EPSON PowerLite 7800p Projector

Positioning the Projector

Follow these guideline when deciding where to place the projector:

❏ 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 it 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.

Image size increases with distance, but varies depending on how you’ve adjusted the optical zoom and other settings.

TBD

2.5 to 3.5 ft5.3 to 7.2ft27 to 36.5 ft approx. distance from 60” screen

It’s best to place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. If it isn’t placed this way, the image will be “keystone” shaped, instead of rectangular.

Note: The formulas given here are for when the projector is placed flat, without tilting it up at the screen. If you tilt it up by extending the feet or use electronic keystone correction, your image size may vary.

Standard Lens

To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when you know the projection distance:

❏ Maximum diagonal size =

(((2.54

projection distance) / 100)

36) + 2.13

❏ Minimum diagonal size =

(((2.54

projection distance) / 100)

26.84) + 1.29

To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you know the diagonal size of the screen image:

❏ Maximum projection distance =

(((diagonal size – 1.29) / 26.84)

100 / 2.54

❏ Minimum projection distance =

(((diagonal size – 2.13) / 36)

Middle Throw Lens (V12H004M03)

100 / 2.54

To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when you know the projection distance:

❏ Maximum diagonal size =

(((2.54

projection distance ) / 100)

27.42) + 1.49

Minimum diagonal size = (((2.54

projection distance) / 100)

20.48) + 1.1

To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you know the diagonal size of the screen image:

Screen

Projector

Overhead View

If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This also causes the image to lose its rectangular shape. To correct distortion, see “Adjusting the Image Shape” on page 8.

Calculating Image Size and Projection Distance

Use the formulas below either to find out how large your image will be when you know the distance from the projector to the screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place the projector if you want an image of a certain size. Since the size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring, formulas are given for calculating both the minimum and maximum sizes.

❏ Maximum projection distance =

(((diagonal size – 1.1) / 20.48)

100 / 2.54

❏ Minimum projection distance =

(((diagonal size – 1.49) / 27.42)

Long Throw Zoom Lens (V12H004L05)

100 / 2.54

To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when you know the projection distance:

❏ Maximum diagonal size =

(((2.54

projection distance) / 100)

× 20.4

) + 1.93

❏ Minimum diagonal size =

(((2.54

projection distance) / 100)

15.23) + 1.45

To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you know the diagonal size of the screen image:

❏ Maximum projection distance =

(((diagonal size – 1.45) / 15.23)

100 / 2.54

❏ Minimum projection distance =

(((diagonal size – 1.93) / 20.54)

Adjusting the Image Shape

In most cases, you can maintain a 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 40° up or down), the projector’s automatic keystone correction function detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.

Corrected imageProjector tilted up Projector tilted down

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.

If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using either of these methods:

❏ If the image has two parallel

sides but is wider on the top, bottom, left, or right, you can correct it using the

Keystone keys on the

projector’s control panel or the Keystone menu (see “Using Keystone Correction” below).

❏ If the image is trapezoid-

shaped (no two sides are parallel), you can adjust its shape using Quick Corner

Projecting Images Without a Screen

Even if you don’t have a screen, you can project images onto surfaces like blackboards and colored walls without loss of image color. Your projector has a sensor that measures the conditions of the projection surface and automatically adjusts the colors and shading of your image. For example, if you’re projecting onto a surface near a window, your image appears clear and well-defined rather than faint.

Making Initial Color Corrections

Press the Wall Shot button on either the remote control or the projector’s control panel while projecting an image.

Wall Shot’s status appears in the upper right corner of your screen. Then you see a sequence of colors flash for approximately five seconds while the sensor measures the conditions of the projection surface and adjusts the image.

Enabling Password Protection

To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can assign it a password. If you do, a screen appears requesting the password whenever the projector is plugged in and turned on. If an incorrect password is entered three times in succession, the projector’s operation is locked and the power cord must be disconnected and reinserted to redisplay the password screen.

Note: If three attempts like this are made (an incorrect password is entered nine times in succession), the projector remains locked and you must contact the dealer to unlock it. Therefore, it’s a good idea to write your password down. Also, make a note of the “Request Code: xxxxx” number that appears in the Password Protect Release screen. If you do forget the password, you’ll need this code when you contact the dealer.

If you leave the projector plugged in (after turning if off), the projector does not ask for the password each time you turn it on. You need to enter the password only after unplugging and reconnecting the power cable.

The default setting for the password function is off. Follow these steps to turn password protection on:

1. Press the five seconds. You see this screen:

Shutting Down the Projector

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

Note: When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters sleep mode. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the P

Power button.

You can turn off sleep mode using the Setting menu. If

Standby Mode has been set to Network ON

(in the Advanced1 menu), the lamp turns off but the projector does not go into full sleep mode. (It provides enough operation to allow network access.)

Using the Remote Control

The remote control lets you access your projector’s features from anywhere in the room (up to 30 feet away).

If the projector does not respond to the remote control, make sure batteries are installed and the switch on its side is turned on. Also make sure the projector ID and remote control ID match. (See “Controlling Multiple Projectors” on page 12.)

The projector also might not respond if:

❏ The batteries are weak ❏ You’re standing at too great a distance from the projector ❏ Ambient light is too bright ❏ A certain type of fluorescent light is present ❏ A strong light source (such as direct sunlight) shines into

the infrared receiver

❏ Other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such

Transporting the Projector

The projector contains many glass and precision parts. Follow these guidelines to prevent injury or damage when transporting it:

❏ When hand-carrying the projector, you should use the

handle to carry it only a short distance (for example, to set it on a table).

❏ 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 a long distance, first place

it in a hard-shell shipping case, and then pack it in a firm box, placing cushioning around the case. (An optional ATA shipping case is available from EPSON; see the following table.)

Note: EPSON shall not be liable for any damages incurred during transportation.
