Important Safety Information

WARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically explained in this personnel.

WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

Welcome

The

EPSON® PowerLite® 5600p and PowerLite 7600p are portable projectors offering 2200 ANSI lumens of brightness. From boardrooms to auditoriums, your full-color presentations and videos will be bright and visible even in ordinary room lighting.

Images are displayed at a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels (PowerLite 7600p) or 800 × 600 pixels (PowerLite 5600p). The 1.3-inch LCD provides a high contrast ratio for incredibly vivid images and clear text. Improved video processing reduces “color noise” for rich, saturated images, while reduced light leakage and whisper-quiet operation contribute to theater-quality video.

With EPSON’s patented SizeWise computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA (or SXGA on the PowerLite 5600p). The projector also supports the new Digital Visual Interface (DVI) format.

Additional Components

Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need additional components:

■

To receive an S-Video signal, you need an S-Video cable. (One is usually provided with your video device.)

■

To receive a component video signal from a VCR or other video device having BNC connectors, you need a VGA-to-3BNC cable. You can purchase this from EPSON; see page 8.

■

To connect two computers to the projector at the same time, you need an additional VGA computer cable like the one included with the projector. To amplify the second computer’s audio through the projector’s sound system, you need an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo cable. See your computer or electronics dealer to obtain these cables.

■

Some older PowerBooks and Macintosh desktop models may need the Macintosh adapter set shown on page 83 (available from EPSON; see page 8). Older iMac systems may need a special adapter to provide a VGA output port; see your computer dealer.

■

Some systems may need an additional cable to use the remote control as a wireless mouse. If your Macintosh doesn’t have a USB port, you’ll need a Macintosh mouse cable. If your PC doesn’t have a USB or PS/2 port, you’ll need a PC serial mouse cable. See your projector dealer to obtain the correct cable.

■

If you plan to use the EMP Link V software to control the projector, you’ll need a standard serial cable, which you may purchase from your computer dealer.

■

To take advantage of the projector’s Digital Visual Interface, you need a DVI cable, and your computer must be capable of producing video signals in DVI format (for details, see page 88). You can purchase this cable from EPSON; see page 8.

Setting Up the Projector

This chapter tells you how to set up the projector for a laptop

computer or video presentation. If you need to set up the projector for a permanent installation or connect it to a desktop or workstation computer, see Appendix A.

You’ll find instructions for the following in this chapter:

Setting Up the Projector

caution

p y

Don’t hold or lift the

rojector by the lens, or

ou may damage it.

note

It’s easier to position the

rojector when the screen is directly in front of the room. If the screen is placed diagonally in a corner, it’s much more difficult to aim the projector correctly at the screen and get a square image.

Positioning the Projector

Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to place it. The location you choose depends on the size of the room and what you are projecting.

■

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, approximately

3.6 to 48 feet from the screen.

■

Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector.

■

Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord, and within 5 feet of your computer and/or video source.

■

Place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image will not be square.

Most presenters find it convenient to place the projector in front of the audience, leaving as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-sized image. This lets the presenter stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it.

Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you have adjusted the image size with other settings. The dimensions shown are based on using the standard lens.

3.6 to 4.6 ft7 to 9 ft36 to 48 feet distance from screen

Setting Up the Projector

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the projector upward causes the image to lose its square shape, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the

Keystone

button as described in the next

chapter.

ideal height

If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen, the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen, the image will still be square, but you won’t be able to fill the whole screen with the image.

note

After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver device to the lock port on the projector’s left side. You can purchase this from EPSON; see “Optional Accessories” on page 8

Connecting to a Laptop Computer

note

To connect to desktops and other computer systems, see

ppendix A. If you have an iBook with an RCA videoout port, follow the instructions for connecting to a video device on page 16.

You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a standard video output (monitor) port, including PC notebook and laptop computers, Macintosh PowerBooks, and hand-held devices.

Connecting the Computer Cable

Before you start, make sure your computer and the projector are turned off.

3. Connect the other end of the computer cable to your laptop’s video-out or monitor port.

If you’re using a PowerBook and you can’t connect the cable, you may need to use the Macintosh desktop adapter as shown on page 83 (available from EPSON; see page 8).

4. Tighten the screws on the connectors.

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in your projector and turn it on. See page 22 for instructions.

Connecting the Cable for Remote Mouse Control

Using the remote control as a wireless mouse lets you control your computer and click through slideshow-style presentations, such as PowerPoint, from up to 30 feet away (for details, see page 40). This gives you more flexibility in delivering your presentation, since you won’t need to stand near your computer.

1. Locate the cable you need, depending on whether your laptop has a round PS/2 mouse port or a flat USB mouse port.

2. Connect the round end of the cable to the projector’s

port, as shown.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the external mouse port or USB port on your laptop.

4. If necessary, configure your laptop to work with an external mouse.

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in your projector and turn it on. See page 22 for instructions.

If you’re using a PowerBook that has a round mouse port, you’ll need a Macintosh mouse cable. If you have a PC laptop with a serial mouse port, you’ll need a serial mouse cable. See your projector dealer to obtain the correct cable.

Setting Up the Projector

Amplifying Computer Audio

Your laptop probably has its own sound system; however, it may not be adequate for your presentation. If you need more volume or better sound quality, you can connect the audio cable to take advantage of the projector’s built-in amplifier and stereo speakers.

1. Connect one end of the audio cable to the

Audio (Computer1)

jack on the projector.

audio cable

2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to your laptop’s headphone jack or audio-out jack. (Jack locations vary; see your computer manual if you’re not sure of which jack to use.)

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in your projector and turn it on. See page 22 for instructions.

Setting Up the Projector

Connecting to Video Sources

You can connect a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, digital camera, or any other compatible video source to your projector.

The projector supports HDTV, NTSC, PAL, and SECAM, and automatically detects the video format. (However, if you’re using a 60-hertz PAL system, you’ll need to select as described on page 47.)

The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, and component video. You can connect one or more of these video sources at the same time. However, these sources share the same audio input port, so you can connect audio for only one of the sources (see page 19).

The type of cable you use depends on whether you have composite video, S-Video, or component video.

■

For composite video, use the RCA video cable included with the projector.

■

For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your electronics dealer.

■

For component video, you’ll need a VGA-to-3BNC cable. You can purchase this from EPSON; see page 8.

warning

Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the

rojector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages in the

rojector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide. Refer all other servicing to qualified service personnel.

Transporting the Projector

our projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a

regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may show up on your projected image.

You also need to periodically clean the air filter on the bottom of the projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and keep it from overheating.

The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified service person.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

■

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

■

To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.

■

Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Maintaining and Transporting the Projector

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean the air filter, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the power cord.

2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.

3. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s camel-hair brush).

latch

4. If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United States and Canada to obtain a new one.

Before removing the filter, make sure the projector is on its side as shown (not upside down) to prevent dust from falling inside. Then release the latch to remove the filter.

Maintaining and Transporting the Projector

note

When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when you replace the lamp.

You can check to see how many hours the lamp has been used. See page 55.

5. To install the new filter, first insert its tabs as shown, then press on the latch until it clicks in place.

Transporting the Projector

The projector contains many glass and precision parts. If you need to transport it, please follow these packing guidelines to prevent damage to the projector:

■

When shipping the projector for repairs, use the original packaging material if possible. If you do not have the original packaging, use equivalent materials, placing plenty of cushioning around the projector.

■

When transporting the projector for business use, first put it in a hard-shell carrying case (such as an optional EPSON case), then pack it in a firm box, using cushioning around the case.

■

When hand-carrying the projector, store it in a carrying case, such as one of the optional cases offered by EPSON.

If you want to store the remote control inside the projector’s carrying case, be sure to turn it off using the switch on its side. This prevents the batteries from discharging if something inside the case presses against one of the remote control’s buttons.

Controlling the Projector from a Computer

If you want to be able to control the projector’s settings from a computer, you can install the EMP Link V program on the Projector Software CD-ROM. You’ll also need a serial cable to connect the projector to the computer.

Connecting to Additional Equipment

To install EMP Link V, insert the Projector Software CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation program also installs the EMP Link V User’s Guide on your hard disk. You can access this manual in the EMP Link V folder for complete instructions on using the program.

Connecting to an External Audio System

The projector’s internal speakers are loud enough for most rooms. However, if your installation requires maximum volume and sound quality, you can connect the projector to external speakers or a public address (PA) system. This disables the projector’s internal speakers.

If you’ve connected multiple audio and video sources to the projector, the projector will automatically switch the audio along with the video source whenever you choose a different video source. (See “Switching Between Picture Sources” on page 29 or page 34.)

To connect the projector to an external sound system, you will need an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable, which may be included with your sound system, or may be purchased from an electronics store.

Before you start, make sure the projector and speakers or PA system are turned off.
