Screen surface quality can also affect the reflectivity of light in your projected image. Screen reflective properties are measured as "gain" rates, with 1.0 gain as the reflectivity of a white board. Highly reflective screen surfaces (above 1.0 gain) create a brighter image, but the brightness may not be uniform enough for a dedicated home theater environment and the colors may appear to shift from different viewing angles. In a home theater room with darkened surroundings and controlled lighting, a screen surface with less than 1.0 gain is best. For rooms where you cannot control the light or will always have ambient light, you may want to select a screen surface with more than 1.0 gain to compensate for the additional brightness. Adjusting the Picture After you set up your Epson MovieMate and start your movie, you may need to make certain adjustments. ■ If the image is too low, too high, or off to the side, use the quick image adjustment dials to adjust its position.

For example, if you have moved the image all the way up, then you cannot shift it all the way to the right or left at the same time. Playing Movies 15

Screen surface quality can also affect the reflectivity of light in your projected image. Screen
reflective properties are measured as “gain” rates, with 1.0 gain as the reflectivity of a white
board. Highly reflective screen surfaces (above 1.0 gain) create a brighter image, but the
brightness may not be uniform enough for a dedicated home theater environment and the
colors may appear to shift from different viewing angles.
In a home theater room with darkened surroundings and controlled lighting, a screen surface
with less than 1.0 gain is best. For rooms where you cannot control the light or will always

Adjusting the Picture
After you set up your Epson MovieMate and start your movie, you may need to make certain
adjustments.
If the image is too low, too high, or off to the side, use the quick image adjustment dials
to adjust its position.
Note:
The image adjustment feature cannot move the image both horizontally and vertically by
the full amount. For example, if you have moved the image all the way up, then you cannot
shift it all the way to the right or left at the same time.
