Choosing a Location

You can use your Epson MovieMate just about anywhere—in the living room,

bedroom, or even outside. You can use it with an optional floor-, wall-, or ceiling-

mounted screen, or simply project on a flat white wall.

The following pictures show three different setups:

■To project onto a wall, choose a flat white wall with a smooth surface. When

you find a suitable wall for projection, you may want to consider coating the

area with projection paint to enhance the image quality. For details, see the

User’s Guide on the Epson MovieMate CD.

FloorBack

Unpacking and Setting Up 7

■Epson MovieMate should be directly in front

of the screen or wall, facing straight ahead

(at a 90-degree angle to the surface).

■If the image is too low, you can raise it by

extending the feet to tilt Epson MovieMate

up. This causes the image to lose its

rectangular shape. You can adjust the shape

using the keystone buttons on Epson

MovieMate or on the remote control. See

page 10 for instructions.

■The farther you place Epson MovieMate

from the screen or wall, the larger the image will be.

If you want an 80-inch diagonal widescreen image, place Epson MovieMate about

7.8 feet away from the wall or screen. The following diagram shows the

approximate image size (measured diagonally) at various distances.

Caution:

Epson MovieMate should not be exposed to water, smoke, moisture, dust, direct heat

or sunlight, or left outside for long periods of time. These environmental factors may

cause damage to internal electronics over time. See the warranty on page 19 for

additional details.
