Positioning The Projector; Starting Up The Projector; Turning On The Projector - Epson PowerLite 53c Product Information

Positioning the Projector

Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to
place it. The location you choose depends on the size of the
room and what you are projecting.
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
2.9 and 34.4 feet from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector. Leave at least 8 inches between the
projector and a wall.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet
or extension cord and within 5 feet of your computer and/or
video source.
❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen, facing the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image
will not be rectangular.
Note
It's easier to position the projector when the screen is directly in
front of the room. If the screen is placed diagonally in a corner, it's
much more difficult to aim the projector correctly at the screen and
get a rectangular image.
Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you
position the zoom ring and whether you have adjusted the
image size with other settings.

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you'll
have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the
projector upward causes the image to lose its rectangular
shape, but the Auto Keystone feature corrects the distortion
automatically. If the image does not regain its rectangular
shape, the Auto Keystone feature may have been disabled. To
turn it on, see page 5.
If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be rectangular and you won't have to adjust it.
If you place the projector higher than the bottom of the
screen, the image will still be rectangular, but you won't be
able to fill the whole screen with the image.

Starting Up the Projector

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below, followed by any equipment you've connected to it. You
can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order,
but if you have both a computer and video source connected,
you may have to switch to the desired source as described in
step 5 on page 4.

Turning On the Projector

Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.
Caution
Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat
generated by the lamp can damage the cap.
