EPSON PowerLite 600p/800p/810p Projectors
4 - EPSON PowerLite 600p/800p/810p Projectors 8/01
The projector can be installed for four different viewing
setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection
onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as
shown:
To project from overhead, you’ll need to select
Ceiling
in the
projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select
Rear Proj
.
If you’re ceiling-mounting the projector and you place it
above screen level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the
image on-screen. This causes the image to lose its square
shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the
V Keystone
function in the projector’s menu system or by
using the
Keystone
buttons on the projector’s control panel.
Image Size and Projection Distance
Use the tables below to estimate how far to place the projector
from the screen. Since the size of the image can be changed by
rotating the zoom ring, a range of distance is given for each
screen size.
Note that if you tilt the projector upward by extending the
foot or use electronic keystone correction, your image size may
vary.
Displaying an Image
Once the projector is connected to your computer or video
source and plugged in, press the red
Power
button on top of
the projector to turn it on. The power light flashes green as the
projector warms up, and the projection lamp comes on in
about 30 seconds. The power light stays green, and you may
see a blue screen with the message
No Signal
displayed. This is
normal.
Do one of the following:
❏ Turn on or restart your computer. In a few moments, you
should see your computer display projected.
If you see a New Hardware Wizard message saying that it has
found a plug-and-play monitor, click
Cancel
. If you see a
New Hardware Wizard message about USB audio, click
Next
and follow the instructions on the screen (Windows
only).
❏ If you’re projecting a video, press the
Play
button on your
video source.
If a projected image fails to appear, see the next section for
help.
