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 three devices simultaneously: three video sources or one computer and two video sources.

Youll find instructions for the following in this chapter:

Positioning the projector

Connecting to a computer

Connecting to video sources

16 Setting Up the Projector

Positioning the Projector Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to place it. If youre setting up the projector yourself and it isnt already installed in the room youre using, youll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen, as shown.

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.

Place the projector somewhere between 3 and 35 feet from the screen. Use the figure below to help you determine exactly how far. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how youve adjusted the optical zoom and other settings.

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. Do not set the projector on top of loose papers that could block the vents under the projector.

Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (2 m) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

29.5 to 35.4 feet 5.8 to 7 feet 2.8 to 3.4 feet

note You can download the Projection Distance Calculator program from the Drivers and Downloads section of Epsons web site: http://support.epson.com.

Setting Up the Projector 17

Try to place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. If the projector isnt positioned this way, the image will be keystone shaped, instead of square or rectangular.

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, youll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot, as described on page 38. This also causes the image to be keystone shaped, instead of square or rectangular. To adjust the keystone correction value, see page 38.

Other Installations

You can also project from behind the screen or from the ceiling, with the projector mounted upside-down:

To project from overhead, youll need the optional ceiling mount hardware. (See page 13 for ordering information.) Youll 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 60 for more information.

Although images are displayed at the projectors native resolution of 1024 768 pixels, Epsons patented SizeWise chip supports computer display formats ranging from VGA through UXGA.

To project images output from a computer, the computers external monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) thats compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible formats. For best results, the computers resolution should be set to match the projectors native resolution (1024 768). If this resolution isnt available, select one of the other compatible formats:

Windows: Right-click the desktop, select Properties, click the Settings tab, and select a compatible resolution. (For a notebook displaying through an external monitor port, youll need to click the Advanced button on the Settings tab, then adjust the resolution of the external monitor.)

Macintosh OS X: From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click Displays. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD dialog box is selected, then click the Display tab and select a compatible resolution.

Macintosh OS 9.x: On the Apple menu, choose Control Panels, then click Monitors or Monitors and Sound. Click the Monitor tab and select a compatible resolution for your external monitor.

You may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them for a different resolution. See your software documentation for details.
