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.

Floor BackSide 
						

							Unpacking and Setting Up7
■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
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
1. Insert your DVD into the slot. 
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.
After about 30 seconds, MovieMate warms up and the picture comes on.

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.
