1 15 1 Setting Up the Projector This chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to a notebook or desktop computer, to video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, or video camera, and/or to your local area network. You can also connect the projector to a USB storage device or digital camera, or use it with an SD card (G5150NL and G5350NL only).

16Setting 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. If you are moving the projector by hand, use the projector handle. See page 131 for transportation instructions. 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.

Setting Up the Projector17 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 VCR or other video device, you’ll need a component video cable. One may be provided with your video equipment. ■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 included with your video equipment. ■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 12. ■To receive a signal from your computer’s USB port, you’ll need a USB cable. You can purchase one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 12. 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 on page 18 to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other settings. note You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 149 for details.
18Setting Up the ProjectorPowerLite Pro G5150NL/G5350NL (4:3 image) PowerLite Pro G5200WNL (16:10 image) Also keep these considerations in mind: ■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 10 feet (3 meters) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord. 2.7 to 4.7 ft (0.8 to 1.4 m) 5.2 to 9.4 ft (1.6 to 2.9 m) 26.5 to 47.8 ft (8.1 to 14.6 m)Distance from screen TBD 2.7 to 4.9 ft (0.8 to 1.5 m) 5.5 to 9.9 ft (1.7 to 3.0 m) 27.9 to 50.3 ft (8.5 to 15.3 m)Distance from screen TBD
Setting Up the Projector19 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. If you place the projector below screen level, you can use the vertical lens shift dial to raise the lens (see page 46). 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 47). For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room, see page 149. Connecting to a Computer You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC notebook computers, MacBook, PowerBook, and iBook computers, and hand-held devices. You can also connect a Windows ® computer to the Type B USB port on the projector (see page 21). This allows you to connect an additional computer to the projector. If you have the optional wireless mouse receiver, you can use your remote control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer (page 56). 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 12. Screen Projector
20Setting 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 or Computer 2 port, and the other end to your computer’s monitor port. 2. You may need to change the Input Signal setting in the projector’s Signal menu to RGB(see page 99). 3. You can connect an optional stereo mini-jack audio cable to play sound through the projector (see page 32). With the optional wireless mouse receiver (see page 56), you can use the remote control as a mouse. 4. When you’ve finished making any connections, see page 37 for instructions on turning on the projector and Chapter 2 for instructions on displaying and adjusting the image. 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.
