Welcome
1 Displaying and Adjusting the Image W hether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment, you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the screen.
Positioning the Projector note You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 203 for details. If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen, as shown. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it.
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen. note After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see page 13.
Follow these steps to turn on the projector: 1. Open the A/V mute slide (lens cover). note You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals for 30 minutes. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you want to start projecting again, press the P Power button. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. To enable sleep mode, see page 149. 2.
3. Press the P Power button on the remote control or on top of the projector. The projector beeps once and the Power light flashes green as the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is ready for use. 4. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 146. warning Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.
Shutting Down the Projector note Lamp life results will vary depending on mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage. Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector. This projector incorporates Instant Off technology. To turn it off, you can press its P Power button as described below, unplug it, or turn off a power switch that supplies power to the projector. You don’t have to wait for the projector to cool off first. 1.
Troubleshooting Display Problems Follow these guidelines if you’re having trouble displaying an image. You Can’t Project an Image If you don’t see the image you are trying to project, try the following: ■ Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described beginning on page 39. ■ Make sure the Power light is green and not flashing and the A/V mute slide (lens cover) is open.
■ If the function key doesn’t permit you to display simultaneously on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled.
Adjusting the Image Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments: ■ If the image is too high or too low, reposition it as described below. ■ To focus or zoom your image, see page 24. ■ If the image isn’t square, see page 24. ■ To quickly adjust the color, brightness, or contrast, see page 28. ■ To change the image aspect ratio, see page 28. ■ If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see Chapter 6.
Focusing and Zooming the Image Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image. Turn the zoom ring to reduce or enlarge the image. Focus Zoom If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. See page 32 for instructions.
You see a projected message: 2. Aim the projector so the message appears near the middle of the screen. Then use the zoom ring to enlarge the image so the white frame (not shown above) extends beyond the edges of the screen on all sides. 3. Press the Quick Setup button again. Two white boxes flash momentarily onto the screen, and the adjustment is complete. Your projected image now fits on the screen (some slight overlap is normal). The Quick Setup adjustment is retained when the projector is turned off.

8 Maintaining the Projector Y our projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do is keep the lens clean. You may also need to clean the air filter and vent. A clogged air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector. warning Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
Cleaning the Lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses. Cleaning the Projector Case caution Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case. 172 Before you clean the case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
Cleaning the Air Filter and Vent Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance. If dust collects on the air filter (on the bottom of the projector) or vent (on the front of the projector), clean them as described below.

Checking Projector Status If your projector isn’t working correctly, first turn it off, wait for it to cool (the Power light stops flashing orange), and unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this doesn’t solve the problem, check the lights on top of the projector. What To Do When the Lights Flash The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s status.
Status lights (continued) Light Status Description Flashing orange Rapid cooling is in progress. Although this is not an abnormal condition, projection will stop automatically if the temperature rises higher. Make sure there is plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and that the air filter and vents are clear. Red The projector is overheating, which turns the lamp off automatically. Wait until the cooling fan stops, then unplug the power cord.
Solving Projector Operation Problems The power doesn’t turn on. ■ If the projector doesn’t turn on when you press the P Power button, make sure the power cable is connected to the projector and plugged into a working electrical outlet. ■ The power cable may be defective. Disconnect the cable from the outlet and contact Epson as described on page 197. ■ Check to see if the A/V mute slide (lens cover) is closed. The buttons on the projector don’t work.
■ If you are projecting from a DVD player or other video source, make sure you turn it on and press its Play button. You’ve connected a computer and see a blue screen with the message No Signal displayed. ■ Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described on page 40. ■ If you’ve connected a computer and one or more video sources, you may need to press the Source Search button on the projector or one of the source buttons on the remote control to select the correct source.
The message Not Supported is displayed. ■ Make sure the correct input signal is selected in the Signal menu (see page 141). ■ Make sure your computer’s resolution doesn’t exceed UXGA (1600 × 1200) and the frequency or refresh rate is supported by the projector (see page 207). If necessary, change your computer’s resolution setting. Only part of the computer image is displayed. ■ Press the Auto button on the remote control. ■ Make sure the image Position setting is correct in the Signal menu.
The image contains static or noise. ■ If you’re using a computer cable longer than 6 feet, or an extension cable, the image quality may be reduced. ■ Keep your computer and video cables away from the power cord as much as possible to prevent interference. ■ The video signal may be split between the computer and the projector. If you notice a decline in the projected image quality when the image is displayed simultaneously on your notebook computer and the projector, turn off the notebook’s LCD display.
You see vertical bands or the image still looks blurry after trying the solutions in the previous section. ■ ■ If you’re projecting from a computer and displaying an image that contains a lot of fine detail, you may notice vertical bands or some of the characters may look heavy or blurred. Press the Auto button on the remote control or the Enter button on the projector to reset the projector’s Tracking, Sync, and Position settings. note You must be projecting an image for this button to have any effect.
■ Try adjusting the Brightness and Contrast settings on the Image menu. ■ Check your computer display settings to correct the color balance. ■ The projector’s lamp may need to be replaced. See page 174 for instructions. ■ Make sure the correct input signal is selected in the Signal menu (see page 142). There is no sound, or the sound is not loud enough.
Solving Network Problems You don’t see your projector in the EMP Monitor window. ■ Make sure that you’ve connected the projector to the network and configured it correctly; see page 61. Also, make sure you’ve registered the projector with EMP Monitor; see page 157. ■ Make sure that Standby Mode in the projector’s Extended menu is set to Network On. ■ If the computer you are using is running Windows XP, Vista, or 2000, you must be logged in as the Administrator. ■ Try restarting your computer.
Solving Problems ■ If the projector is configured for Access Point mode and you’re using DHCP, allow time for your projector to appear. It takes the server a little while to pick up the IP address. ■ If you’ve changed any settings for your projector or network, or restarted your computer, allow a minute or two for the connection to appear. If you’re using AirPort, try turning AirPort off and then on again. ■ Make sure that you’re trying to connect to the right network.
■ If you’re using AirPort and DHCP is turned off on your projector’s Access Point mode advanced settings screen, make sure Distribute IP Addresses is off. ■ If you’re using Access Point mode and you’re connecting to the wrong network, you may be experiencing signal interference from another network. Try resetting your access point or base station, then restart NS Connection. ■ If you’re using AirPort, the projector’s ESSID should match the AirPort network name, not the name of the AirPort base station.
