Positioning The Projector; Turning On And Off The Projector - Epson PowerLite 1825 User Manual

Positioning the Projector

If the projector isn't already installed in the room you're using,
you'll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen.
This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience,
and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control
it. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector
and the screen to get a good-size image.
Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image
size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you
position the zoom ring and whether you've adjusted the image
with other settings.

Distance from screen
Also keep these considerations in mind:
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of
anything that could block the vents under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet (3 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
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 at about the level of the bottom of the
screen.

If you place the projector below screen level, you'll have to tilt it
up by extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image
to become "keystone" shaped, but you can correct the
distortion. (See "Adjusting the Image Shape" on page 6.)

Turning On and Off the Projector

Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before
starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display
the image source. If you turn on the projector first or have
multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select
the image source manually (see page 5).
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1. Open the A/V mute slide (lens cover).
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the
other end into an electrical outlet.
The light turns orange.
