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 parallel, use one of the following methods to adjust the
projected image.
•Correct distortion in the image using the horizontal keystone adjuster or H/V-Keystone sp.28
•Adjust the position f the projected image using lens shift sp.27
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 rear feet.

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.
•Failure to install the ceiling mount and projector may cause the projector to fall. Be sure to use the specific
Epson mount that supports this projector, and secure it to all of the projector's ceiling mount fixing points.
Also, make sure you secure the projector and the mount using wire and so on that is strong enough to hold
their weight.
•Do not apply adhesives, oils, lubricants, detergents, solvents, chemicals, and so on to the projector case or
the mount. Otherwise, the projector case may deteriorate or be damaged causing the projector to fall from
the mount.
•Do not set up the projector in locations exposed to humidity or dust, or in locations exposed to oil smoke or
steam such as on a kitchen counter, in the kitchen, or near a humidifier. Doing so could cause fire or electric
shock. In addition, the oil content could cause the projector’s outer case to deteriorate and could cause the
projector to fall off from the ceiling where it is suspended.
Examples of environments that could cause the projector to fall due to case deterioration/damage
•Locations subject to oily smoke, such as factories, restaurant kitchens, or home kitchens
•Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals, such as factories or laboratories
•Locations where oil, detergents, chemicals, and so on could adhere to the projector such as factories, restaurant
kitchens, or home kitchens
•Locations in which aroma oils are often used, such as relaxation rooms
•Locations near devices that produce excessive smoke, airborne oil particles, or foam at events
•Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject to corrosive gas such as
sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the
projector to malfunction.
•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 the projector in a high position such as on a shelf, take measures against falling by using
wires or belts to ensure safety in an emergency such as an earthquake, and to 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.
•Do not use or store the projector in dusty or dirty locations. Doing so could cause the quality of the projected
image to deteriorate, or the air filter to become clogged with dust which can cause malfunctions or a fire to
occur.
Attention
•Do not project under the following conditions. Doing so could cause a malfunction or accident to occur.
•Do not project by standing the projector vertically
•Do not project from above or below
•Do not project by tilting to the left or right
•Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Connecting a Device
Attention
•Make cable connections before connecting to a power outlet.
•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.
Connecting a Streaming Media Player
Connect a streaming media player to the projector’s HDMI port.
Prepare a commercially available streaming media player.

When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB flash drive or digital camera as a
slideshow.
s p.48
When you have finished projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices with a power switch,
make sure you turn them off before disconnecting the USB device.
Attention
•If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB
devices should be connected to the projector directly.
•Connect a digital camera using a USB cable specified for use with the device.
•Use a USB cable less than 3 m in length. If the cable exceeds 3 m, slideshows may not function correctly.
