This document provides a comprehensive quick setup guide for the PowerLite® Pro Cinema 4040/6040UB projector, covering initial placement, device connection, remote control usage, image adjustment, and 3D viewing. It also includes troubleshooting tips, support information, and warranty details.

Function Description

The PowerLite® Pro Cinema 4040/6040UB is a high-performance projector designed for home cinema use, capable of displaying both 2D and 3D content. It offers advanced image adjustment features, multiple connectivity options, and an intuitive remote control for ease of use. The projector is designed to deliver a high-quality visual experience, with features like lens shift and keystone correction to ensure a perfectly aligned image.

Usage Features

Initial Setup and Placement:

To begin, the projector should be placed on a level surface with its lens horizontally centered relative to the screen, and at a height where the lens is even with the top or bottom of the screen. If perfect alignment isn't possible, the projector offers lens shift and keystone correction features to adjust the image. For 3D viewing, RF 3D glasses must be worn within 32 feet (10 m) of the projector. The manual includes a diagram illustrating the optimal viewing area for 3D projection.

Powering On and Off:

To turn on the projector, press the power button on the projector itself or the "On" button on the remote control. The lens shutter will open, and the power light will flash blue before staying solid blue. To shut down, press the power button on the projector or the "Standby" button on the remote control. If necessary, press the button again to confirm the shutdown. It's important to wait for the projector to cool down completely before unplugging it.

Navigating the Home Screen:

Upon powering on, the Home screen appears. Users can navigate through the options using the arrow buttons on the remote control and select an option by pressing "Enter." The Home screen provides quick access to various functions, including displaying a QR code, switching between projection sources, and accessing adjustment options.

Language Selection:

The default menu language is English. To change it, press the "Menu" button on either the projector or the remote control. Navigate to "Extended," press "Enter," then select "Language" and press "Enter" again. Choose the desired language and press "Enter." Press the "Menu" button to exit the system.

Connecting Video Devices:

The projector supports multiple video input devices. For sources requiring HDCP 2.2, the HDMI1 port must be used. Users can switch between connected devices using the "Source" buttons on the remote control or the dedicated button on the projector. The manual provides diagrams for connecting HDMI and Optical HDMI devices.

Remote Control Usage:

The remote control is a central interface for operating the projector. It requires two AA batteries, which should be installed as shown in the manual. Key functions include:

• On/Standby: Turns the projector on or off.
• Home/Blank: Accesses the Home screen or blanks the projector display.
• Source Selection: Buttons for HDMI 1, HDMI 2, P-in-P, PC, and LAN allow users to choose the input source.
• HDMI Link: Controls connected sources via HDMI Link.
• Lens Controls: Adjusts zoom, focus, and lens shift.
• Menu: Accesses the projector's main menu system.
• Navigation: Arrow buttons and "Enter" are used to navigate menus and make selections.
• Other Buttons: Includes Mute, Color, Image, Memory, Lens1, Lens2, Frame, Int, RGBCMY, Pattern, User, 3D, Format, and Aspect buttons for various adjustments and features.

Image Adjustment:

1. Displaying a Test Pattern: Press the "Pattern" button on the remote control to display a test pattern, which aids in accurate image adjustment.
2. Adjusting Front Feet: To raise the image or correct a tilted image, adjust the front feet of the projector as illustrated.
3. Focus Adjustment: Press the "Lens" button on the remote control, then use the left and right arrow buttons to focus the image.
4. Zoom Adjustment: Press the "Lens" button again, then use the left and right arrow buttons to reduce or enlarge the image.
5. Lens Shift: Press the "Lens" button a third time, then use the up, down, left, and right arrow buttons to reposition the image.
6. Keystone Correction: If the image appears trapezoidal, use the keystone correction buttons on the projector to correct it. The manual notes that keystone adjustment can affect image size and resolution, so it's preferable to adjust the projector's physical position and use lens shift if possible. Press "Esc" to exit the adjustment menu.

Viewing 3D Images:

1. Connect 3D Video Device: Connect a 3D-compatible video device to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
2. 3D Glasses: Ensure you have Epson RF 3D active shutter glasses (part number V12H548006) or compatible glasses.
3. Start Playback: Turn on the 3D-compatible video device and begin playback of 3D content. Ensure the video device is set to play content in 3D mode.
4. Activate 3D Glasses: Slide the power switch on the 3D glasses to the "On" position.
5. Pairing 3D Glasses: If the glasses don't automatically display 3D content, they may need to be paired with the projector. Move the glasses within 10 feet (3 m) of the projector, then press and hold the "Pairing" button on the glasses for at least 3 seconds. The status light on the glasses will alternately flash green and red, then remain green for 10 seconds if pairing is successful.
6. 2D-to-3D Conversion: The projector can convert 2D HDMI content to 3D. To enable this, press the "Menu" button on the projector or remote control. Navigate to "Signal" > "3D Setup" > "2D-to-3D Conversion," then select "Weak," "Medium," or "Strong" and press "Enter."
