EPSON PowerLite 600p/800p/810p Projectors The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown: front projection ceiling mounting Image Size and Projection Distance Use the tables below to estimate how far to place the projector from the screen. Since the size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring, a range of distance is given for each screen size. Note that if you tilt the projector upward by extending the foot or use electronic keystone correction, your image size may vary. Diagonal screen size 30 inches 60 inches 100 inches 200 inches 300 inches Distance 2.9 to 3.9 feet (0.87 to 1.20 meters) 5.9 to 8 feet (1.80 to 2.45 meters) 9.9 to 13.6 feet (3.02 to 4.13 meters) 20 to 27.2 feet (6.10 to 8.30 meters) 30.1 to 40.9 feet (9.17 to 12.48 meters) rear projection rear/ceiling projection To project from overhead, you'll need to select Ceiling in the projector's Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select Rear Proj. If you're ceiling-mounting the projector and you place it above screen level, you'll have to tilt it down to position the image on-screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the V Keystone function in the projector's menu system or by using the Keystone buttons on the projector's control panel. Displaying an Image Once the projector is connected to your computer or video source and plugged in, press the red Power button on top of the projector to turn it on. The power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and the projection lamp comes on in about 30 seconds. The power light stays green, and you may see a blue screen with the message No Signal displayed. This is normal. Do one of the following: ❏ Turn on or restart your computer. In a few moments, you should see your computer display projected. If you see a New Hardware Wizard message saying that it has found a plug-and-play monitor, click Cancel. If you see a New Hardware Wizard message about USB audio, click Next and follow the instructions on the screen (Windows only). ❏ If you're projecting a video, press the Play button on your video source. If a projected image fails to appear, see the next section for help. 4 - EPSON PowerLite 600p/800p/810p Projectors 8/01
