EPSON PowerLite 600p/811p/820p Projectors
4 - EPSON PowerLite 600p/811p/820p Projectors 4/02
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 table 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
P 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.
What To Do If You See a Blank Screen
If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the message
No Signal after turning on your computer or video source, do
one of the following:
❏ Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described in
the User’s Guide.
❏ Make sure the power light is green and not flashing and the
lens cover is off.
❏ Try restarting your computer.
❏ If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video
source, you may need to press the
Computer/YCbCr or
Video button on top of the projector to select the correct
source. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after
pressing the button.
