Epson MovieMate 72 User Manual

Playing Movies

Screen surface quality can also affect the reflectivity of light in your projected image. Screen 
reflective properties are measured as “gain” rates, with 1.0 gain as the reflectivity of a white 
board. Highly reflective screen surfaces (above 1.0 gain) create a brighter image, but the 
brightness may not be uniform enough for a dedicated home theater environment and the 
colors may appear to shift from different viewing angles. 

In a home theater room with darkened surroundings and controlled lighting, a screen surface 
with less than 1.0 gain is best. For rooms where you cannot control the light or will always 
have ambient light, you may want to select a screen surface with more than 1.0 gain to 
compensate for the additional brightness.

After you set up your Epson MovieMate and start your movie, you may need to make certain 
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.
