Choosing a Location
You can use your Epson MovieMate just about anywhere—in the living room,
bedroom, or even outside. You can use it with an optional floor-, wall-, or ceiling-
mounted screen, or simply project on a flat white wall.
The following pictures show four different setups:
■To project onto a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth surface. When
you find a suitable wall for projection, you may want to consider coating the
area with projection paint to enhance the image quality. For details, see the
User’s Guide on the Epson MovieMate CD.

■MovieMate doesn’t have to be directly in
front of the screen or wall, but it has to face
straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the
surface).
■If the image is too low, too high, or off to
the side, you can use the quick image
adjustment dials to adjust the position (see
page 10 for instructions).
■The farther you place MovieMate from the
screen or wall, the larger the image will be.
If you want an 80-inch diagonal widescreen image, place MovieMate about
6.4 feet away from the wall or screen. The following diagram shows the
approximate image size (measured diagonally) at various distances.
Caution:
MovieMate should not be exposed to water, smoke, moisture, dust, direct heat or
sunlight, or left outside for long periods of time. These environmental factors may
cause damage to internal electronics over time. See the warranty on page 19 for
additional details.

Adjusting the Picture
Once you see your picture, you may need to make some adjustments.
■If the image is too low, too high, or off to the side, use the quick image
adjustment dials to adjust its position.
Note:
The image adjustment feature cannot move the image both horizontally and
vertically by the full amount. For example, if you have moved the image all the way
up, then you cannot shift it all the way to the right or left at the same time.
■Rotate the zoom ring to reduce or enlarge the picture. For more ways to adjust
the size, see page 12.
