Appendix Troubleshooting

Features of the Projector

The optimum images for the location can be projected simply by selecting the desired colour mode from the
following five preset modes. No complex colour adjustments are required.
If "Theatre", "Natural" or "sRGB " is selected, the Epson Cinema Filter effect is applied automatically to
increase the contrast and to make flesh tones appear with more natural tints. p.8

The Cinema Color Editor CD-ROM that
is included with the projector can be
used to make fine adjustments to the hue
and saturation of the projected images
from a computer.
Adjustment values can be saved in
computer files which can be exchanged
with other people so that they can also
see the results of the adjustments that
you have made.

Equipped with a wide-angle lens shift function

The lens shift function allows the position of the projected
images to be adjusted vertically and horizontally without
distorting the images.
This can allow the projector to be set up with greater
freedom, even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at an
angle to the screen. Setup Guide

Features of the Projector

Wide range of brightness adjustments

The image brightness can be adjusted within a wide range. The optimum images can be obtained even if using the
projector in a bright environment for watching videos or games, or in a dark environment such as when creating the
atmosphere of a home theatre. p.14

Electronic zoom and focus adjustment

The projector's control panel and the accessory remote control can be used for easy zoom and focus adjustments. An
adjustment screen is displayed so that adjustment is possible even when no video equipment is connected. For zoom
adjustment, a high magnification lens is provided to allow images to be increased in size by up to 1.5 times, so that
images can be projected onto an 80" screen even at a distance of approximately 2.5 m. Setup Guide

A variety of image setting functions

Some of the other many functions that are available are as follows.

A progressive conversion that lets you obtain ideal results both for images with large amounts of movement and for
still images. p.18
An aspect function that allows images to be viewed in wide-screen format. p.8
Memory functions that allow adjustment results to be stored and later retrieved easily using the remote control. p.12
Lock settings that can be used to lock the projector's control panel after adjustments have been made so that they
cannot be changed by mistake, or to prevent children from accidentally turning on the power and looking into the
lens. p.20

Images are fuzzy or out of focus

Problem Solving

Has the focus been adjusted
correctly?

Is the lens cover still attached? Remove the lens cover.

Is the projector at the correct
distance?

Is the keystone adjustment
value too large?

Has condensation formed on
the lens?

Adjust the focus.

The recommended distance from the projector to the screen is within
87–1365 cm (2.9–44.8 ft.) for a screen size of 16:9, and 108–1672 cm
(3.6–54.9 ft.) for a screen size of 4:3. Set up the projector so that the
projection distance is within this range.

Decrease the projection angle to reduce the amount of keystone
correction.

If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a warm
environment or if sudden ambient temperature changes occur,
condensation may form on the surface of the lens, and this may cause
the images to appear fuzzy. Set the projector up in the room
approximately one hour before it is to be used. If condensation forms on
the lens, turn the power off and wait for the condensation to disappear.

Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to
deteriorate.

Be sure to read the separate
safe handling of the projector during cleaning.

Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms

Cleaning the Air Filter

If the airfilter becomes blocked with dust and the message
"The projector is overheating. Clean or replace the air filter
and lower the room temperature" is displayed, clean the air
filter.
Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to
clean the air filter.

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can result in
overheating which may cause operating problems or
reduce the operating life of the optical parts.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with

water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and
then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the
projector case. Then wipe the case again with a soft, dry cloth.

booklet for details on

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or
thinner to clean the projector case. These can cause
the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens
cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the
lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

"Appendix: Optional Accessories" p.40

Lamp Replacement Period

•

The message "Replace the lamp." appears on the screen when projection starts.

Maintenance

A message will be displayed.

•

The projected images get darker or start to deteriorate.

•

In order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images, a lamp
replacement warning message will be displayed after approximately 1600 hours
depending on the conditions that the lamp has been used under.
If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking
becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp
with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

•

The actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the
lamp and on the way it has been used. The lamp may start to become dark or stop
turning on even before the lamp replacement message appears. You should always
have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

•

Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Video signals which have the video brightness signals and
color signals separated, in order to provide better image
quality.
In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which
consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal),
and Pb and Pr (color difference signals).

Composite video

Video signals which have the video brightness signals and
color signals mixed together. The type of signals
commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC
PAL

and SECAM formats).
Video signals which consist of a carrier signal Y
(luminance signal) within the color bar signal, and a
chroma or color signal (CbCr).

Contrast

The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an
image can be increased or decreased in order to make text
and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them
appear softer.

Cool-down

This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled
down after it has become hot through use. It is carried out
automatically when the [Power] button on either the
remote control or the projector's control panel has been
pressed to turn off the projector. Do not disconnect the
power cable while cool-down is in progress, otherwise the
cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool­down period is not allowed to finish normally, the
projector's lamp and internal components will remain at
high temperatures, and this may shorten the useful life of
the lamp or cause problems with the operation of the
projector. The cool-down period lasts for about 5 minutes.
The actual time will vary depending on the external air
temperature.

Gain

The adjustment of minute changes in color that occur as
result of factors such as differences in the equipment used
to display images. It adjusts the coloration in brighter
ranges separately for R, G and B components.

Gamma

The adjustment of minute changes in color that occur as
result of factors such as differences in the equipment used
to display images. It adjusts the coloration in intermediate
ranges separately for R, G and B components.

HDTV

An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to
high-definition systems which satisfy the following
conditions.

• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater
(p = progressive

• Screen aspect

• Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output)

Interlace

A method of image scanning whereby the signal
bandwidth used is approximately half that required for
sequential scanning when images with the same still
picture resolution are broadcast.

NTSC

An abbreviation for National Television Standards
Committee, and a format for ground-based analogue
colour television broadcasts. This format is used in Japan,
North America and Central and South America.

Offset

The adjustment of minute changes in color that occur as

,

result of factors such as differences in the equipment used
to display images. It adjusts the coloration in darker ranges
separately for R, G and B components.

PA L

An abbreviation for Phase Alternation by Line, and a
format for ground-based analogue colour television
broadcasts. This format is used in Western European
countries except France, and also in Asian countries such
as China and in Africa.

Progressive

A method of image scanning whereby the image data from
a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom
to create a single image.

Refresh rate

The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same
luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because
of this, the image must be scanned many times per second
in order to refresh the light emitting element. The number
of refresh operations per second is called the "refresh rate",
and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

S-Video

A video signal which has the luminance component and
color component separated in order to provide better image
quality.
It refers to images which consist of two independent
signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (color signal).

SDTV

An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It
refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy
the conditions for HDTV

, i = interlaced )

of 16:9

Glossary

SECAM

An abbreviation for Sequential Couleur A Memoire, and a
format for ground-based analogue colour television
broadcasts. This format is used in France, Eastern Europe
and the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Africa.

Security lock

A device consisting of a protector case with a hole in it that
a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be
passed through in order to secure the device to a table or
pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver
Security System manufactured by Kensington.

sRGB

An international standard for color intervals that was
formulated so that colors which are reproduced by video
equipment can be handled easily by computer operating
systems (OS) and the Internet.

SVGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 800
(horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM
PC/ AT-compatible computers.

SXGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 1280
(horizontal) x 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM
PC/ AT-compatible computers.

YPbPr

The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal
used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The
name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr
(color difference) signals.

Sync. (Synchronization)

The signals output from computers have a specific
frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this
frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good
quality. The process of matching the phases of these
signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the
signal) is called "synchronization". If the signals are not
synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and
horizontal interference can occur.

Tracking

The signals output from computers have a specific
frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this
frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good
quality. The process of matching the frequency of these
signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called
"tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide
vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.

VGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 640
(horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM
PC/ AT-compatible computers.

XGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 1,024
(horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM
PC/ AT-compatible computers.

46

YCbCr

The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal
used in modern TV transmissions. The name comes from
the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma [color])
signals.
