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 four 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.

■MovieMate doesn’t have to be directly in

front of the screen or wall, but it has to face

straight ahead (at a 90-degree angle to the

surface).

■If the image is too low, too high, or off to

the side, you can use the quick image

adjustment dials to adjust the position (see

page 10 for instructions).

■The farther you place MovieMate from the

screen or wall, the larger the image will be.

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

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

approximate image size (measured diagonally) at various distances.

Caution:

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.

Watching Movies 9

Watching Movies

After you get your Epson MovieMate set up and plugged in, it’s easy to start

playing your movie. Follow the instructions in this section to adjust the picture

and sound for the best home cinema experience.

Starting a DVD Movie

Warning:

When the picture appears, do not look into the lens, and do not allow children or

pets to look into the lens. The bright light may affect your vision.

Adjusting the Picture

Once you see your picture, you may need to make some adjustments.

■If the image is too low, too high, or off to the side, use the quick image

adjustment dials to adjust its position.

Note:

The image adjustment feature cannot move the image both horizontally and

vertically by the full amount. For example, if you have moved the image all the way

up, then you cannot shift it all the way to the right or left at the same time.

■Rotate the zoom ring to reduce or enlarge the picture. For more ways to adjust

the size, see page 12.
