from Epson. See page 13.
■To receive a component video signal from a VCR or other video 
device, you need a D-sub, 15-pin, component-to-VGA video 
cable, which is available for purchase from Epson. See page 13.
■Some older PowerBooks and Macintosh desktop models may 
need a Macintosh video adapter; see your computer dealer. Older 
iMac systems may need a special VGA adapter, and newer iMac, 
MacBook, and PowerBook systems may need a mini 
DVI-to-VGA adapter; see your computer dealer.
■To receive an audio signal, you need a commercially available 
audio cable; see your computer or electronics dealer.

Setting Up the Projector
This chapter tells you how to set up the projector and connect it to a 
computer or video source. You can connect up to four devices 
simultaneously: four video sources, or two computer and two video 
sources. 
You’ll find instructions for the following in this chapter:
■Positioning the projector
■Connecting to a computer
■Connecting to video sources 
						

							16Setting Up the Projector
Positioning the Projector
Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to place it. 
If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you 
can place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the 
front of the room, face the audience, and control the projector.
Ideally, you should place the projector between 26 to 48 inches (66 to 
122 cm) from the screen. Use the illustrations and tables below to 
help you determine approximately how far to place it based on the 
screen size you’re using and the aspect ratio of the image. Image size 
can vary depending on how you adjust the zoom and other settings.
note
You can download the 
Projection Distance 
Calculator program from 
the Drivers & Downloads 
section of Epson’s website:

							18Setting Up the ProjectorAlso keep these considerations in mind: 
■If you’re projecting from a table or other flat surface, make sure 
the surface is sturdy and level.
■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and 
under the projector. Do not set the projector next to loose papers 
that could block the vents on the sides of the projector. 
■Make sure the projector is within 14.8 feet (4.5 m) of a grounded 
electrical outlet or extension cord. 
■Place the projector in front of the center of the screen, facing it 
squarely. If the projector isn’t positioned this way, the image will 
be “keystone” shaped (  or  ) instead of rectangular.
If you’re projecting from a table or other flat surface, you may need to 
tilt the projector up by extending the front adjustable foot, as 
described on page 41. This causes the image to lose its rectangular 
shape. You can adjust the shape using the buttons on the projector 
(see page 42), or using the projector’s menu system (see page 53).
Whiteboard Installation
You can project onto a whiteboard (or IWB, interactive whiteboard) 
by mounting the projector to the wall or directly onto a compatibly 
equipped whiteboard. 
						

							Setting Up the Projector19
To mount the projector on the wall or attach it to a whiteboard, you’ll 
need an optional short-throw wall mounting system. (See page 13 for 
ordering information.) You’ll also need to select 
Front/Ceiling for the 
Projection option in the Extended menu. See page 62 for details.
Other Installations
You can also project from behind the screen or from the ceiling, with 
the projector mounted upside-down: 
To project from the ceiling, you’ll need the optional ceiling mount. 
(See page 13 for ordering information.) You’ll also need to select 
Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling for the Projection option in the 
Extended menu. To project from the rear, select 
Rear. See page 62 for 
details.

							20Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard 
VGA or BNC monitor port, including PC notebook and laptop 
computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and iBooks, and hand-held 
devices. 
Follow the instructions in this section to:
■Connect the projector to your computer with the VGA cable 
included with the projector.
■Connect the projector to your computer with a commercially 
available VGA–5BNC cable.
After connecting the projector to your computer, you may also 
want to:
■Connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your 
presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re 
using a laptop); see page 23.
■Connect the projector to your computer with a commercially 
available audio cable to play computer audio; see page 24.
Connecting with the VGA Cable
Follow these instructions to connect to your computer with the VGA 
cable that came with your projector. Before you start, make sure your 
computer and the projector are turned off.
1. If you are connecting the projector to a desktop computer, 
disconnect the monitor cable from your computer.
2. Locate the VGA computer cable that came 
with the projector.
note
If you have an iBook with 
an RCA video-out port, 
follow the instructions for 
connecting to a video device 
on page 27.
