Setting Up the Projector13
Ideally, keep the projector level and place it at a height so its lens is centered between the top 
and bottom of the screen, as shown below. If this is not possible, use the lens shift dials to 
reposition the image. As a rule of thumb, you can use lens shift to move the image up or down 
by nearly its full height, and left or right by about one-half its width (for details, see page 25).
If you place the projector off to the side, aim it straight ahead (rather than at the...

The size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen. 
Depending on your display settings and how you use the Zoom ring, the actual size may 
differ. Use these tables as a guide for projector placement:

To determine the exact image size when you know the projection distance (or the exact 
projection distance when you know the desired image size), you can use the Image Size 
Calculator. This program is available on the Epson website at epson.com/support (U.S.) or 
epson.ca/support (Canada).
Also keep these considerations in mind:
■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not 
set the projector on top of loose materials that could...

Installing the Projector
To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your 
screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 14 as a guide to positioning the 
projector. 
To suspend the projector from a ceiling, you will need the optional projector mount designed 
for the projector. See page 10 for ordering information. Follow the instructions included with 
the mount to install the projector.

For best results, connect your video equipment to the HDMI port, if possible. If your 
equipment doesn’t support HDMI, connect it to one of the following ports (highest quality 
listed first): 
Component (for component video), S-Video, or Video (for composite video). 
When you connect a large or heavy cable to the projector, 
such as an HDMI cable, it is recommended that you fasten 
it to one of the two cable holders using a commercially 
available cable tie.

Making Other Connections
Connect the power cable and other cables described below, depending on how you plan to 
use the projector.
■Plug the power cable into the projector and a grounded electrical outlet. 
■The Trigger out port outputs a 12-volt DC signal 
when the projector is turned on. This lets a central 
control system monitor whether the projector is on 
or off, and can be used to raise or lower your 
projection screen automatically when the projector 
is in use. On the...
