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 projection) • 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. 21 Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom.
Connecting Equipment 22 The illustrations are for EB-W16. 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 or commercially available computer cable Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer port.
Connecting Equipment a 23 • When projecting a computer connected to the Monitor Out/Computer2 port, set the Monitor Out Port to Computer2 from the Configuration menu. (EB-W16 only) s Extended - Operation - Monitor Out Port p.78 • 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.
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 You can connect devices such as the optional Document Camera, a USB memory, 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 files on the USB memory or digital camera using PC Free. s "PC Free examples" p.54 Attention • • • • If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly.
Connecting Equipment 26 Connecting External Equipment (EB-W16 only) You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker. A When outputting images to an external monitor Connect the external monitor to the projector's Monitor Out/Computer2 port using the cable supplied with the external monitor. B When outputting audio to an external speaker Connect the external speaker to the projector's Audio Out port using a commercially available audio cable.

Useful Functions This chapter explains useful tips for giving presentations, and the Security functions.
Projection Functions 48 Projecting 3D Images You can connect devices that support 3D playback, such as 3D Blu-ray discs and 3D games, and enjoy stunning 3D images. Preparing to view 3D images Make the following preparations before viewing 3D images. • RF active 3D Glasses (optional/ELPGS03) See the User's Guide for the 3D Glasses for more information on the 3D Glasses.
Projection Functions 49 Registering the 3D Glasses to the projector (pairing) When viewing 3D images, the projector communicates with the 3D Glasses. To communicate correctly, the 3D Glasses have to be registered to the projector. This is known as "pairing". Perform pairing in the following situations. • When turning on the 3D Glasses for the first time Pairing starts automatically when the power is turned on. • When you cannot view 3D images correctly Follow the steps below to perform pairing.
Projection Functions c Turn on and wear the 3D Glasses. Perform pairing when using the 3D Glasses for the first time. s "Registering the 3D Glasses to the projector (pairing)" p.49 If you cannot view the 3D images, press the [2D/3D] button on the remote control. 3D Display On is displayed on the projected screen. a • How a 3D image is perceived varies depending on the individual. • If you cannot view the 3D effect correctly, perform Inverse 3D Glasses from the Configuration menu.
Projection Functions a • You may not be able to view 3D images correctly if there is any interference from other Bluetooth communication devices. • The 3D Glasses use the same frequency (2.4 GHz) as wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave ovens to communicate. If these devices are used at the same time, radio wave interference may occur and the image may be interrupted. If you do need to use these devices at the same time, make sure there is enough distance between them and the projector.
Projection Functions Cautions regarding using 3D Glasses Caution • Do not drop or press too forcefully on the 3D Glasses. If the glass sections and so on are broken, an injury could occur. Store the glasses in the soft glasses case supplied. • Be careful of the edges of the frame when wearing the 3D Glasses. If they poke your eye and so on, an injury could occur. • Do not place your finger in any of the moving sections (such as the hinges) of the 3D Glasses. Otherwise an injury could occur.
Projection Functions Cautions regarding viewing methods 53 Cautions for the viewer Caution • If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop viewing immediately. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell. • When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt to view 3D images without 3D Glasses. Doing so could cause you to feel unwell. • Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D Glasses.

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 119 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.
