Installing
Projected Image and Position of Projector
Install the projector as follows.
Installing in parallel with the screen
If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image.
Adjust the projector’s position so that it is installed in parallel with the screen.
c
•If the projector cannot be installed in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the image by
using lens shift. sp.28
•Use keystone correction when you cannot make adjustments using lens shift. sp.30
Installing the projector horizontally by adjusting the height of either side
If the projector is tilted, the projected image is also tilted.
Install the projector horizontally so that both sides are at the same height.
If the projector cannot be installed horizontally, you can adjust the projector's tilt with the front foot.

Various Setting Methods
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If
it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening,
or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall
from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the
projector.
•Do not install it on an unstable shelf or in a place out of load range. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing
an accident and injury.
•When installing it in a high position such as on a shelf, take measures against falling by using wires to ensure
the safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it
could fall causing an accident and injury.
•Do not block the air intake vent and air exhaust vent of the projector. Blocking its air intake vent and air
exhaust vent may trap heat inside causing fire.
Attention
•Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke
from fires or tobacco smoke.
•Do not use the projector installed vertically. Doing so could cause a malfunction.
•Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.
sp.102
c
•If the projector cannot be installed in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the image by
using lens shift. sp.28
•Use keystone correction when you cannot make adjustments using lens shift. sp.30
Placing on a table and projecting
You can install the projector on a table in your living room or on a low shelf to project images.

Preparing
15
Suspending from the ceiling and projecting
You can suspend the projector from the ceiling with the optional ceiling mount to project images.
c
•When projecting from a ceiling, change Projection to a ceiling setting. sSettings - Projection p.79
•Set Inverse Audio to On to use the built-in speaker when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.
sSettings - Audio - Inverse Audio p.79
Projection Distance and Lens Shift Maximum Values
The size of the projection increases as the projector is moved away from the screen. Use the table below to
setup the projector at the optimum position from the screen. The values given here are for your reference only.
The maximum lens shift adjustment values are shown in the following table.
When adjusting the projection position vertically in lens shift
A : Distance from the center of the lens to the bottom edge of the projected image (when lens shift is raised
to its highest level)
B : Distance from the center of the lens to the bottom edge of the projected image (when lens shift is lowered
to its lowest level)
E : Projection distance from the projector to the screen
F : Size of the projected image

Preparing

Connecting a Device
Attention
•Make cable connections before connecting to a power outlet.
•When disconnecting, turn off the projector first, then remove the power cord, and then disconnect other
cables.
•Check the shape of the cable's connector and the shape of the port, and then connect. If you force a connector
of a different shape into the port, it could cause damage and a malfunction to occur.
EH-TW6600W comes with an terminal cover allowing you to clearly see the connector section on the rear.
Remove the terminal cover before connecting any cables.
s p.22
Connecting Video Equipment
To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the
following methods.
When using an HDMI cable
When using a video cable
When using a component video cable
c
•The cable differs depending on the output signal from the connected video equipment.
•Some types of video equipment are capable of outputting different types of signals. Check the user's
guide supplied with the video equipment to confirm which signals can be output.
•You can also connect your AV system to enjoy the audio from connected equipment.

Preparing

Connecting a Computer
To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.
When using a computer cable
When using an HDMI cable
Connecting External Devices
Connecting to the Trigger Out port
To connect external devices such as motorized screens, connect a mini-jack stereo cable (3.5 mm) to the
Trigger Out port.
When set to on, a signal (12 V DC) is output from this port to communicate the projector's status (on or off)
to connected devices such as electric screens.
c
When using the Trigger Out port, set the Trigger Out function. s Settings - Operation - Trigger
Out p.79
Connecting to the Audio Out port
To connect external devices such as external speakers, connect a commercially available audio cable.
c
•Do not connect headphones.
•When the projector is in standby status, no audio can be output.
