Adjusting the Image Quality

Adjusting Computer Images and RGB Video Images

Automatic Setup

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:

Trackingg, Position and Sync (synchronisation)g.

If "Auto Setup" in the "Signal" menu is set to "Off", automatic setup is not carried out. In this case, press the [Auto] button on the remote control or the [Enter] button on the projector's control panel to make the adjustment while computer or RGB video images are being projected.

Using the remote control

Using the control panel

Adjusting the Tracking

If vertical stripes appear in the projected computer or RGB video images, and this cannot be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to adjust the Trackingg manually using the following procedure.

PROCEDURE

Select "Signal" from the configuration menu, and then select "Tracking".

•Flickering and fuzziness may also occur when the brightness, contrast correction settings are adjusted.

g, sharpness, zoom, and keystone

Selecting the Projection Quality (Color Mode)

The following seven 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.

Mode Application

Photo (When computer and RGB video images are being input)

The images are vivid and brought into contrast. Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a bright room.

Sports (When component video, S-video, or composite video images are

being input) The images are vivid and brought to life. Ideal for watching TV

programmes and so on in a bright room. Presentation Ideal for giving presentations in a bright room Theatre Gives images a natural tone. Ideal for watching films in a dark room. Game Excels at emphasising dark gradations. Ideal for playing video

games in a bright room.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Pausing the Image and Sound (A/V Mute)

For example, this can be used if you want to pause the projection for a moment and focus the audience’s attention on what you are saying. Or if you are making a computer presentation and you do not want to show details, such as selecting different files.

PROCEDURE

Remote control

You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [A/V Mute] button.

•If you use this function when projecting moving images, the images and sound will still continue to be played back by the source, and you cannot return to the point where the A/V mute function was activated.

•The screen display in A/V mute can be chosen from black, blue, or a logo by using "Extended" -"Display" "A/V Mute" in the configuration menu.

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

The source image continues to project even when the screen is frozen. You can still perform operations such as changing files, without projecting any images.

PROCEDURE

Remote control

You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [Freeze] button.

•Sound does not stop.

•Even though the image on the screen is frozen, the image source continues to project, and so it is not possible to resume projection from the point where it was paused.

•Pressing the [Freeze] button also clears configuration menu displays and help messages.

•The freeze function still works while the E-Zoom function is being used.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Changing the Aspect Ratio (Resizing)

This function changes the aspect ratiog of images from 4:3 to 16:9 when

component videog, S-Videog, or composite videog images are being

projected. Images which have been recorded in digital video or onto DVDs can be viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format.

Preventing theft (Password Protect)

When the Password Protect function is activated, people who do not know the password will not be able to use the projector to project images, if the power has been disconnected since the password was last entered correctly. Furthermore, the user's logo that is displayed on the background of the screen cannot be changed. This is effective against theft. At the time of purchase, the password protection function is not enabled.

When Password Protect is Enabled

When "Power On Protect" is enabled (On)

When the power is turned on for the first time after the projector's power cable is connected to an electrical outlet, or when Direct Power On is carried out, the following password entry screen will be displayed.

Remote control

Pressed

Numeric buttons

While holding down the [Num] button, press the numeric keypad buttons to enter the password. If the password is entered correctly, projection will start.

Keep

If you leave the power cable connected to the electrical outlet and turn the projector's power on when it is in standby mode, projection will start without the password entry screen appearing. The password entry screen will only be displayed when the power is turned on for the first time after the power cable has been disconnected and then reconnected. If Direct Power On is set to "On" and you are using a circuit breaker or similar to centrally control the power, the password entry screen will be displayed the first time the projector is turned on after the power supply is restored.

•If an incorrect password is entered three times in succession, the message "The projector’s operation will be locked." will be displayed for approximately five minutes, and then the projector will switch to standby mode. If this happens, disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet and then reinsert it and turn the projector's power back on. A window requesting you to enter the password will be displayed, so enter the correct password. If you happen to forget the password, make a note of the "Request Code: xxxxx" number that appears in the Password screen and contact the nearest address provided in the "International Warranty Conditions" section of the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet.

•If you continue to repeat the above operation and input the wrong password thirty times, the following message will be displayed and the projector will not accept password entries any more. "The projector’s operation will be locked. Contact the nearest address provided in the "International Warranty Conditions" section of the Safety Instructions/World Wide Warranty Terms booklet."

Security functions

When "Password Timer" is set to "On" and "Timer" is used

The password entry screen will not be displayed at all when the power is turned on until the length of time that has been set has elapsed. When the set length of time has elapsed, the password entry screen will be displayed each time the power is turned on. The length of time referred to here is the total illumination time for the projector's lamp from the point when the projector's menu is closed. If "Password Timer" is set to "Off", the password entry screen will be displayed each time the power plug is disconnected and reinserted from the electrical outlet. If the projector’s power is on when it is in standby mode, the password entry screen will not be displayed.

When "User’s Logo Protect" is enabled (On)

Installation

Setting Up the Projector

The projector supports the following four different projection methods, allowing you to choose the best method for displaying your images.

•Before setting up the projector, make sure you read the separate SafetyInstructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms first.

•Do not set this projector up on its side to carry out projection,otherwise malfunctions may occur.

• Front projection (Front projection)

• Front/ceiling projection (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen

(Rear/Ceiling projection)

• Rear projection using a translucent screen (Rear projection)

* A special method of installation is required for suspending the projector

from a ceiling. Please contact your supplier if you would like to use this installation method. The optional ceiling mount is required when installing the projector on a ceiling. sp.67

When using ceiling projection or projection using a translucent screen, set the "Projection" command in the "Extended" menu to match the installation method.

sp.37

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.

Make sure you read the separate Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface 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's surface. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector's surface. These can cause the projector to warp and make the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.

Cleaning the Air Filters and Air Intake Vent

If dust collects on the air filter or the air outlet, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life. It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in particularly dusty environments.

If the air filters are broken or if the warning message reappears after they have been cleaned, they should be replaced. Replace with a new air filter. See "Replacing the Air Filter". sp.63

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Maintenance

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the lamp, and the air filters.

Replacing the batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. Replace the batteries. Have two spare AAAsize alkali batteries ready to use when required.

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the batteries.

PROCEDURE

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the catch of the battery compartment cover, lift the cover up.

Insert the batteries.

Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way.

Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Lamp Replacement Period

It is time to replace the lamp when:

• The message "Replace the Lamp." appears on the screen when projection starts

A message will be displayed.

• When the Lamp indicator is flashing orange

Flashing orange

•The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following periods of time in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images. "Brightness Control" sp.36

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

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

•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.

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate

Replacing the Lamp

•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 on a 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. To give the lamp enough time to cool down after turning off the power, wait for about one hour.

Maintenance

PROCEDURE

After you turn off the projector’s power, and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Wait until the lamp has cooled down, then remove the lamp cover from the base of the projector.

Loosen the lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver that is supplied with the spare lamp (or your own cross head screwdriver). Then slide the lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws with the screwdriver that is supplied with the spare lamp (or your own cross head screwdriver).

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.

Maintenance

Install the new lamp.

Insert the new lamp so that the lamp fits in place correctly and once it is fully inserted, tighten the two screws.

Install the lamp cover.

Slide the lamp cover and tighten the cover fixing screws.

•Install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the lamp turns off automatically as a safety precaution. Moreover, the lamp will not turn on if the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly.

•This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your state and local regurations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

Maintenance

Resetting the Lamp Operating Time

The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating time. When the cumulative operating time reaches a certain point, it causes the replacement warning message to be displayed. Therefore, the counter needs to be reset after the lamp has been replaced with a new one. You can do this using the configuration menu.

Do not reset the lamp operating time except after the lamp has been replaced, otherwise the lamp replacement period will not be indicated correctly.

PROCEDURE

Connect the power cable and turn on the projector.

Select "Reset" from the configuration menu, and then select "Reset Lamp Hours".

For details on this operation, refer to Menu Check the buttons you can use, and the operations they perform, in the guide at the bottom of the screen.

Connecting to External Output Equipment

Connecting to an External Monitor

Analogue RGB images and RGB video images from a computer that are being input to the Computer/Computer1 port can be viewed on an external computer monitor at the same time they are being projected by the projector, so that the images can be checked at times such as when giving presentations. If the images being projected are from a source that is connected to the Computer2 port, these images cannot be output to an external monitor. Connect the external monitor using the cable that is provided with the monitor.

Connecting to an external speaker (when using the EMP-82/62)

You can connect speakers with built-in amplifiers to the projector's Audio Out port in order to enjoy a fuller quality of sound. Use a commercially-available audio cable with pin jack ⇔ stereo mini jack (3.5 mm) plugs or similar. Use an audio cable with plugs that match the ports for the external audio equipment.

Glossary

The 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.

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.

Color Temp. The temperature of an object that is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours take on a bluish tinge. If the

colour temperature is lower, the colours take on a reddish tinge.

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".

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.

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 = progressiveg, i = interlacedg)

•Screen aspect ratiog of 16:9

•Dolby Digitalg audio reception and playback (or output)

Interlaced 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 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.

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).

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

for High-Definition Television.

Glossary

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. If the connected source has a sRGB mode, set both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.

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 (synchronisation) 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 ac ki ng 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.

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

computers.

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

computers.

List of ESC/VP21 Commands

Command List

When a power on command is sent to the projector, the power will turn on and the projector will change to warm-up mode. When the power has turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) will be returned. When the projector executes a command, it returns a ":" and waits for the next command to be sent. If command processing terminates with an error, the projector outputs an error message and then returns the ":" code.
