Preparing the Projector This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.
Installing the Projector 20 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) • A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount).
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. 21 a When you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be reduced.
Connecting Equipment 22 Illustrations in this section are of EB-1880. 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 port to the projector's Computer port.
Connecting Equipment a 23 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.31 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.
Connecting Equipment 24 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 25 Connecting USB Devices (EB-1880/EB-1870/EB-1850W only) You can connect devices such as USB memory, the optional Document Camera, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras. Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB(TypeA) port on the projector. When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow. s "Slideshow examples" p.
Connecting Equipment 26 Removing USB devices After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector. Connecting External Equipment (EB-1880/EB-1870/EB-1850W only) You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker.
Connecting Equipment Connecting a LAN Cable (EB-1880 only) Connect a LAN port on network hubs or other equipment to the projector's LAN port with a commercially available 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable. a To prevent malfunctions, use a category 5 shielded LAN cable.
