outlet.

5. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 52.
warning
Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.
Selecting the Image Source
Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from different pieces of connected equipment (such as a computer or DVD player).
If you don’t see the image you want, press the
Source Search
button on the projector or the
Search
button on the remote control until you see the image you want to project.
You can also use the
Source
buttons on the remote control to switch between devices connected to the ports identified on each button. The

Projector Installation
T his appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room.
The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:
A
Front projection Rear projection
Ceiling mounting Rear/ceiling projection
To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting
hardware; see page 11 for ordering information. You’ll also need to
select
Front/Ceiling
or
Rear/Ceiling
as the Projection option of the projector’s Extended menu to flip the image upside-down. To project from the rear, onto a semi-transparent screen, select
Rear or
Rear/Ceiling
81
Calgary-Quebec User's Guide.book Page 82 Thursday, January 20, 2005 9:26 AM
If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above screen level, you’ll have to tilt the projector down to position the image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape.
You can correct the distortion using the
Keystone
function in the
projector’s menu system (see page 51).
If you place the projector so that the base of the lens is level with the bottom of the screen, the image should be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the bottom of the screen, you’ll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.

Warranty
Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty
Basic Two-Year Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Warranty
What Is Covered:
Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser of the Epson product enclosed with this limited warranty statement that the product, if purchased new and operated in the United
States or Canada, conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications and will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90 days for projector lamps). For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems:
If you elect carry-in warranty service, please bring the product securely packaged in its original container or an equivalent, along with proof of the date of original purchase, to your
Epson Dealer or Epson Customer Care Center. Epson will, at its option, repair or replace on an exchange basis the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. When warranty service involves the exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The exchanged product or part may be new or previously refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and at Epson’s option, the replacement may be another model of like kind and quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered product will not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product. Exchange or replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty period of the product covered by this limited warranty. However, each replacement lamp carries the limited 90-day warranty stated above.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover:
This warranty does not apply to refurbished or reconditioned products. This warranty covers only normal consumer use in the United States and Canada. 24-hour-per-day use causes unusual strain and is not considered normal use. This warranty does not cover consumables (e.g., fuses), other than lamps. This warranty is not transferable. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in presenting your Epson product for carry-in warranty service are your responsibility. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred.
