Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use. Projector Placement Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
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. Projector Setup and Installation Options Projection Distance Parent topic: Setting Up the Projector Related tasks Changing the Projection Mode Using the Menus
Projector Setup and Installation Options
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:

Front Rear Front Ceiling

Rear Ceiling
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen, not at an angle, if possible. If the projector cannot be centered in front of the screen, use lens shift to reposition the image instead of using keystone correction for better image quality. If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the projector’s menu system. Parent topic: Projector Placement Related references Projector Setup Settings – Extended Menu
Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings. Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Maintaining and Transporting the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to maintain your projector and transport it from place to place. Projector Maintenance Transporting the Projector
Projector Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best. You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation. The only parts you should replace are the lamp, air filter, and remote control batteries. If any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
Warning: Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this manual. Refer all other servicing to qualified servicers.

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the projector’s lens periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface. · To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the lens with lens-cleaning paper.
101

• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens. Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the projector lamp may cause a fire. Caution: Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Avoid touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or damage to the lens surface.

  Cleaning the Projector Case
  Before cleaning the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. · To remove dust or dirt, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. · To remove stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with water and mild soap. Do not spray liquid
  directly on the projector. Caution: Do not use wax, alcohol, benzine, paint thinner, or other chemicals to clean the projector case. These can damage the case. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Parent topic: Projector Maintenance
  Cleaning the 3D Glasses
  To remove dust, dirt, smudges, or fingerprints from the glasses, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  102

Note: Unplug any charging cables from the glasses before cleaning them.
Caution: Do not use paper towels or any other abrasive materials to clean the glasses. Parent topic: Projector Maintenance
Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment. If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or lamp. Damage due to the failure to properly maintain the projector or its filter may not be covered by the projector or lamp Limited Warranties. Cleaning the Air Filter Replacing the Air Filter Parent topic: Projector Maintenance Related references Projector Light Status Cleaning the Air Filter You need to clean the projector’s air filter in the following situations: · The filter or vents get dusty.

· Position the projector close enough to the screen, and directly in front of it. · Position the projector so the keystone adjustment angle is not so wide that it distorts the image. · Adjust the Sharpness setting to improve image quality. · If you are projecting from a computer, display a uniformly patterned image on the screen and adjust
the Tracking and Sync settings. · If you are projecting from a computer, use a lower resolution. · Check the resolution of your video source. If you are projecting from a standard definition video
source, your image will not be as clear as an HD (720p/1080i/1080p) video source. Parent topic: Solving Image or Sound Problems Related references Projection Distance Image Quality Settings – Image Menu Related tasks Focusing the Image Using the Focus Ring Cleaning the Lens

Solutions When a 3D Image Does Not Display Correctly
If a 3D image does not display correctly, try the following solutions: · Press the 2D/3D button on the remote control to switch to 3D mode, if necessary. You can also
activate 3D mode by setting the 3D Display setting on the Signal menu to On. · Make sure your video device and media are both 3D-compatible. Refer to the documentation that
came with your video device for more information. · Make sure you are using an HDMI cable that supports 3D signals. · Make sure you selected the correct 3D Format setting on the Signal menu. Normally this should be
set to Auto, but in some cases you may need to select a different setting to match the 3D signal from your video device. · Make sure you are using RF 3D active shutter glasses. You can purchase them from Epson. · Make sure your 3D glasses are turned on and fully charged. If the glasses have entered standby mode, slide the power switch on the glasses to the Off position and then back to the On position. · Make sure your 3D glasses are paired with the projector. · Adjust the 3D Depth setting on the Signal menu. · Make sure you are within the 3D viewing range. · Avoid using the projector near wireless networks, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, or other devices that use the 2.4 GHz frequency band. These devices can interfere with the signal between the projector and the 3D glasses. · If the other solutions do not solve the problem, change the Inverse 3D Glasses setting on the Signal menu. Return the setting to its original value if changing it does not solve the problem as it can adversely affect the 3D image.
