Installing the Projector To install the projector, you first need to determine the location, based on the size of your screen (maximum diagonal image size). Use the tables on page 14 as a guide to positioning the projector. To suspend the projector from a ceiling, you will need the optional projector mount designed for the projector. See page 10 for ordering information. Follow the instructions included with the mount to install the projector. WARNING: When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use any type of oil or lubricant. These may cause the projector casing to crack and the projector may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the projector. If you install the projector on the ceiling, you will need to invert the picture so that it appears right side up. Follow these steps: 1. Press the Menu button on the remote control. 2. Open the Settings menu, then select Projection. 3. Select Front/Ceiling. 4. Press the Menu button when done. Note that you can rotate the Epson logo plate 180 degrees when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you are planning to use an AV controller with the projector, refer to the table of ESC/VP21 command codes on page 69. In addition, the projector's Trigger out port can be used to lower a projection screen or operate a motorized anamorphic lens (see page 48). 16 Setting Up the Projector
