Setting Up the Projector
This chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to 
video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, or video camera, 
and/or to a notebook or desktop computer.
You can also connect the projector to a USB storage device or digital 
camera, or project from an inserted SD card.
Follow the instructions in this chapter on:
■Unpacking the projector
■Positioning the projector
■Connecting to a computer
■Connecting to video equipment
■Playing sound through the projector
■Connecting to a digital camera or other USB device
■Inserting an SD card
■Turning the projector on and off 
						

							18Setting Up the Projector
Unpacking the Projector
After unpacking the projector, make sure you have all these parts: 
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 79 for instructions. 
Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need 
additional components:
■To receive an HDMI signal from your video device, you’ll need 
an HDMI cable. One may be provided with your video 
equipment.
■To receive a component video signal from a DVD player or other 
video device, you’ll need a component video cable (one may be 
provided with your video equipment) and the 
component-to-VGA video adapter that came with the projector.
■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 15.
■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 
(not necessary with HDMI connection).

Positioning the Projector
You can place the projector in a variety of viewing setups.
When projecting from the front, place the projector directly in front 
of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. The center of 
the lens should be about level with the bottom of the screen.
If you place the projector below screen level, you may need to tilt it up 
by extending the front adjustable foot (see page 41). Tilting the 
projector causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can 
correct the distortion (see page 41).
You can also install the projector on the ceiling using the optional 
ceiling mounting hardware (see page 15). Use the projector 
dimensions on page 14 to assist you in installing the projector.
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 
this from Epson; see 
page 15. 
						

							20Setting Up the ProjectorYou can also install the projector in two other viewing setups: rear 
projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection. 
If you project from overhead or the rear of the screen, you’ll need to 
select the appropriate 
Projection setting in the projector’s Extended 
menu to orient the image correctly (see page 62).
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.
Determining Projection Distance
Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on the 
aspect ratio (image shape), how you zoom into the image, and 
whether you’ve adjusted other image settings. Use the illustrations and 
tables below to help you determine the projection distance.
