    Choosing a Location You can use your Epson MovieMate just about anywhere—in the living room, bedroom, or even outside. You can use it with an optional floor-, wall-, or ceiling-mounted screen, or simply project on a flat white wall.
  • Page 12 MovieMate doesn’t have to be directly in front of the screen or wall, but it has to face straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the surface). If the image is too low, too high, or off to the side, you can use the quick image adjustment dials to adjust the position (see page 15 for instructions).
