Features of the Projector

Images can be projected regardless of the location.

• The keystone distortion that occurs as a result of the projector being tilted using the front adjustable foot can be corrected. (Automatic keystone correction

p.46)

• The keystone distortion that occurs when projecting from the side of the screen can also be corrected. (Vertical correction and horizontal correction p.47)

• If vertical keystone correction causes the height of projected images to be too short, the height of the projection area can also be adjusted. (Height correction

p.48)

• The Quick Corner function can be used to correct the four corners of the projection area to make the images fit the screen exactly.

p.49

Images can be projected in places without a screen with no loss of original colour. This automatically adjusts image colours to their natural colours even when projecting onto surfaces such as blackboards and partitions. p.51

When something goes wrong with the projector, such as lamp blowing during projection, the projector can notify you of the error via e-mail.

In addition, if you are using EMP-7950, EasyMP allows you to;

• Make easy network connection with a computer via a wireless LAN.

• Project a computer's image over a network.

For instructions on how to use EasyMP, refer to EasyMP Network Setup

Guide and EasyMP Operation Guide.

CAUTION

Be sure to read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the batteries.

Rib

TIP

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. If this happens, replace the batteries with two new AA alkali batteries.

Before Using the Remote Control

Inserting the Batteries

The batteries are not already inserted into the remote control at the time the projector is purchased. You will need to insert the batteries that are provided with the projector before the remote control can be used.

PROCEDURE

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing down on the rib of the battery cover, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

Insert the batteries.

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

Replace the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover in until the tab clicks into place.

Before Using the Remote Control

Using the Remote Control and Remote Operating Range

Using the Remote Control

The remote control is used in the following way.

PROCEDURE

Set the [R/C] switch of the remote control to "ON".

Point the remote control light-emitting area towards one of the remote control light-receiving areas on the projector and operate the remote control buttons.

TIP

• Do not allow sunlight or light from fluorescent lamps to shine directly onto the projector's remote control light-receiving areas, otherwise it may interfere with the reception of signals from the remote control.

• When not using the remote control, set the [R/C] switch on the remote control to "OFF". If you leave the [R/C] switch at "ON", it will consume battery power.

• If a button on the remote control is pressed down for more than 1 minute while the [R/C] switch is at "ON", the signal for that button operation will stop being transmitted (the remote control will change to sleep mode). The purpose of this is to prevent the batteries from being consumed due to something being placed on top of the remote control. When the button is released, normal remote control operation will resume.

Adjusting the Screen Image

Manually Correcting Keystone Distortion

This projector is equipped with an automatic keystone correction function that detects the vertical angle of the projector during projection and automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. If you would like to make further fine adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, or if the projector is tilted horizontally, you can carry out keystone correction manually.

This projector is equipped with the following two keystone correction functions. Use whichever function is appropriate for the keystone distortion that appears.

• Auto Keystone/H/V-Keystone Automatic keystone automatically corrects keystone distortion when the projected images are vertically distorted. H/V-Keystone can be used to make fine adjustments to the results of automatic keystone correction and to correct horizontal keystone distortion. The keystone correction function lets you easily correct keystone distortion that has occurred after moving the projector, simply by using buttons on the projector's control panel. See "Automatic keystone correction" p.46

Page 47

User’s Guide

TIP

• The "Auto Keystone", "H/V-Keystone" and "Quick Corner" functions cannot both be used together to correct keystone distortion. If you use one function to correct keystone distortion, any correction that has been applied using the other function will be cancelled.

• The larger the angle of tilt, the poorer the focus of the contours in the projected images will become.

• If a large amount of keystone correction is applied, fine details such as text characters and lines may go out of focus.

• Keystone corrections that have been applied using the keystone correction functions are memorised even when the projector's power is turned off. If you have changed the projection position or angle, you will need to repeat the correction procedure.

• "H-Keystone" and "Height" cannot be used at the same time.

• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected images will become smaller. Use the zoom function to adjust the size of the images if necessary. p.42

• If the text part of the image is blurred after keystone correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting. p.78, p.81

TIP

• Automatic keystone correction is not carried out if "Rear Proj." or "Ceiling" in the "Advanced1" menu is set to "ON", or if the projection area has been corrected manually using the "Quick Corner" function.

• If you would like to make further fine adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, or if the projector is tilted horizontally, you can carry out keystone correction manually.

p.47

• If you do not want automatic keystone correction to be carried out, change the "Auto Keystone" setting in the "H/V-Keystone" submenu of the "Keystone" command in the "Setting" menu to "OFF".

p.85

Adjusting the Screen Image

Automatic keystone correction

When the projector has been tilted vertically, automatic keystone correction is carried out so that images with no distortion are projected.

Automatic keystone correction is carried out approximately one second after the projector is set up and projection starts. A vertical keystone correction gauge appears on the screen while automatic adjustment is in progress.

TIP

Wall Shot can be used for adjustment if the projection distance is within approximately 80–1000 cm (2.6–32.8 ft.). However, this distance will vary depending on the condition of the projected surface, for instance if the projection surface is an extremely reflective surface such as a whiteboard, or if it is a highly non-reflective surface such as a dark wall.

Remote control

Adjusting the Image Quality

The quality of the projected images can be adjusted as follows.

Projecting Easy-to-see Images Without a Screen (Wall Shot)

When the Wall Shot function is used, images can be projected without loss of original colour even onto surfaces such as blackboards and coloured wall surfaces which are being used instead of a screen. For example, if projecting onto a green blackboard, the projected images would normally appear greenish and be very difficult to see. The Wall Shot function uses a sensor to measure the condition of the projection surface and automatically adjusts the colour of the projected images based on these measurements. The Wall Shot function also allows shading to be adjusted. If projecting onto a screen that is located near a window, the Wall Shot function can be used to obtain clear images when they might otherwise appear faded.

PROCEDURE

The Wall Shot function can be operated using either the remote control or the projector's control panel.

Press the [Wall Shot] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel while the images are being projected.

When the button is pressed, the current status is displayed on the screen.

Page 53

User’s Guide

• When the projector's power is turned off, images will be projected next time with the status set to "Wall Shot OFF". However, the correction values that were obtained by the previous measurement operation will be stored even when the power is turned off. If projecting in the same location as before, you can retrieve the colour correction values that were used previously (the five seconds required for readjustment will not be necessary). The status will change as follows each time the [Wall Shot] button is pressed.

When "Wall Shot retrieval" is selected, the previous adjustment values are retrieved.

• If you change the projection location or change the condition of the projection surface, you should repeat the Wall Shot measurements. If you press the [Wall Shot] button twice while "Wall Shot ON" is being displayed, "Wall Shot Readjustment" will be displayed and adjustment will then start.

Adjusting the Image Quality

To change the status, press the [Wall Shot] button while the status is being displayed on the screen.

For example, if you press the [Wall Shot] button while "Wall Shot OFF" is displayed, the status will change to "Wall Shot ON" and measurement of the projection surface will start.

Colours in the order red → green → blue → black will be projected for approximately five seconds while measurement is in progress.

Wall Shot ON

Once the measurement is finished and colour correction is complete, the images will be projected in the corrected condition.

To cancel the correction, press the [Wall Shot] button while "Wall Shot ON" is being displayed on the screen so that "Wall Shot OFF" is selected.

TIP

The network functions differ for the EMP-7950 and the EMP-7900. The following descriptions apply to the EMP-7900. If using the EMP7950, refer to the EasyMP Network Setup Guide and the EasyMP

Operation Guide.

Monitoring and Controlling Projectors via a Network (for the EMP-7900)

You can monitor the status of the projector and control operations such as turning the power on and off from a computer via a network.

Available Network Functions for the EMP-7900

The EMP-7900 is compatible with SNMPg. In addition, you can use the software that is included with the projector for centralised control of projectors and to receive notifications of problems via e-mail.

• EMP Monitor

This software is used to monitor the status of multiple projectors that are connected to a network by means of a list on the computer screen, and to control the projectors all at once by carrying out operations such as turning the power for the projectors on or off. It allows multiple projectors on a network to be monitored and controlled by a single operator.

• EMP NetworkManager

This program lets you make network settings for projectors from configuration menus using a remote control. However, you can use the keyboard of a computer for direct address entry when using EMP NetworkManager, so that network settings can be carried out easily. In addition, EMP NetworkManager can be used to make settings for the mail notification function, so that notifications of problems with projector operation can be sent via e-mail to preset e-mail addresses when such problems occur.

Monitoring Function Using SNMP and the SNMP Manager Program

You can use SNMP to monitor and control the status of the projector from a computer. The management functions that are available when using SNMP require SNMP manager program to be installed on the computer. Because of this, management using SNMP should always be carried out by somebody who is familiar with computer networks such as a network administrator.

Monitoring and Control Functions Using the Accessory Software

The Projector Software CD-ROM supplied with the projector contains the following two software programs. These programs can be used to carry out the following network monitoring and control tasks.

Carry out the following operations in the order listed in order to set up monitoring and control of projectors via a network.

1.Use the Projector Software CD-ROM to install the software to be used into the computer. p.99

2.Connect the projector to the network using the a network cable.

p.101

3. Use the projector's configuration menus to make the required network settings. p.101

4.Use the computer to monitor and control the projector.
