11
Unpacking the Projector
After unpacking the projector, make sure you have all these parts:
Projector and lens cap
PDF manuals and registration CD-ROM
Lens theft deterrent screw
Remote control and
2 AA batteries
Password Protected sticker
Power cord
Interface label stickers
VGA computer cable note
If you mount the projector on the ceiling, the interface and button names on the projector will appear upside down. Attach the interface label stickers so that you can more easily read the names.
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. If you are moving the projector by
hand, use the projector handle. See page 83 for transportation
instructions.
Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need additional components:
■ To receive a component video signal from your video device, you’ll need a component video cable. One may be provided with your video equipment.
12 Setting Up the Projector
■ To receive an RGB or component video signal from a video device that has RGB or component (PrPbY or CrCbY) connectors, you’ll need a BNC-type video cable. One may be provided with your video equipment.
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. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.
Use the illustrations and tables below to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on whether you’ve adjusted the image with vertical lens shift, zoom, or any other settings.
You can also use the Image Size Calculator on the Epson website.
note
You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See

Setting Up the Projector 15
note
After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington
MicroSaver ® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase
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 about level with the bottom of the screen.
Projector
Screen
If you place the projector below screen level, you can use the vertical
lens shift dial to raise the lens (see page 29). You can also tilt the
projector 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 30).
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location,
such as a theater or conference room, see page 101.
note
To connect a Macintosh that includes only a Mini
DisplayPort or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's VGA video port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and
Macintosh computers, and hand-held devices.
If you have the optional wireless mouse receiver, you can use your remote control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer
16 Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to the Computer Port
You can connect to the projector using the VGA computer cable that came with it (the monitor port on your computer must be a mini
D-sub 15-pin port).
1. If you’re using the VGA computer cable, connect one end to the projector’s Computer1 port, and the other end to your computer’s monitor port.
caution
Don’t try to force a connector to fit a port with a different shape or number of pins. You may damage the port or connector.
2. You may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector’s Signal menu to RGB
3. With the optional wireless mouse receiver (see page 39), you can
use the remote control as a mouse.
4. When you’ve finished making any connections, see page 23 for
instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.
Setting Up the Projector 17
Connecting to the BNC Connectors
1. Obtain a commercially available standard BNC to VGA video cable.
2. Plug the BNC connectors into the projector’s B/Cb/Pb , G/Y , and
R/Cr/Pr connectors as shown below. Depending on your computer’s video card, you may have to connect to the projector’s
V Sync and H/C Sync connectors too. (See your computer documentation for more information.)
18 Setting Up the Projector
3. Plug the VGA connector on the other end of the cable into your computer’s monitor port.
4. You may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector’s Signal menu to RGB
5. With the optional wireless mouse receiver (see page 39), you can
use the remote control as a mouse.
6. When you’ve finished making any connections, see page 23 for
instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.

Connecting to Video Equipment
You can connect several video sources to the projector at the same time. Before starting, look at your video equipment to determine its available video output connections:
If your video player has a component video port (three connectors
labeled either Y/Cb/Cr or Y/Pb/Pr), see “Connecting a
Component Video Source” on page 21.
If you’re using a coax video cable, see “Connecting a Composite
BNC connector
(component or composite video)
■ If your video player has an RGB video port (either a single connector for a VGA monitor cable or three connectors labeled
R/G/B), see “Connecting an RGB Video Source” on page 22.

Setting Up the Projector 19
note
If the video cable was not provided with your video device, you can purchase one from an electronics dealer.
Connecting a Composite Video Source
1. If your cable has a bayonet connector (BNC), connect it to the
Video1 connector on the projector.
2. When you’ve finished making any connections, see page 23 for
instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.
20 Setting Up the Projector
Connecting a Component Video Source
1. Look at the connectors at one end of your component video cable.
If they are bayonet (BNC) connectors, go on to step 2. If they are
RCA connectors, you’ll need to attach commercially available
BNC adapters to plug the cable into your projector, then
2. Connect the cable to your player and the BNC connectors on the projector. Match the Y/Cb/Cr (or Y/Pb/Pr) connectors on your player to the corresponding connectors on the projector.
note
If the component video cable was not provided with your video device, you can purchase one from an electronics dealer.
note

Important Safety Instructions
■
■
■
■
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
■
■
■
■
Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children and pets.
Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
Do not operate the projector on its side, or while tilted to one side.
Do not tilt the projector forward or back at a greater angle than that
specified for vertical keystone correction (see page 106).
If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector. If the projector is not installed correctly, the projector may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector.
If you use a ceiling mount and apply adhesives to the mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack and the projector may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting a ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.
Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine.

Do not use sprays containing flammable gas to clean the lens or filter.
Do not spray a liquid of any kind directly on the projector or its lens. Do not use the projector where there may be flammable, explosive, or corrosive gases present in the atmosphere.
Do not place containers of liquid on top of the projector. Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to smoke, steam, or excessive dust.
Never insert or drop objects of any kind through the projector’s vents or openings. Do not leave metal, flammable, or foreign objects nearby.
Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle.
Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface. If you are setting up the projector near a wall, leave at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the wall and the air exhaust vent.
Do not operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
If you are using two or more projectors side-by-side, leave at least 2 feet
(60 cm) of space between the projectors to allow for proper ventilation.
You may need to clean the air filter and vent. A clogged air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector.
Do not store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.
Do not use the projector outside the required temperature range (see
page 108). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to
projector damage.
Do not store the projector outside the required temperature range (see
page 108) or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may
cause damage to the case.
Do not touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock.
Unplug the projector when it will not be used for extended periods.
Place the projector near an outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the projector for a long period of time.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or exhibits a

■ distinct change in performance; if smoke, strange odors, or strange noises come from the projector; if the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed; if liquid or foreign objects get inside the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water; if it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards.
Never open any covers on the projector except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the projector (including consumables). Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel.
Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a different power source may result in fire or electric shock. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.
If you use the projector in the country where it was purchased, only use the power cable that came with the projector. If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that country.
Take the following precautions when handling the plug: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Do not hold the plug with wet hands. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting it. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the exhaust vents. Do not bring your hands or face close to the vents while projection is in progress.
Before you move the projector, make sure its power is turned off, the plug is disconnected from the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.
Do not project images while the detachable lens cover is still attached.
Heat may cause the lens cover to melt, and if you touch the lens cover you could get burned.
Do not block the light coming from the projector with any object. The object may be damaged or the reflected light may heat the lens and damage the projector.
Do not touch the lens with bare hands.
Always attach the lens cover to the lens when not using the projector, to prevent the lens from becoming dirty or damaged.
