A:AnswerHello Buster. The projector doesn’t include a built‑in TV tuner, so you can’t connect an antenna directly. To watch live TV with an antenna, you’ll need to use a separate TV tuner and connect it to the projector via HDMI. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello moviewatcher. The Home Cinema 980 supports screen mirroring through the Epson iProjection app on tablets and computers, but it requires an Epson wireless LAN adapter, which is sold separately. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello BEP. The PowerLite 8100 uses the Epson ELPHB550 ceiling mount, while the Home Cinema 980 uses the Epson Universal Projector Ceiling Mount Kit (ELPMBPJG). Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello jlo. Yes, the Home Cinema 980 can be ceiling-mounted. We recommend using the Universal Epson Ceiling Mount. If interested, the product SKU is ELPMBPJG. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Anthony. The Home Cinema 980 doesn’t have built-in Bluetooth, but you can still connect a streaming device like Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, or another video source that offers Bluetooth connectivity and use it with the projector. If you have self-powered speakers, you can also connect them to the projector using the Audio Out port. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Buzzy. Unfortunately, the Home Cinema 980 does not include built-in streaming, so you'll need to use your own streaming device with the projector. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello. If you're using a 98" screen, we recommend placing the projector about 8 to 10 feet from the display. For a distance of 14 feet, a 158" screen would be more suitable. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Yorsh. You can place the Home Cinema 980 up to approximately 286 inches away from the screen. At that distance, it can project onto a 150-inch screen. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
