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 an HDMI connector, see “Connecting an 
HDMI Video Source” on page 24.
■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 25.
■If your video player has a yellow RCA video output connector, see 
“Connecting a Composite Video Source” on page 26.
■If your video player has an S-Video connector, see “Connecting 
an S-Video Source” on page 27.
■If your video player has an RGB video port, see “Connecting an 
RGB Video Source” on page 28.
After connecting video cables, you may also want to connect an 
optional audio cable to play sound through the projector; see page 32. 
If you connect using an HDMI cable, the video and sound are both 
transferred and you won’t need to connect any additional cables for 
audio.

Connecting an HDMI Video Source
For the best image and sound quality, connect your video equipment 
to the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, if 
possible.
Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI connector on your player and 
the 
HDMI port on the projector.
When you’ve finished making connections, see page 35 for 
instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for 
instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.
note
If an HDMI cable was not 
provided with your video 
device, you can purchase one 
from an electronics dealer.

Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to a Windows computer using the 
projector’s 
TypeB USB port. This lets you carry a lightweight cable 
with you when you transport the projector.
You can also connect the projector to any computer that has a 
standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, 
PC notebook computers, Macintosh PowerBook
® and iBook® 
computers, and hand-held devices. See page 31 for instructions on 
connecting using a VGA computer cable.
To play sound through the projector, connect an audio cable (see 
page 32).
You may be able to use your remote control as a wireless mouse when 
projecting from a computer (see page 48).
Connecting to the USB Port
You can connect a Windows Vista®, XP, or Windows 2000 (SP4) 
computer to the projector’s 
TypeB (square)  USB port and 
project your computer’s display. A USB 2.0 connection 
(recommended) provides better picture quality and response than 
USB 1.1.
The first time you connect a computer to the projector’s USB port, 
software from the projector is installed on your computer. 
1. Follow the instructions beginning on page 35 to turn on the 
projector.
2. Make sure the 
USB Type B setting on the Extended menu is set 
to 
USB Display (see page 62).
3. Turn on your computer. 
						

							30Setting Up the Projector4. Connect the square end of a USB cable to the projector’s 
TypeB 
(square) USB port.
5. Connect the flat end of the cable to any available USB port on 
your notebook or desktop computer.
Messages appear on your computer screen as the projector is 
recognized and the software is installed automatically.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the Epson USB 
Display software. If you see a “Digital Signature Warning,” select 
Continue or Continue Anyway. (You will see these instructions 
only the first time you connect.)
After the software is installed, you see your computer’s current 
desktop displayed by the projector. You can switch the projector 
to other image sources using the 
Source Search or Search 
button on the remote control or the projector.
7. You can connect an optional audio cable if you want to play 
sound through the projector (see page 32). 
When you’ve finished making connections, see Chapter 2 for 
instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.
When you’re done projecting from your computer, disconnect the 
USB cable.
