Projector Placement 15
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector on a mount if you want to use it in a fixed
location. An optional or supplied mount plate is required when installing the
projector on a commercially available tripod or on VESA compliant mounting
hardware.
The projector can be installed at various angles. There is no vertical or
horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.
Note the following points when selecting 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.
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle.
aIf you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct
any resulting keystone distortion using the projector controls. For the
best quality images, we recommend adjusting the installation position
of the projector to achieve the correct image size and shape.
Projector Placement 16
Warning
• You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling.
If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or
injury.
• Do not use adhesives on the mount plate fixing points to prevent the screws
from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the
projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could
cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the
projector.
• Failure to install the mount plate, AC adapter holder, mounting hardware, and
projector may cause the projector to fall. After installing the projector onto
VESA compliant (75 × 75mm) mounting hardware using the optional or
supplied mount plate (ELPMB65), make sure you secure the mounting hardware
to all of the projector's mount plate fixing points. Also, secure the projector and
the mounting hardware using wire that is strong enough to hold their weight.
• Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or
humidity, or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a
fire or electric shock to occur. The projector's case could also deteriorate and be
damaged causing the projector to fall from the mount.
Examples of environments that could cause the projector to fall due to case
deterioration
• Locations subject to excessive smoke or airborne oil particles, such as factories
or kitchens
• Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals, such as factories or
laboratories
• Locations where the projector could be subjected to detergents or chemicals,
such as factories or kitchens
• Locations in which aroma oils are often used, such as relaxation rooms
• Near devices that produce excessive smoke, airborne oil particles, or foam at
events
Warning
• Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are
covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
• Do not use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or
dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air filter
may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or fire.
• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the
weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing
an accident and injury.
• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling
by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to
prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident
and injury.
• Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject
to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion
could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.

Projector Maintenance 66
You may need to clean the projector's 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 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.
Cleaning the Lens 67
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.
• 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 may cause a fire.
Attention
Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not
subject the lens to any impacts; otherwise, it could be damaged. Do not use
canned air, or the gases may leave a flammable residue.
Cleaning the Projector Case 68
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.
Attention
Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, 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 flammable residue.
Air Filter and Vent Maintenance 69
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintain your projector. Clean the
air filter when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the
projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these
parts over a 5,000 hour period. Clean them more often than this if you use the
projector in a environment that is dustier than expected. (Assuming the
projector is used in an atmosphere in which airborne particulate matter is less
than 0.04 to 0.2 mg/m3.)
Attention
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.

Glossary 96
This section briefly explains the difficult terms that are not explained in the
text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available
publications.
Aspect Ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height.
Screens with a horizontal:vertical ratio of 16:9, such as HDTV
screens, are known as wide screens.
SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of
4:3.
Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image
can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand
out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this
particular property of an image is called contrast adjustment.
Full HD A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,920 (horizontal) ×
1,080 (vertical) dots.
HDCP HDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection.
It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect copyrights by
encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI ports.
Because the HDMI port on this projector supports HDCP, it
can project digital images protected by HDCP technology.
However, the projector may not be able to project images
protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP
encryption.
HDMI™An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface.
HDMI™is a standard aimed at digital consumer electronics and
computers. This is the standard by which HD images and
multichannel audio signals are digitally transmitted.
By not compressing the digital signal, the image can be
transferred at the highest quality possible. It also provides an
encryption function for the digital signal.
HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to
high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions:
• Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p =
Progressive, i = Interlace)
• Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
Pairing Register devices in advance when connecting with Bluetooth
devices to ensure mutual communication.
Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same
luminosity and color for an extremely short time.
Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per
second to refresh the light-emitting element.
The number of refresh operations per second is called the
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers
to standard television systems which do not satisfy the
conditions for HDTV High-Definition Television.
VGA A screen size standard with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) ×
480 (vertical) dots.
WXGA A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) ×
800 (vertical) dots.
