Positioning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
3 and 34 feet (PowerLite 77c) or between 3 and 39 feet
(PowerLite S5) from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of
loose papers that could block the vent under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.
The projector supports 4 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is
installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the
correct projection option from the Extended menu after you
turn it on.

Image Size and Projection Distance
The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. The
diagrams show approximately how big your image will be, based
on where you set up the projector. Because other adjustments—
such as those made with the zoom ring—also affect the size of
the image, the numbers shown in the illustration should be
considered as general guidelines, not exact measurements.
PowerLite S5 Series
Turning On the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below.
If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment
before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects
and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first,
or have multiple pieces of equipment connected, you may have
to select the image source manually. See “Adjusting the Image
and Presentation” on page 7.
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Open the
A/V Mute slide (lens cover).

Using the Remote Control
The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. It lets
you access the projector’s features from anywhere in the room—
up to 20 feet away. (This distance may be shorter if the remote
control batteries are low.)
The projector may not respond to remote control commands in
these conditions:
❏ You are too far away—not within 20 feet (6 meters)—or
not within 30° to the left or right of the front or rear sensor
or 15° above or below it
❏ The battery is weak or not installed correctly
❏ Ambient light is too bright
❏ A fluorescent light is shining into the infrared receiver
❏ A strong light source (such as direct sunlight) shines into the
infrared receiver
❏ Other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such
as a radiant room heater)
❏ If a button on the remote control has been held for more
than 30 seconds, the remote enters sleep mode. Press
another button for normal operation.

Replacing Remote Control Batteries
When the batteries run out, follow the steps below to replace
them. The remote requires two AA alkaline batteries.
Note:
The remote control automatically shuts off when it detects a button
being pressed for more than 30 seconds. This conserves battery life.
It can be helpful, for example, when the remote is in a carrying case
and the
Caution:

2. Remove the old batteries, then insert the new ones as
shown.
3. Replace the battery cover. Make sure it clicks into place.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
❏ Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
❏ To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner
and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution:
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens; this will damage the lens
coating.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best
performance. If dust collects on the air filter or vent on the
bottom of the projector, clean them as described below. Dust
clogs prevent proper ventilation and can cause overheating and
damage the projector.
When the filter and vent are clogged, the projector displays the
message

the power cord.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the projector case, turn off the projector and
unplug the power cord.
❏ To remove dirt or dust, wipe the outside with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth.
❏ To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with
water and a mild detergent. Then wipe the case.
Caution:
Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other
chemicals. These can damage the case.
2. To clean the filter and vent, Epson recommends using a
small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other
office equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean them
using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s paintbrush).
You can remove the air filter to clean both sides.

(in high brightness mode) or 4000 hours (in low brightness
mode). It is time to replace the lamp when:
❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏ The lamp light is flashing orange.
