    ■ The lamp is fragile and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact Epson to replace the lamp. ■ Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed, because the possibility of lamp breakage increases.
  • Page 13 ■ The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash. ■ The lamp in this projector is under high internal pressure and may make a loud noise if it breaks.
  • Page 14 ■ Don’t overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles.

  • Page 18: Choosing A Location

    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.
  • Page 21: Setting Up Epson Moviemate

    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.
  • Page 22: Turning The Projector Off

    ■ 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.
  • Page 23: Playing Movies

    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.
  • Page 25: Starting A Dvd

    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.
