When the projector is further away from the screen, the projection image size are larger.
While referring to the table below, position the projector so that the images are projected onto the 
screen at the optimum size.
The values should be used as a guide for setting up the projector.
When the projector is suspended from the ceiling
When the height of the projector does not match with that of the screen
When the projector is set up to the side so that the screen can be viewed sitting right in front of it
When positioning an image using the lens shift dial, hardly any deterioration of the image occurs because the lens 
shift correction is adjusted optically. However, for optimal image quality the lens shift function should not be used. The lens shift can be used to position the image and the feature is espe\
cially useful under the following conditions.                    
       p.16
Set up so that the projector is parallel to 
the screen. If the projector is set up at 
an angle to the screen, distortion of the 
images will occur.

Projection methods
TIP
You can rotate the EPSON logo plate around 180 degrees when suspending 
the projector from a ceiling.
When one end of the plate is pressed, the 
opposite end lifts up, so you can pull it out 
slightly, turn it around and then push it back in.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, this projector should be installed by 
qualified technicians using only approved mounting equipment. If installation work 
is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or 
accidents. Contact your dealer to carry out the installation work.
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 
housing 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.
When projecting from directly in front When projecting from the side of 
the screen
Do not use the projector in places where there is a lot of humidity or dust, near cooking 
or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam. 
Do not use or store this projector outdoors for an extended length of time. Fire or electric 
shock may result.
Clean the air filter at least once every 3 months.
Clean the air filter more frequently if using the projector in a dusty environment.
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur. 
						

							12
Connecting Image Sources
•Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them. 
If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
•Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the 
connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or 
number of terminals, a malfunction or damage to the connector or port may result.
The cables used will vary depending on the output signals of the video equipment which
is being connected.
Some video equipment can output several different types of signal.
Refer to the documentation provided with the video equipment for details on what types
of signal the video equipment can output.
ñçUse a HDMI cable that conforms to the HDMI specifications.
*Port names may vary depending on the equipment being connected.

Installing the Projector
Preparing the Remote Control
Inserting batteries into the remote control
Using the remote control
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate
after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are
becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA
size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for
the AA size manganese or alkaline.
At the time of purchase, the batteries are not 
inserted into the remote control. Insert the supplied 
batteries before using the remote control. 
Insert the batteries in the correct direction. 
Close the cover.Check the (+) and (-) indications inside 
the battery compartment and insert the 
batteries so that they face correctly.
Lift up the battery cover while pressing its 
tab.

Starting and Stopping Projection
Turning the power on and projecting images
TIP
If you set the Direct Power On to On, the power of the unit will turn on when 
the main power switch is turned on, without having to press the power button of 
the remote control or the projectors control panel.      p.33 If there is a problem with projection even though the projector is set up and connected correctly,

The projector is equipped with the Child Lock function that prevents young 
children from accidentally turning the power on and looking into the lens, and also 
the Control Panel Lock function that prevents mis-operations is available.      p.33
When using the projector at an altitude of about 1500m or above, make sure you 
set the High Altitude Mode to On.       p.34
This projector is equipped with an automatic 
adjustment function that automatically optimizes it 
when a computer input signal is switched.
If a laptop computer or a computer with a LCD 
screen has been connected to the projector, you 
may need to use keyboard or function settings to 
change the output destination. While holding down 
the        key, press        (the key with a symbol such 
as       /       on it). After the selection is made, 
projection will soon start.
