Use An Epson Ceiling Mount Projector

Use an Epson Ceiling Mount Projector


An Epson front projector mounted on the ceiling is minimally intrusive and ready to use any time. All you need to do is adjust the projector's settings.


Instructions


1. Stand the Epson front projector on a table facing the projection screen. Turn the Epson on with its remote. Press "Menu." Select the "System Setup" menu. Choose "Ceiling" from the list of choices under "Orientation." Press "Menu" again to exit the settings menu. Turn the projector off and let it cool down for at least 2 hours before proceeding.


2. Turn the projector over. Place the ceiling mounting plate against the screw holes on the bottom of the Epson. Screw the screws through the plate into the projector with the Phillips screwdriver. Have a professional home theater installer who is certified to work with electrical wiring mount a ceiling projector mount and run a HDMI cable from the video source.


3. Place a ladder under the front projector mount on the ceiling. Loosen the screws on the front projection ceiling mount with your fingers. Slide the mounting plate attached to the Epson into the slots on the ceiling mount. Tighten the screws on the ceiling mount with your fingers. Tighten the screws until they will not turn at all using the jaws of a pliers.








4. Attach the video cable coming out from a hole next to the ceiling mount into the appropriate connection on the Epson; for example, an HDMI cable inserted into the Epson's HDMI connection. Turn the Epson front projector on with the remote. Press the "Source" button on the remote until you see text for the type of video cable connected to the Epson -- such as "HDMI."


5. Rotate the knurled zoom ring surrounding the lens to alter the dimensions of the image so it fits inside of the projection screen. Rotate the focus ring in front of the zoom ring to focus the image -- use the "Zoom" and "Focus" buttons on the remote if there are motorized zoom and focus features.


6. Press the "Pattern" button on the remote to bring up a chart. Rotate the horizontal ring on the Epson left and right to move the image so that the left and right sides fit inside of the projection screen. Rotate the vertical ring on the Epson towards and away from you to move the image so that the top and bottom fits inside of the projection screen. Use the "Lateral" and "Vertical" buttons on the remote if there is motorized lateral and vertical orientation.


7. Press the power button on the remote to return the Epson front projector to standby mode until it's ready to be used.
