Setting Up the Projector 17
Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need
additional components:
■ To receive an HDMI signal from your video device, you’ll need
an HDMI cable. One may be provided with your video
equipment.
■ To receive a component video signal from a VCR or other video
device, you’ll need a component video cable. One may be
provided with your video equipment.
■ To receive an RGB or component video signal from a video
device that has RGB or component (PrPbY or CrCbY)
connectors, you’ll need a BNC-type video cable. One may be
included with your video equipment.
■ To receive an S-video signal, you’ll need an S-video cable. One
may be included with your video equipment, or you can purchase
one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 12.
■ To receive a signal from your computer’s USB port, you’ll need a
USB cable. You can purchase one from Epson. See “Optional
Accessories” on page 12.
Positioning the Projector
If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll
probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets
you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain
close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as
much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a
good-size image.
Use the illustrations on page 18 to help you determine placement.
Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how
you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image
with other settings.
note
You can mount the projector
on the ceiling, or place it
behind a translucent screen
for rear projection. See
page 149 for details.
