Setting up the Projector Setting up the Projector For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality.
The projection screen size varies according to the distance from the lens of the projec- tor to the screen. Install the projector so that projected images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size by referring to the table below. Use the values in the table as a reference when installing the projector.

When connecting to equipment with HDMI output teminal (INPUT6) HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable. Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an amplifier or other audio device.
• The INPUT5 terminal is also compatible with a component video signal so that you can connect the projector to a DVD player with a component output terminal. For details, contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub RS- 232C adaptor and an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commercially available), the com- puter can be used to control the projector and check the status of the projector. See page 58 for detail.

Rotate the zoom ring to enlarge or shrink the screen size. 3 Adjusting the Height The height of the projector can be ad- justed using the adjustment feet at the front and rear of the projector. When the screen is above the projec- tor, the projection image can be made higher by adjusting the projector.
Page 35
• Do not apply too much pressure on the pro- jector when the front adjustment foot comes out. • When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment foot and the projector.
Image Projection (Continued) Correcting Trapezoidal Distortion When the image is projected either from the top or from the bottom towards the screen at an angle, the image becomes distorted trapezoidally. The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion is called Keystone Correction. There are the two types of the Keystone Correction.
Page 37
However, this is not a malfunction. • If you cannot correct trapezoidal distortion with Keystone correction, change the placement position of the projector. • Straight lines and the edges of the displayed image may appear jagged, when adjusting the Keystone setting.
• When you confirm the lower left posi- tion, the screen adjustments will be set and the “GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT” mode will end. Note • The placement of the screen and the projector may result in the image aspect ratio becoming slightly distorted. EIP-1600T_EN_h R On-screen display...

Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projector before use.
At this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red. I If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will not turn on.
Page 57
The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction. • Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered standby mode and while the cooling fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.
I Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. * If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center. * If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center for repair.
• The lamp unit becomes very hot while the pro- jector is operating. Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp and parts around the lamp will be very hot and may cause burns or injury.
