•
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a
ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage
or injury.
•
Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount xing points to prevent the screws
from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the
projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. is could cause
serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.
•
Failure to install the ceiling mount and projector may cause the projector to fall.
Secure the mount to all of the projector's ceiling mount xing points as specied
in the projector's User's Guide. Also, secure the projector and the mount using
wires that are strong enough to hold their weight. Be sure to use a mount specied
by Epson that is compatible with this projector.
•
Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or humidity,
or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a re
or electric shock to occur. e projector's case could also deteriorate and be
damaged causing the projector to fall from the mount.
Examples of environments that could cause the projector to fall due to case
deterioration
•
Locations subject to excessive smoke or airborne oil particles, such as factories
or kitchens
•
Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals, such as factories or
laboratories
•
Locations where the projector could be subjected to detergents or chemicals,
such as factories or kitchens
•
Locations in which aroma oils are oen used, such as relaxation rooms
•
Near devices that produce excessive smoke, airborne oil particles, or foam at
events
•
Locations near humidiers

Warning
•
Do n
ot cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are
covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a re.
•
Do not use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or
dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air lter
may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or re.
•
Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the
weight specications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an
accident and injury.
•
When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling
by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to
prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident
and injury.
•
Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject
to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion
could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.
Attention
•
If y
ou are using the projector at altitudes above 1,500 m (4,921 feet), set the High
Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's

Aspect Ratio e ratio between an image's length and its height.
S

screens, are known as wide screens.
SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Contrast e relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image

an be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand
out more clearly, or to make them appear soer. Adjusting this
particular property of an image is called contrast adjustment.
4K A screen size standard with a resolution of 3,840 (horizontal) ×
2,160 (ver
tical) dots.
Full HD A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,920 (horizontal) ×
1,080 (ver
tical) dots.
HDCP HDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content
Pr
otection.
It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect copyrights by
encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI ports.
Because the HDMI port on this projector supports HDCP, it can
project digital images protected by HDCP technology.
However, the projector may not be able to project images
protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP encryption.
HDMI
™
An abbreviation for High D eni
tion Multimedia Interface.
HDMI
™
is a standard aimed at digital consumer electronics
and computers. is is the standard by which HD images and
multichannel audio signals are digitally transmitted.
By not compressing the digital signal, the image can be
transferred at the highest quality possible. It also provides an
encryption function for the digital signal.
HDTV An abbreviation for Hig
h-Denition Television that refers to
high-denition systems which satisfy the following conditions:
•
Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p =
Progressive, I = Interlace)
•
Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
Pairing Register devices in advance when connecting with Bluetooth
dev
ices to ensure mutual communication.
Refresh Rate e light-emitting element of a display maintains the same
l
uminosity and color for an extremely short time.
Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per
second to refresh the light-emitting element.
e number of refresh operations per second is called the
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Deni
tion Television that refers to
standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions
for HDTV High-Denition Television.
