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.
s p.29
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.
•Failure to install the ceiling mount and projector may cause the projector to fall. After installing the specific
Epson mount that supports this projector, make sure you secure the projector and the mount using wire that
is strong enough to hold their weight.
•Do not apply 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.
Attention
•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.

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.
Suspending from the ceiling and projecting
You can suspend the projector from the ceiling with the optional ceiling mount to project images.
c
•When suspending from the ceiling and projecting, set Projection to Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling.
sExtended - Projection p.65
•Set Inverse Audio to On to use the built-in speaker when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

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.
c
The projected image becomes smaller after correcting distortion. Increase the projection distance
to fit the projected image to the screen size.
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
When adjusting the projection position horizontally in lens shift
C : Lens center movement distance when the projector is moved (when lens shift is set to maximum left)
