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. The following pictures show three different setups:...
Page 19
Your projector should be directly in front of the screen or wall, facing straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the surface). If the image is too low, you can raise it by extending the feet and tilting the projector up. This causes the image to lose its rectangular shape, but the projector will correct it automatically.
Page 20
Standard aspect ratio (4:3) Image size (diagonal) Projection distance 21 in. 2.5 to 3.4 ft. (0.8 to 1 meter) 30 in. 3.6 to 4.9 ft. (1.1 to 1.5 meters) 50 in. 6 to 8.2 ft. (1.8 to 2.5 meters) 60 in. 7 .2 to 9.8 ft.
Setting Up Epson MovieMate 1. If you have a screen, set it up following the instructions included with the screen. Make sure you read all the instructions to avoid damaging the screen. 2. Put the batteries in the remote control.
■ If you would like to play a DVD, see “Playing Movies” on page 23. ■ If you would like to connect other equipment to the projector, see“Using Epson MovieMate with Other Equipment” on page 34. Turning the Projector Off 1.
To optimize viewing of projector images, follow the recommendations in this section. Viewing on a Wall You can easily view Epson MovieMate’s high quality images on any flat white wall in your home. There is no cost or setup involved, and you can project and resize the image up to any size that fits on your wall.
Page 24
Standard screens have a 4:3 shape ratio, which is better suited for viewing computer presentations and standard TV broadcasts. Watching DVD movies or HDTV broadcasts on a 4:3 ratio screen limits the image width and leaves unused screen area above and below the image.
Screen surface quality can also affect the reflectivity of light in your projected image. Screen reflective properties are measured as “gain” rates, with 1.0 gain as the reflectivity of a white board. Highly reflective screen surfaces (above 1.0 gain) create a brighter image, but the brightness may not be uniform enough for a dedicated home theater environment and the colors may appear to shift from different viewing angles.
Adjusting the Picture After you set up and start the projector, you may need to make certain adjustments. ■ If the image is too low, you can extend the feet (by pressing the foot adjustment levers) and tilt the projector up. ■...
■ Use the Zoom setting in the Signal menu to adjust the image size. See page 52. ■ Rotate the focus ring to sharpen the picture. ■ To enlarge or reduce the aspect ratio of the picture, press the button on the remote control to select , or (if available for the video source you’re using).
