PROCEDURE

Features of the Projector

The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily

obtain the optimum images simply by selecting the image quality.

In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in

places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow

images to be projected in their natural tints.

Troublesome colour adjustments can thus be avoided.

p.44, p.52, p.55

• Dynamic • Presentation • Theatre

• Living Room • sRGB • Blackboard

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings. If projecting

images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are too bright,

change the setting to "Low".

In addition, when the setting is changed to "Low", the amount of power

consumed and noise produced are reduced and the operating life of the lamp

can be extended.

• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%

• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 10%

• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life

p.61

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone

distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. p.38

Features of the Projector

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page (24

(D) × 31.5 (W) × 8.7 (H) cm (9.45 (D) × 12.4 (W) × 3.43 (H) in.) and is light

in weight (approximately 2.9 kg. (6.4 lbs)), making it easy to carry.

Clear and attractive images can be obtained even in bright locations.

The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing

projection (see "Freeze" on p.47) and zooming in on important areas of

an image (see "E-Zoom" on p.49). In addition, the remote control can be

used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection

(see "Wireless Mouse Function" on p.19). If using the wireless mouse

function, you can use the remote control to scroll back and forth through

pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

If the password Protect function is employed, a password can be used to

limit operation of the projector and changing of settings. This means that the

projector cannot be used if it is taken without authorisation, and thus serves

as a theft-prevention feature. p.27

Connecting to a Computer

Eligible Computers

The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or

projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is

possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the

conditions given below.

• Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.

Check that the computer has a port such as an "RGB port", "monitor port"

or "CRT port" which can output image signals.

If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it

may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or

alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port.

Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as

"Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.

• Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer

must be listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See

•If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone

correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting.

p.51, p.54

•Keystone correction can also be carried out using the configuration

menu. p.58

•If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing

when keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the

limit for keystone correction has been reached. Check that the

projector has not been set up at an angle which exceeds the proper

limit.

Adjusting the Image Quality

The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows.

Adjusting Computer Images and RGB Video Images

Automatic setup detects analogue RGB signals coming from a connected

computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum

images can be obtained.

Automatic setup involves adjustment of the following three items:

Tracking , Position and Sync. (Synchronization) .

Automatic Setup

TIP

•If "Auto Setup" in the "Image" menu is set to "OFF" (the default

setting for this item is "ON"), automatic setup is not carried out. If

you press the [Auto] button on the remote control while computer or

RGB video signals are being projected, adjustment will then be

carried out.

• If you press the [Auto] button while the E-Zoom or Freeze function is

being used or while a configuration menu or help menu is being

displayed, the function will be cancelled when you press the [Auto]

button, and then the adjustment will be carried out.

•Sometimes the signals may not be adjusted correctly depending on

the type of computer or RGB video signals being output. In such

cases, use the configuration menu commands to adjust the tracking

and sync settings manually. p.42, p.43

to exit the configuration menu.

Adjusting the Sync

TIP

•If you adjust the sync without adjusting the tracking first, it will not

be possible to get the best adjustment results. Incorrect tracking

adjustment may not be noticeable with some types of picture.

However, pictures with lots of lines and shading will tend to show

incorrect tracking adjustments more clearly, so be sure to check the

tracking adjustment first.

•It may also be possible to fix flickering and fuzziness by adjusting the

brightness, contrast , sharpness and keystone correction settings.

Adjusting the Image Quality

Selecting the Projection Quality

(Colour Mode Selection)

The following six preset colour modes are available for use depending on

the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily

obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that

corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will

vary depending on which colour mode is selected.

The default setting for the colour mode is as follows.

When computer or RGB video images are being input: "Presentation"

When other images are being input: "Dynamic"

PROCEDURE

The colour mode changes as follows each time the [Color

Mode] button is pressed.

The current setting appears in the top-right corner of the screen each

time the colour mode is changed.

Mode Application

Dynamic Brightness is emphasised, so that images are fresher and have

greater modulation than in Presentation mode.

Presentation Brightness is emphasised to produce images that are ideal for

presentations.

Theatre Movie images are optimised using natural tints.

Living Room Brightness is emphasised to produce images that are ideal for

projecting TV images, etc. in bright rooms.

sRGB Images conform to the sRGB colour standard. If the connected

source has a sRGB mode, set both the projector and the

Blackboard Images with natural tints can be obtained when projecting

onto a blackboard (green).

Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and

replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of

projected images starts to deteriorate.

Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water

containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the

cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the case

again with a soft, dry cloth.

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to

gently wipe the lens.

If the air filters become clogged with dust, or if the message "The projector

is overheating. Clean or replace the air filter and lower the room

temperature." appears on the screen, clean the air filters and the air intake

vent.

If the air filters become clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and

damage the projector.

Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air

intake vent.

Cleaning the Projector Case

periods of time in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality

of the projected images.

· When used continuously at high luminance: Approx. 1900 hours

· When used continuously at low luminance : Approx. 2900 hours

"Brightness Control" p.61

•If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the

lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement

message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as

possible, even if it is still working.

•Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has

been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the

lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare

lamp ready in case it is needed.

•Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Maintenance

PROCEDURE

Turn the projector power off, wait for the cool-down

period to end, then disconnect the power cable.

The cool-down period lasts for about 20 seconds.

Wait until the lamp has cooled down, then remove the

lamp cover from the base of the projector.

It takes approximately one hour for the lamp to cool down by

itself after the cool-down period has finished.

Insert the screwdriver that is supplied with the spare lamp or

some other flat-tipped screwdriver into the hollow between the

projector and the lamp cover, and turn it to release the lock.

Slide the screwdriver in until the mark on the lamp cover and

the mark on the projector are aligned. Then lift up the lamp

cover to remove it.

some other flat-tipped screwdriver to loosen the two lamp

fixing screws that are securing the lamp to the projector.

Replacing the Lamp

CAUTION

•If you are replacing the lamp because it has stopped working, it is

possible that the lamp is broken.

If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed to the

ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and be

extremely careful when removing the lamp cover.

•Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the

lamp cover. It takes a further one hour after the cool-down period

has finished for the lamp to be cool enough.

Maintenance

Take out the lamp.

Hold the lamp as shown in the illustration below and lift it up

and out of the projector.

If the lamp is broken replace it with a new lamp, or contact your

local dealer for further advice. If replacing the lamp yourself,

be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass.

Glossary

Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which are not explained in the text of this guide itself. Further

information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.

5BNC A port used to input analogue video signals.

Abs. Color Temp. The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the absolute colour temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a

bluish tinge. If the absolute colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.

Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The

aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.

Component video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals separated, in order to provide better image quality.

In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb

and Pr (colour difference signals).

Composite video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used

by household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats).

The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal which are contained in the colour bar are overlapped to

form a single signal.

Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and

graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called

"contrast adjustment".

Cool-down This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. Cool-down is carried out

automatically when the [Power] button is pressed to turn off the power. Do not disconnect the power cable while cool-down is

in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally,

the projector's lamp and internal components will remain at high temperatures, and this may shorten the operating life of the

lamp or cause problems with the operation of the projector.

Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two speakers. Dolby

Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.

EMP Link 21L A utility software program that allows the projector to be connected to a computer so that the computer can be used to control

the projector. For details on acquiring the software and for instructions on using the software and compatible projector

models, please visit the Web site http://www.epson.co.uk/support/download/projector.htm.

HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.

•Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressive scanning , i = interlaced scanning )

•Screen aspect ratio of 16:9

•Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output)

Interlaced scanning A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence

starting from left to right and then from the top to the bottom of the screen. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines

are displayed alternately.

Progressive scanning A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create

a single image.

Glossary

Refresh rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this,

the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh

operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

Resize display This function is used to project computer images that have a resolution more than or less than the projector's panel resolution

to be projected so that they fill the whole of the projection area.

SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions

for High-Definition Television.

Security lock A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed

through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System

manufactured by Kensington.

Squeeze mode In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the

recording medium as 4:3 images.

When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.

sRGB An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment

can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.

SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible

computers.

S-Video A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated in order to provide better image quality.

It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (colour signal).

SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) × 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible

computers.

Sync. (Synchronization) The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not

match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals

(the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronized,

problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.

Tr a ck i n g The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not

match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these

signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will

appear in the projected images.

USB An abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. USB is an interface for connecting personal computers to peripheral devices which

only support relatively low data transmission speeds.

UXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1600 (horizontal) × 1200 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible

computers.

VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible

computers.

Glossary

XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible

computers.

YCbCr The carrier signal which is contained in the colour bar signal used in modern TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y

(luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma (colour)) signals.

YPbPr The carrier signal which is contained in the colour bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name

comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (colour difference) signals.

List of ESC/VP21 Commands

Command List

When a power ON command is sent to the projector, the power for the

projector turns on. When the projector is in a command ready state, it

returns the "3Ah" (:) code. Furthermore, when command processing is

complete, the projector also returns a ":" code.

The ":" code status can be used to determine whether the projector is ready

or busy. If command processing terminates with an error, an error message

is output and then the ":" code is sent.

FCC Compliance Statement

For United States Users

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

interference to radio and television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this

equipment will invalidate the FCC Certification or Declaration of this device

and may cause interference levels which exceed the limits established by

the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and

use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this

equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables

connected to unused interfaces. Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate
