You will also need to clean the air filter located at the bottom of the projector periodically. It is important to keep the air filter clean because a clogged air filter prevents proper ventilation which is necessary to cool the projector and prevent it from overheating.
Cleaning the Lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Wipe the lens surface gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove dirt or stains on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent and gently wipe the lens surface. Cleaning the Projector Case To clean the projector case, first unplug the power cable. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the casing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the Air Filter The air filter, which is located at the bottom of the projector, should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust and prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean the air filter: 1. Switch the projector off and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. 2. Stand the projector with the handle at the top so that the filter is easily accessible.
4. The air filter is attached to the inside of the projector. To clean the filter you are advised to use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you do not have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth. If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. An air filter come with replacement lamps. Contact your EMP-7300/7200/5300 dealer or call an EPSON Service Centre. Be sure to request part number. (ELPLP05) 5. Replace the filter cover. 6.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 6 Troubleshooting This chapter describes the problems indicated by the status lights and provides information on what to do if you experience problems with the projector. It is divided into the following sections: • General problems with the projector. Refer to this section if the projector is not working and to find out what the warning lights are indicating. • Problems with the screen image.
Problems with the Projector If you have problems with the projector, first turn it off and unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this does not solve the problem, check the warning lights at the top of the projector. These lights alert you to problems with projector operation.
❑ The temperature indicator is red. The projector is overheating, which turns the lamp off automatically. Let the projector cool for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Make sure nothing is blocking the ventilation vents. The air filter may be clogged. Clean it as described in Chapter 5 and then let the projector cool for a while. If the projector continues to overheat after you clean the air filter, the problem may be caused by damage to the cooling fan or internal circuits.
Problems with the Image or Sound ❑ An image does not appear on the screen. Check that the power light is on and the lens cover is off. Also make sure the cables are installed correctly, as described in Chapter 1. The correct image source may not be selected. Press the Source button on the remote control or the control panel to choose another image source. ❑ Only part of the computer image is displayed. If the computer’s output resolution setting is higher than 1024 x 768, the projector resizes the image.
❑ A blank screen is displayed. The computer signal cannot be interpreted by the projector. Verify the display format (see page 89, 90). When you see a blank screen, you cannot access the projector menus. ❑ The image or parts of the image are blurred or not in focus. Adjust the Brightness and Contrast settings on the Video main menu. If you’re viewing a computer image, also try adjusting the Comp Tracking and Comp Sync buttons on the projector’s control panel. There may be dirt or smears on the lens.
