Setting Up the Projector
T
his chapter tells you how to unpack your projector and set it up for
a presentation. The projector must be connected to a computer or a
video source such as a VCR, DVD player, camcorder, digital camera,
or laser disc player before it can project any images. You may also want
to set up the projector for one or more of the following:
■ Use the remote control as a wireless mouse. This lets you move
around the room and interact with your audience, without
worrying about where you’ll stand.
■ Provide audio for one or more of your image sources. The audio
source can be the computer, video source, or another device such
as a stereo.
Unpacking the Projector
Make sure you have all the parts shown on the next page. (You won’t
need all these components; your configuration will determine which
ones you need.)
Save all packaging in case you need to ship the projector. Always use
the original packaging (or the equivalent) when you need to send the
projector to another location.
If you’re moving the projector by hand, use a carrying case (either a
case available from EPSON or something similar, such as a laptop
case). See page 82 for transportation instructions.
