12 Introduction
Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in this section to choose a location for the projector, connect the
cables, and display an image.
Choosing a Location
You can install the projector for various viewing setups, as shown below.
Center
Side
Ceiling
Setting Up the Projector 13
Ideally, place the projector at a height where
its lens is between the top and bottom of the
screen. That way, you can keep the projector
level and use the vertical lens shift dial to
position the image. This produces the
best-looking picture.
If you place the projector above or below
screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up or down to
aim the image at the screen; this distorts the
shape of the image, but you can correct its
shape using the projector’s Keystone function
(see page 25).
If you place the projector off to the side, aim it straight ahead (rather than at the center of the
screen), then use the horizontal lens shift dial to center the image on the screen. Do not place
the projector too far to the left or right, or your image won’t be rectangular.
Horizontal lens shift dial
Vertical lens shift dial
Caution: Do not try to move the lens by hand, or you may damage the projector. Always use the
lens shift dials to change the lens position.
14 Setting Up the Projector
The maximum size of the image is determined by the distance from the projector’s lens to the
screen. Depending on your display settings and how you use the Zoom ring, the actual size
may be smaller. Use this table as a rough guide for projector placement:

To determine the exact image size when you know the projection distance (or the exact
projection distance when you know the desired image size), you can use the Projection
Distance Calculator. You can download this program from the Epson website at
Also keep these considerations in mind:
■
Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not
set the projector on top of loose materials that could block the vents underneath.
■
Make sure the projector is within 9.8 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension
cord.
Setting Up the Projector 15
Installing the Projector
To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your
screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the table on page 15 as a guide to locating the
projector. Note the following dimensions:
■
Distance from the center of the lens to the mounting bracket holes: 2.32 inches (59 mm),
0.34 inch (8.6 mm) maximum vertical lens shift
■
Distance from the center of the lens to the center of the projector: 4.33 inches (110 mm),
0.30 inch (7.7 mm) maximum horizontal lens shift

Video source to Dynamic for playing video games in the daytime with them open.)
Select the image source you want to adjust, then press the Color Mode button on the remote
control. Choose from these settings:
■
■
■
Dynamic for projecting images with vivid color in
brightly lit rooms.
Living Room for projecting images with vivid color
under ordinary room lighting.
Color

button
Natural for projecting in subdued lighting; increases
contrast and makes flesh tones appear more natural.
■
■
Theatre for projecting in a dark room.
Theatre Black 1 or 2 for projecting in completely dark
rooms. Theatre Black 1 projects in cool, clear tones;
Theatre Black 2 projects in a warmer tone.
■
sRGB for projecting computer images that conform to the sRGB color standard.
When you select the Natural, Theatre, or sRGB Color Mode setting, the built-in Epson
Cinema Filter automatically increases the contrast and naturalizes projected skin tones.
28 Making Basic Adjustments

Adjusting the Picture Quality
Before fine-tuning the image using these adjustments, make sure you have already selected the
best Color Mode for your picture and viewing environment, as described on page 28. Then
use the settings in this section to finish adjusting the picture to your liking.
Most image quality settings are saved independently for each input source (Video, S-Video,
HDMI, Input A, Input B) and color mode. After you finish adjusting the settings for one
input source, switch to the other input sources you’ll be using and make any necessary
adjustments.
Input Brightness Settings
If the signal from connected equipment is weak and images appear dark, you can adjust the
White Level/Black Level or the Brightness/Contrast. You can adjust either one of these
settings (but not both) for each image source and color mode.
Adjust this setting first, then fine-tune the image with the remaining settings.
The Brightness setting controls how much light is produced by the projector, and the
Contrast setting adjusts the difference between the bright and dark areas of the projected
image. The other settings listed on the following page control how the projector interprets the
light and dark areas of the picture.
Making Detailed Adjustments 35
■
Brightness/Contrast
Picture Æ Input Adjustment Æ Brightness/Contrast
Note: If you cannot access the Brightness and Contrast settings, highlight Input Adjustment
and press the
Select button, then choose Brightness/Contrast in the sub-menu.
Adjust the brightness so it’s suitable for your viewing conditions. For example, if you’re
projecting in a brightly lit room or onto an especially large screen, you may need to
increase the brightness. Decrease the brightness for dark rooms or small screens; this also
reduces power consumption and fan noise, and helps to prolong the life of the lamp.
■
White Level/Black Level
Picture Æ Input Adjustment Æ White Level/Black Level
Note: If you cannot access the White Level and Black Level settings, highlight Input
Adjustment and press the
Select button, then choose White Level/Black Level in the
sub-menu.
Adjust the White Level so that details in the brightest parts of the image are not washed
out. Then adjust the Black Level so that shadow-level details are still visible in the darkest
parts of the image.

Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a regular basis is keep the lens
clean. You also need to clean the air filter periodically to prevent overheating.
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never
open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages
in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as
specifically explained in this User’s Guide.
The only parts you should replace are the air filter and the lamp. If another part needs
replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the
surface.
■
■
Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.

Important Safety Information
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
■
■
■
■
■
■
Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your
eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on.
Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical
voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.
Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small
children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
Don’t place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Also, don’t use the projector near
water or sources of heat.
Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you’re not sure of the power available,
consult your dealer or power company.
■
■
Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Don’t insert the plug into an outlet with dust present, and insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
Failure to do so could result in sparks or fire.
■
■
Don’t overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can cause
fire or electric shock.
Don’t block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the
projector from overheating. Don’t operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or in a
closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
■
■
Never push objects through the cabinet slots or spill liquid into the projector.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions: when the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed; if liquid has been
spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water; if it doesn’t operate normally
when you follow the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance,
indicating a need for service; if it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
■
■
Don’t place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or damage
to the plug.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord
for that country.
■
■
Don’t stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
Don’t use the projector outside of the required temperature range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to
35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.
■

Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty
Basic Two-Year Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Warranty
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser of the Epson
product enclosed with this limited warranty statement that the product, if purchased new and operated
in the United States or Canada, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of
two (2) years from the date of original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90 days for
projector lamps). For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If your product requires service, Epson will ask you to bring
the product securely packaged in its original container or equivalent, along with proof of the date of
original purchase, to your Epson Dealer or Epson Customer Care Center as instructed by Epson.
Epson will, at its option, repair or replace the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. When
warranty service involves the exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson
property. The exchanged product or part may be new or previously refurbished to the Epson standard
of quality, and at Epson's option, the replacement may be another model of like kind and quality.
Epson's liability for replacement of the covered product will not exceed the original retail selling price
of the covered product. Exchange or replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty
period of the product covered by this limited warranty. However, each replacement lamp carries the
limited 90-day warranty stated above.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty does not apply to refurbished or reconditioned
products. This warranty covers only normal use of the product. 24-hour-per-day or other high duty
commercial use causes strain and is not considered normal use. This warranty does not cover
consumables (e.g., filters), other than lamps as provided herein. This warranty is not transferable.
Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial
number be removed. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the product fail to be
properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation,
neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper
electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, use in a smoke or
dust-filled environment, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. Postage, insurance, or
shipping costs incurred in presenting your Epson product for carry-in warranty service are your
responsibility. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held
responsible for costs incurred.
THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES.
IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED
TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY
STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM ARE
VOID. IN THE EVENT THE REMEDIES ABOVE FAIL, EPSON'S ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL

INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER RESULTING FROM BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
