Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude
Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
Connecting to Computer Sources
Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector
through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a
USB cable.
Note: An HDMI connection is recommended for projecting content requiring high bandwidth.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.
3. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.
4. Do one of the following:

contains audio.
Connecting to a Computer for VGA Video
You can connect the projector to your computer using a VGA computer cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for
video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's VGA video
port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.
1. If necessary, disconnect your computer's monitor cable.
2. Connect the VGA computer cable to your computer's monitor port.
3. Connect the other end to a Computer port on the projector.
4. Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio
If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for
video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port.
Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
(Make sure the HDMI audio playback device on your computer's audio settings is set to EPSON PJ.)
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, connect one end of an
optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio cable to the projector's Audio port and the other end to your
computer's audio out port. Then select the audio port you connected to as the HDMI Audio Output
setting in the Extended menu.
Connecting to a Computer for USB Mouse Control
If you connected your computer to a Computer, USB-B, or HDMI port on the projector, you can set up
the remote control to act as a wireless mouse. This lets you control projection at a distance from your

2. Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your video source into a mono analog
signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, you can use the Audio port
instead to play sound. Connect one end of an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio cable to the
projector's Audio port and the other end to your computer's audio out port. Then select Audio as the
HDMI Audio Output setting in the Extended menu.
Connecting to an MHL-Compatible Device
If you have an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet, you can connect it to the projector using either
an MHL cable or an HDMI cable with a device-compatible MHL adapter. If you have a device with a
