Projector Placement Options

When projecting from the front, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. The center of the lens should be about level with the bottom of the screen.

note

After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see

page 12.

If you place the projector below screen level, you may need to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. Tilting the projector causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion (see page 44).

You can also install the projector in three other viewing setups: ceiling projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection.

Rear/ceiling projection

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting hardware (see page 12). You’ll also need to select the appropriate Projection setting in the projector’s Extended menu to orient the image correctly (see page 66).
