Introduction
This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Project Realistic 3D Images
Project stunning 3D content from media such as
3D Blu-ray discs or 3D games. You need the
optional active 3D Glasses (ELPGS03) to view
3D images.
s"Projecting 3D Images" p.48
Quick and Easy Set up, Projection, and Storage
•Turn the projector on and off by simply plugging in or unplugging.
•Project onto large screens from a short distance.
•Make easy height adjustments with one lever.
•No cool down delay makes it easy to put away.

By simply connecting a USB cable, you can
project images from a computer's screen
without a computer cable.
s"Projecting with USB Display" p.30
Detecting projector movements and automatically correcting
image distortion
This projector automatically corrects vertical and horizontal keystone
distortion which occurs when positioning or moving the projector.
For EH-TW550/EH-TW510, only vertical keystone distortion is corrected.
s"Correcting automatically" p.34
Horizontal keystone adjuster (EH-TW550/EH-TW510 only)

Replacing the remote control batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not
operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the
batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new
batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You
cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.
Attention
Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries.
sSafety Instructions

Preparing the Projector
This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installation Methods
The projector supports the following four different projection methods.
Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.
•Project images from in front of
the screen. (Front projection)
•Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear projec-
tion)
•Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil-
ing projection)
•Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
behind a translucent screen.
(Rear/Ceiling projection)
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 on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the 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 ceiling mount
and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to
prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so
on.
•Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
