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 9. Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be about level with the bottom of the screen. Projector Screen If you place the projector below screen level, you can use the vertical lens shift dial to raise the lens (see page 29). You can also tilt the projector 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 30). For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room, see page 101. note To connect a Macintosh that includes only a Mini DisplayPort or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's VGA video port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Connecting to a Computer You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and Macintosh computers, and hand-held devices. If you have the optional wireless mouse receiver, you can use your remote control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer (page 39). 16 Setting Up the Projector

Setting Up the Projector
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of
the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens
should be about level with the bottom of the screen.
If you place the projector below screen level, you can use the vertical
lens shift dial to raise the lens (see page 29). You can also tilt the
projector 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 30).
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location,
such as a theater or conference room, see page 101.
Connecting to a Computer
You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard
video output (monitor) port, including desktop models, PC and
Macintosh computers, and hand-held devices.
If you have the optional wireless mouse receiver, you can use your
remote control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer
(page 39).
