Preparing the Projector This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.
Installing the Projector 18 Installation Methods Warning The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location. • Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection) • Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion) • Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen.
Installing the Projector • Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen. If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image. • Place the projector on a level surface. If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted. 19 a When you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be reduced. 4:3 Screen Size EB-X15/EB-X14H/EB-X11H a • See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.
Connecting Equipment 20 Illustrations in this section are of EB-X15. The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected. Connecting a Computer To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods. A When using the supplied computer cable Connect the computer's display output to the projector's Computer1 or Computer2 port.
Connecting Equipment a • You can use a USB cable to connect the projector to a computer to project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. s "Projecting with USB Display" p.28 • Depending on the model used and the area of purchase, the USB cable may not be supplied with the projector.
Connecting Equipment Connecting Image Sources To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods. A When using a commercially available video or S-video cable Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port. Or, connect the S-video output port on the image source to the projector's S-Video port.
Connecting Equipment 23 Attention • If the input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could cause a malfunction. • If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction. a • If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector.
Connecting Equipment 24 Connecting External Equipment You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker. The illustration in this section is of EB-X14H/EB-X11H/EB-S11H.

Glossary 98 This section briefly explains the difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications. Aspect Ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. Screens with a horizontal:vertical ratio of 16:9, such as HDTV screens, are known as wide screens. SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Glossary 99 Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called Tracking. If Tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal. VGA A screen size standard with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots.
