Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment,

you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the screen.

Follow the guidelines in this chapter for:

■ Positioning the projector

■ Turning the projector on and selecting the image source

■ Troubleshooting display problems

■ Adjusting the image

■ Turning off the projector

note

You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 81 for details.

Positioning the Projector

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. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.

Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other settings.

TBD

Also keep these considerations in mind:

■ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.

■ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and

under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything that could block the vents under the projector.

■ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical

outlet or extension cord.

14 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

3.2 to 3.9 ft6.6 to 7.9 ft33.1 to 39.7 ft Distance from screen

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.

Projector

Screen

If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the buttons on the projector. See page 22 for detailed information about correcting the image shape.

For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room, see page 81.

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 page 11.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 15

Projecting the Image

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up as described on page 35. Then follow the instructions below to start the projector and display an image.

Turning On the Projector

note

To shut down the projector, see page 24. Shutting down the projector correctly prevents premature lamp failure and possible damage from overheating.

Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually (see page 17).

Follow these steps to turn on the projector:

1. Remove the lens cap.

2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other end into an electrical outlet.

The

Power light comes on.

Power light

16 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

3. Press the red PPower 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’ve connected a Windows

-based computer to the projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard screen saying your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click

Cancel.

5. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 52.

Selecting the Image Source

Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from different pieces of connected equipment (such as a computer or DVD player).

If you don’t see the image you want, press the on the projector or the

Search button on the remote control until

you see the image you want to project.

You can also use the

Source buttons on the remote control to switch

between devices connected to the ports identified on each button. The PowerLite 750c/760c does not support EasyMP.

warning

Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.

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 35.

■ Make sure the Power light is green and not flashing and the lens

cap is off.

■ If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video source,

you may need to press the projector’s control panel or to select the correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.)

■ If you’re using a PC notebook, press the function key on your

keyboard that lets you display on an external monitor. It may be labeled hold down the

If you’re projecting from a notebook, and you can’t see your image on the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow these guidelines.

If you’re using a PC notebook:

■ On most systems, there’s a function key that lets you toggle

between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. It may be labeled

Adjusting the Image

Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:

■ If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See

below.

■ To focus or zoom your image, see page 22.

■ If the image isn’t square, see page 22.

■ If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 24.

If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see Chapter 4.

Adjusting the Height of Your Image

If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable foot to raise it.

1. Stand behind the projector. Press the blue foot release lever up and lift the front of the projector.

2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever to lock the foot in position.

3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image by turning the projector’s rear foot.

Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,” but you can manually correct the shape as described on page 22.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 21

Projector rear foot

Focusing and Zooming Your Image

Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.

Turn the zoom ring on the projector 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 31 for instructions.

Adjusting the Image Shape

In most cases, you can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the projector directly in front of the center of the screen with the base of the lens level with the bottom of the screen.

Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 30° up or down), the projector has an automatic keystone correction function that detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.

It takes about one second after projection starts for the image to be corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone correction gauge appears on the screen.

22 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Corrected imageProjector tilted up Projector tilted down

If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using the Keystone buttons on the projector’s control panel or the projector’s Setting menu.

Using Keystone Correction

To adjust your image when it is wider on the top or bottom, do the following:

■ Press one of the two triangular buttons on the projector’s control

panel, as shown below. Continue pressing the button until you are satisfied with the shape of the image.

Correcting Computer Images

note

You must be projecting an image for this button to have any effect. The works only with computer images.

note

You can set the projector to automatically turn off the

rojector lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals for

0 minutes. This conserves electricity, cools the

rojector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you want to start projecting again,

ress the P Power button. If you are done using the

rojector, unplug the power cord. To enable sleep mode, see page 58.

Auto button

If you’re connected to a computer and the image doesn’t look right, press the

Auto button on the remote control or the Enter button on

the projector. This automatically resets the projector’s tracking, sync, resolution, and position settings.

If the

Auto button doesn’t correct the problem, you may need to

adjust the tracking or sync using the projector’s Signal menu. See page 50 for more information.

Shutting Down the Projector

When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible overheating.

1. Turn off any equipment plugged into the projector.

2. To turn off the projector, press the red P

remote control or projector.

Projector Installation

This appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a

permanent location, such as a theater or conference room.

The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:

Front projection Rear projection

Rear/ceiling projectionCeiling mounting

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting hardware; see page 11 for ordering information. You’ll also need to select

Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling as the Projection option of the

projector’s Extended menu to flip the image upside-down. To project from the rear, onto a semi-transparent screen, select

Rear/Ceiling (see page 58).

Rear or

If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above screen level, you’ll have to tilt the projector down to position the image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape. You can correct the distortion using the

Keystone function in the

projector’s menu system (see page 51).

If you place the projector so that the base of the lens is level with the bottom of the screen, the image should be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the bottom of the screen, you’ll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.

86 Technical Specifications

Notices

This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information

about your Epson PowerLite projector.

Important Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:

■ Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.

■ Do not use the projector near water or sources of heat.

■ Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you are not

sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.

■ Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily

unplugged.

Placez l’appareil près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.

■ Do not hold the plug with wet hands.

■ Take the following precautions for the plug. Failure to comply with

these precautions could result in sparks or fire: Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.

■ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles. This can cause fire or electric shock.

■ Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may

result in fraying or damage to the plug.

■ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp

cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

■ Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide

ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

■ Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. Never spill

liquid of any kind into the projector.

■ Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to

service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards.

■ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. If it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.

■ The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your

state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

■ Unplug the projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used

for extended periods.

■ Do not place the projector and/or remote control on top of

heat-producing equipment or in a hot location.

■ If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it,

use the correct power cord for that country.

■ Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.

■ Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range of 41

to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.

■ Do not store the projector outside of the required temperature range of

14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C) or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.

88 Notices

WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (Provided in accordance

with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.)

Remote Control Information

You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:

■ There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR

receiver on the projector.

■ Ambient light is too bright.

■ Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.

■ A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.

■ Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room

heater, is in the room.

These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following:

■ The remote control’s batteries may be low on power; replace them.

■ Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.

■ Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct

sunlight.

■ Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.

FCC Compliance Statement

For United States Users

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

Warranty

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty

Basic Two-Year Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Warranty

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser of the Epson product enclosed with this limited warranty statement that the product, if purchased new and operated in the United States or Canada, conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications and will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90 days for projector lamps). For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If you elect carry-in warranty service, please bring the product securely packaged in its original container or an equivalent, along with proof of the date of original purchase, to your Epson Dealer or Epson Customer Care Center. Epson will, at its option, repair or replace on an exchange basis the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. When warranty service involves the exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The exchanged product or part may be new or previously refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and at Epson’s option, the replacement may be another model of like kind and quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered product will not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product. Exchange or replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty period of the product covered by this limited warranty. However, each replacement lamp carries the limited 90-day warranty stated above.

92 Notices

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty does not apply to refurbished or reconditioned products. This warranty covers only normal consumer use in the United States and Canada. 24-hour-per-day use causes unusual strain and is not considered normal use. This warranty does not cover consumables (e.g., fuses), other than lamps. This warranty is not transferable. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in presenting your Epson product for carry-in warranty service are your responsibility. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred.

THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM ARE VOID. IN THE EVENT THE REMEDIES ABOVE FAIL, EPSON’S ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE PRICE PAID FOR THE EPSON PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY, NEITHER EPSON AMERICA, INC. NOR ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INCONVENIENCE, OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER RESULTING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

To locate the Authorized Epson Servicer nearest you, call the Epson Connection

at (800) 637-7661 + PIN or (562) 276-4394 in the U.S. and (905) 709-3839 in Canada or write to: Epson America, Inc., P.O. Box 93012, Long Beach, CA 90809-3012.
