Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need to obtain the following additional
components:
• To receive a component video signal, you need a compatible component cable. You can purchase
one from Epson or an authorized Epson reseller.
• To receive an HDMI signal, you need a compatible HDMI cable. You can purchase one from Epson or
an authorized Epson reseller.
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.
• To receive an HDMI signal via MHL, you need an MHL-compatible device, an MHL cable or an HDMI
cable and an MHL adapter compatible with your device. Devices with an integrated MHL connector
may not require a cable (PowerLite Home Cinema 5030UBe).
• To receive and view a 3D signal, you need a compatible HDMI cable. You can purchase one from
Epson or an authorized Epson reseller. If your video source is a 3D Blu-ray disc, you also need a Blu-
ray player that supports 3D playback. See your local computer or electronics dealer for purchase
information.

Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
