Projector Features

Ease of use

f Short-distance projection

The shortest recommended projection distance to the screen is a remarkably short 54 cm (21 in.)*. You can place the projector close to the screen. For example, if you project images onto the screen by a ceiling projection, you can stand close to the screen and explain projected images without casting your shadow. Also when you stand with your back to the screen, the light from the projector will not come into your sight so you will not be dazzled.

* At this distance, the projected image will measure about 110 ^ 67 cm

(43 ^ 26 in.).

f WXGA-Compatible projection

The projector can handle the image from a computer with a 16:10 WXGA wide LCD display, keeping the aspect ratio as is. This lets you make the best use of a wide surface, such as a whiteboard, as a screen.

f Network-Based control

By connecting the projector to a LAN environment, you can monitor and control the projector from a computer.

Enhanced security functions

f Password Protect to restrict and manage users

By setting a password you can restrict who can use the projector. s p.19

Changing the Projection Mode

The default projection mode is "Front" that project images from in front of the screen. To use the projector for ceiling projection, change the projection mode to "Front/Ceiling", using the following procedure.

Procedure

Hold down the "A/V Mute" button on the remote control for about 5 seconds.

The screen is cleared and then the projection mode switches from "Front" to "Front/Ceiling". s p.29

Changing the Projected Image (Source Search)

The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected. You can project the target image quickly because it skips input ports where no image is being input.

Computer1 Video

The input port where no image signal is being input is skipped.

Procedure

S-VideoComputer2

The following screen showing the status of image signals is displayed when only the image that the projector is currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the input port where the connected equipment you want to use is projecting. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.

When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning this operation.

Using the remote control

When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

Using the control panel

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Color Mode)

You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected.

Mode Application

Game Ideal for use in a bright room. This is the brightest

mode and reproduces shadow tones well.

Presentation Ideal for making presentations using color materials

in a bright room.

Tex t Ideal for making presentations using black-and-

white materials in a bright room.

Theatre Ideal for watching films in a dark room. This gives

images a natural tone.

Photo (When computer images are input)

Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a bright room. This makes images vivid and brings them into contrast.

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

video images are input) Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright room. This makes images vivid and brings them to life.

sRGBg Ideal for images that conform to the sRGB color

standard.

Blackboard Even if you are projecting onto a blackboard

(greenboard), this setting gives your images a natural tint, just like when projecting onto a normal screen.

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, the color mode name is displayed on the screen and the color mode changes.

If you press the button while the color mode name is displayed on the screen, it changes to the next color mode.

The color mode can also be set using "Color Mode" from

the "Image" menu in the configuration menu.

p.26

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)

You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are changing between files during presentations from a computer.

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, A/V Mute turns on or off.

• If you use this function when projecting moving images,

the images and sound continue to be played back by the source, and you cannot return to the point where A/V Mute was activated.

• From the remote control you can choose to display black, blue, or logo as the A/V mute display using the "Extended" - "Display" - "A/V Mute" setting in the

configuration menu.

p.29

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the Freeze function is activated beforehand.

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.

• Audio does not stop.

• The image source continues to play back the moving images even while the screen is frozen, so it is not possible to resume projection from the point where it was paused.

• If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the configuration menu or a help screen is displayed, the menu or help screen being displayed is cleared.

• Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Changing the Aspect Ratio (Aspect)

The "aspectg" is the ratio between an image's length and its height. With this projector, you can switch the ratio by using the [Aspect] button on the remote control. The aspect ratio can be set in six modes; "Auto", "Normal", "16:9", "Full", "Zoom", and "Through". By switching the aspect, you can set the best projection for a given input signal. To set up, refer to the following explanation.

f "Auto"

With the "Auto" setting, projection mode is switched according to the signal, as follows.

• 4:3 input signal: Normal

• Squeeze-recorded input signal: 16:9

• Letterboxing input signal: Zoom

*1 The "Auto" cannot be used for images from a computer and some component video signals. *2 "Normal" is applied if the connected device does not conform to EIAJ standards.

f "Normal", "16:9", "Zoom"

The input signal, recommended aspect mode and the operation are as shown in the following table.

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods.

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

• If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

Attention

Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of the screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

p.63

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

"Front" Set "Rear" or "Rear/Ceiling" in the configuration menu.

p.29

"Front/Ceiling"

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

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.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Cleaning the Lens

Attention

If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Attention

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

Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed. "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter." s "How to replace the air filter" p.56

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air

filter.

• 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 a particularly dusty environment.

p.56

Replacing Consumables

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

Replacing the Remote Control 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. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two spare AA-size dry batteries ready to use when required.

Attention

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/Support and Service Guide before handling the batteries.

Procedure

Remove the battery cover.

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

Safety Instructions

Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Caution

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

Replacing Consumables

f How to replace the lamp

Warning

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

Caution

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.

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.

Loosen the lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp or a + head screwdriver. Then slide the lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.

Replacing Consumables

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Glossary

This section briefly explains terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.

AMX Device Discovery AMX Device Discovery is a system setup technology developed by AMX Corporation. Using the AMX control system, devices to be

controlled in the system can be easily set up. Epson has adopted this technology's protocol, and has implemented a setting whereby this protocol's functions can be enabled (ON). For details, refer to the AMX website. URL http://www.amx.com/

Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. Screens that appear wide, with a width to height ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, are known as

"wide screens". The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.

Component Video A video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.

Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (color difference signals).

Composite video Video signals that have the video brightness signals and color 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 (color) signal that are contained in the color 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 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".

DHCP An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically assigns an IP addressg to equipment connected to

a network.

Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-

channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a center speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer.

Gateway address This is a server (router) for communicating across a network (subnet) divided according to subnet masksg. HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.

• Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = progressive

• Screen aspect ratio

• Dolby Digital

Interlace A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting from left

to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.

IP address A number to identify a computer connected to a network. 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 color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image

must be scanned many times per second 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 that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for

HDTV

g High-Definition Television.

g of 16:9

g audio reception and playback (or output)

g, i = interlaceg)

Glossary

SNMP An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers

and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.

SNMP Trap IP address This is the IP addressg for the destination computer used for error notification in SNMP 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 color intervals that was formulated so that colors that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled

easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.

Subnet mask This is a numerical value that defines the number of bits used for the network address on a divided network (subnet) from the IP address. SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ^ 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. S-Video A video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.

Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (color signal).

SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ^ 1024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. Synchronization The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting

images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.

Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting

images are not 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 appear in the signal.

VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) ^ 480 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. WXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ^ 800 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) ^ 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

ESC/VP21 Commands

Command List

When the power ON command is transmitted to the projector, the power turns on and it enters warm-up mode. When the projector's power has turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) is returned. When a command is input, the projector executes the command and returns a ":", and then accepts the next command. If the command being processed terminates due to a problem, an error message is output and a ":" is returned.
