Features of the Projector

Advanced image quality adjustment functions

In addition to the preset color modes, you can easily adjust absolute color temperature and skin tones. Further, you can adjust gamma, the offset and gain for RGB colors, and the hue, saturation, and brightness of RGBCMY colors, to create colors that match the image.

Super-resolution

The super-resolution function allows you to enjoy DVD images at similar high resolutions to full high-definition images, and can also make areas of full high-definition images with low resolution (or which are out of focus) appear much more smooth and fresh.

Frame interpolation

The frame interpolation function compares each two successive images of a movie and generates intermediate images, so that you can enjoy viewing smooth, attractive moving images without the sense of image lag and blurriness of motion.

Other functions to enjoy images more

Some of the other many functions are available as follows.

HDMI link allows you to use the remote control to turn on the power for the projector and connected HDMICEC compatible audio and video devices at a time, or to control the devices. p.48 The memory function makes it easy to store your preferred color tone settings for projected images into memory, and to load them again. p.26 Remote control with backlight provides greater visibility and ease of operation in dark rooms. p.7 Auto iris function automatically recognizes changes in the brightness of images to produce natural feelings of depth and stereoscopic effect.

Set up so that the projector is parallel to the screen. If the projector is set up at an angle to the screen, distortion of the images will occur.

Lens shift adjustment

The lens shift can be used to position the image and the feature is especially useful under the following conditions. p.16

When the projector is suspended from the ceiling When the height of the projector does not match with that of the screen When the projector is set up to the side so that the screen can be viewed sitting right in front of it

When positioning an image using the lens shift dial, hardly any deterioration of the image occurs because the lens shift correction is adjusted optically. However, for optimal image quality the lens shift function should not be used.

Projection methods

If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, this projector should be installed by qualified technicians using only approved mounting equipment. If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents. Contact your dealer to carry out the installation work.

If you use a ceiling mount and apply adhesives to the mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector housing may crack and the projector may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting a ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.

Do not use the projector in places where there is a lot of humidity or dust, near cooking or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam. Do not use or store this projector outdoors for an extended length of time. Fire or electric shock may result.

Clean the air filter at least once every three months. Clean the air filter more frequently if using the projector in a dusty environment.

Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

When 4:3 images are projected, the images will be elongated horizontally.

• When a 4:3 image is projected, the top and bottom of the image are hidden from view. If this happens, the part of the image hidden from view at the top and bottom can be reduced in size in the vertical direction so that it can be viewed by "Zoom Size" in the Configuration menu.

• When images with subtitles are projected and the subtitles are truncated, use the "Zoom Caption Pos." menu command to adjust.

p.40

This is useful for when 4:3 images are projected onto a wide screen. Because there is almost no distortion due to enlargement in the middle of the images, the images appear close to what they would be at their original size. And because both ends of the images are enlarged, movement at the edges of the images appears faster and gives an impression of greater speed, making it ideal for viewing sporting events.

Set "Overscan" to "Off" (100% display). Images may not be properly projected if other than "Off" is selected.

Differences between equipment may result in a slight variation in the coloring when images are projected, and you may want to adjust this. (Projection will stop temporarily during such adjustment.) There are two methods of doing so. One is to select one of the gamma correction values [2.0], [2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4]. The other is customized adjustment, which is done with reference to the projected image or a gamma graph. The gamma graph's horizontal axis represents the input signal level and its vertical axis the output signal level. Adjustment is not possible when "Color Mode" is set to "x.v. Color".

Examining Image Quality Further

In addition to color adjustments, adjustments to advanced sharpness and the amount of light from the lamp can also be made to match the image in search of the best picture.

Sharpness (Advanced) adjustment

If "Thin Line Enhancement" is set in the + direction, hair and the detailed areas of clothing will be emphasized. If "Thick Line Enhancement" is set in the + direction, the areas emphasized by "Thin Line Enhancement" will be hardly emphasized. Instead, the rough areas of the entire subject, such as contour and background, will be emphasized, resulting in a sharp image.

Setting "Horiz. Line Enhancement" / "Vert. Line Enhancement" to the + side will enhance the image sharpness in the horizontal / vertical direction. Setting them to the - side will give a soft image.

This cannot be adjusted during input of computer image signals.

Examining Image Quality Further

Blurred edges or portions of images caused by upscaling images, such as images of SD source, to panel resolution (1080p) can be sharpened with the super-resolution processing. The larger the number, the stronger the effect.

For some images, interference at the edges may become visually-enhanced.

This cannot be adjusted during input of computer image signals.

Lens Iris

This adjusts the brightness by controlling the amount of light inside the projection lens. Unlike the Auto Iris function that automatically adjusts light intensity according to the images, you can manually change the amount of light, which is useful when viewing movies that have a lot of bright scenes.

Turn the power on for the devices.

If the image signals are only being output to the computer's LCD monitor, you need to change the output. For some computer models, when the image signals are output externally, they no longer appear on the LCD monitor.

Computer documentation, under a title such as "External output" or "Connecting an external monitor"

If the connection is made while the power is already turned on, the function [Fn] key that switches the computer's video signal to external output may not work. Turn the power for the projector and the computer off and then back on again. p.14

■ Images are fuzzy or out of focus

Problem Solving

Has the focus been adjusted correctly?

Is the lens cover still attached?

Is the projector at the correct distance?

Adjust the focus. p.16

Remove the lens cover.

The recommended distance from the projector to the screen is within 83 to 1210 cm for a screen size of 16:9, and 102 to 1482 cm for a screen size of 4:3. Set up the projector so that the projection distance is within this range.

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.

Do not use sprays containing a flammable gas to remove dirt or dust which is adhering to parts such as the lens or filter of the projector. Because the lamp inside the projector becomes very hot during use, the gases may ignite and result in a fire.

Cleaning the air filter

If the air filter becomes blocked with dust and the message "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter." is displayed, 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. It is recommended that you clean the air filter about once every three month. If using the projector in a dusty location, the air filter should be cleaned more often.

• The air filter is not washable. Also do not use detergent or solvents.

• When using a brush for cleaning, use a soft brush with long bristles and brush the

filter gently. If you brush too strong, dust may be pushed inside the air filter and hardly be removed.

Press the filter cover opening switch to remove the air filter cover.

The filter cover is on a string attached to the projector, so that it does not drop when you replace the air filter of the projector suspended from a ceiling.

Hold the tab of the air filter and remove the air filter.

Appendix

Maintenance

Tap the air filter four or five times with the surface facing downwards to shake off the dust.

Hold the filter at the other side and tap it again to shake off the dust.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any remaining dust from the surface of the air filter.

• Do not hit the air filter hard, otherwise it may become bent or broken and can no longer be used.

• Be careful not to damage the tab of the air filter when shaking off the dust.

Install the air filter.

Install the air filter cover.

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.

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

To clean the lens it is preferable to use an air blower purchased for the purpose. But alternatively you can wipe it gently clean with a spectacle-cleaning cloth.

Maintenance

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

Appendix

Maintenance

Consumable replacement periods

Air filter replacement period

• If the air filter has been broken or the "Replace" message is displayed even though the air filter has been cleaned.

Replace with an optional air filter.

Replacing the air filter p.69

Lamp replacement period

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

A message will be displayed.

• The projected images get darker or start to deteriorate.

• The replacement warning message is set to appear after a minimum of about 3900 hours of lamp use in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images. The time taken for the message to appear will vary depending on usage conditions such as Color Mode settings. 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.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

• Contact your local dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector Contact List.

Glossary

Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which were not explained in the manual itself. Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.

Aspect Ratio

The ratio between an image's length and its height. Wide screen refers to screens such as those for HDTV where the ratio between the width and the height is 16:9. The aspect ratio for SDTV and general computer screens is 4:3.

Component video

A method of separating images signals into luminance (Y), blue color difference (Cb or Pb) and red color difference (Cr or Pr) for video transmission.

HDMI

An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface, and refers to a standard for digital transmission of high-definition images and multi-channel audio signals.

HDMI digital equipment and computers that allows digital signals to be transmitted in their original high quality without compression, and it also includes a digital signal encryption function.

HDTV

is a standard that is targeted towards household

Composite video

A video transmission method conveying luminance and chrominance signals together in a single cable.

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 turn off the main power switch while cool-down is in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool-down 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 projector takes about 16 seconds to cool down. The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature.

HDCP

An abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, which is a type of copyright protection technology used for preventing unauthorized copying by encoding digital signals which are transmitted and received via DVI and HDMI ports. The HDMI input terminals of this projector are HDCP compatible, so that digital images which are protected by HDCP technology can be projected. However, if changes are made to the HDCP standard, it may no longer be possible to project digital images which have been protected by the new, changed standard.

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

• Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = progressive

• Screen aspect

• Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output)

Interlace

Displays an image by transmitting scan data for every other line from top to bottom. Because one frame is displayed in every other line, flickering may easily become visible.

NTSC

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

PA L

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

Progressive

Displays an image for one frame line by line from top to bottom all at once. Even though the scanning lines are the same as for interlace scanning, flickering is much less visible in images because twice as much information transmitted per unit time.

S-Video

A method of separating images signals into luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) for video transmission.

SDTV

, i = interlace )

of 16:9

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

SECAM

An abbreviation for Sequential Couleur A Memoire, and a format for ground-based analogue color 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.

SVGA

A screen resolution standard for 800(W) x 600(H) pixels.

SXGA

A screen resolution standard for 1280(W) x 1024(H) pixels.

Glossary

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 screen resolution standard for 640(W) x 480(H) pixels.

XGA

A screen resolution standard for 1024(W) x 768(H) pixels.

YCbCr

A component video signal for SDTV. Y indicates the luminance, and Cb and Cr indicate the color difference.

YPbPr

A component video signal for HDTV. Y indicates the luminance, and Pb and Pr indicate the color difference.
