Important Safety Information

WARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes.

Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and

filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically

explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.

WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small

children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by

the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

Setting Up the Projector

This chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to

a notebook or desktop computer or to video devices, such as a DVD

player, VCR, or video camera.

Follow the instructions in this chapter on:

■Unpacking the projector

■Positioning the projector

■Connecting to a computer

■Connecting to video equipment

■Connecting an external monitor

■Playing sound through the projector

■Turning the projector on and off

20 Setting 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 transportation

instructions. If you are moving the projector by hand, use the carrying

case.

Setting Up the Projector 21

Additional Components

Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need

additional components:

■To receive a component video signal from a DVD player or other

video device, you’ll need a component-to-VGA video cable. One

may be included with your video equipment, or you can purchase

the ELPKC19 cable from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on

page 16.

■To receive an S-video signal, you’ll need an S-video cable. One

may be included with your video equipment.

■To receive an audio signal, you’ll need a stereo mini-jack to

RCA-type audio adapter cable (with red and white jacks on one

end).

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.

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.

22 Setting Up the Projector

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.

(Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)

You can also use the Image Size Calculator on the Epson website.

24 Setting Up the Projector

Projector Placement Options

When projecting from the front, you should 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. Tilting the projector causes the

image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can correct the

distortion (see page 44).

Using the Projector Security Features

To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can:

■Assign a password. You can use the password to prevent the

projector from being turned on and prevent your custom startup

screen from being changed. See the next section.

■Create a custom screen that is displayed at startup and/or when

the A/V Mute button is pressed. The screen can be locked with a

password to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the

projector should it be stolen. See page 66.

■Disable the projector’s buttons; this is useful, for example, in a

classroom when you want to ensure that no one touches the

projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote control. See

page 68.

■Secure the projector to prevent theft using a cable locking system.

See page 69.
