Q: QuestionI purchased the ELPAP11 WiFi adapter for my 880. Streaming video across WiFi is somewhat choppy like it's running at 15-20FPS. Did I miss something in the network set up or is the WiFi best only used for presentations of spreadsheets and such?

Asked 4 years ago by BNCCoastal.

• A:Answer Hi BNCCoastal, The Epson iProjection app is not recommended for use with streaming video. You can use it to project static images and presentations over a wireless network. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Q: QuestionI’ve purchased a Epson Projector 880 and I’m not able to get it to fit the screen. I have the projector around 15ft from the screen and it’s to large of a pic. I’ve used the e-zoom on the remote and unfortunately still can’t get it corrected. Any advice?

Asked 4 years ago by SJE.

• A:Answer Hi SJE, At 15 feet, using 16:9 aspect ratio, the projected image will fill a 170" diagonal screen. If your projection surface is smaller you need to move the projector. For more information, please visit the Epson support site for the Home Cinema 880 and use the throw-distance calculator. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Asked 4 years ago by tvlover.

• A:Answer Hi tvlover. The Home Cinema 880 does include an Audio Out port to connect external speakers. The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the quality of the image. Image quality can also vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings. For more information, please visit the official Epson Support page. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

Q: Questionwhat is the best way to mirror a macbook? I have a thunderbolt 1, usb 2 and firewire 800. Also can I use chrome cast or wifi to mirror my laptop?

Asked 4 years ago by bies.

• A:Answer If you want to do a wired connection, you would have to use a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and use the projector as your second display. If you want to do it wirelessly, you'd need an apple tv connected to the projector as a Chromecast would only let you mirror your chrome browser.
