Conforms to Wireless Transmissions for the WirelessHD Standards (EH-TW9100W/EH­TW8100W Only)
The projector can wirelessly receive data for images from WirelessHD compatible AV devices. You do not need to connect a cable directly to the main projector unit. You can connect up to five AV devices to the WirelessHD Transmitter at the same time, and switch images using the remote control. You can also connect other output devices such as televisions, and switch the device. This allows other output
s
devices to project images from the connected AV device, even if the projector is off.

Other Useful Functions

In addition, the following useful functions are provided.
The remote control contains a backlight function allowing for easy use even in dark rooms. Operations are also
simplified by only pressing the
Lens shift allows you to adjust the projection position when the projector cannot be setup directly in front of the screen. The ability to move the projection position up, down, left, and right from in front of the screen without changing the projection range, gives you more freedom to place the projector where you want.
The Frame Interpolation function creates an intermediary image between one frame and the next rendering a smoother, cleaner viewing experience, and removing jarring movements such as frame skipping.
The Super-resolution function allows you to enjoy DVDs in high resolution. Also, low resolution areas (parts that are blurred) of full hi-vision images become smoother and sharper.

Installing

Various Projection Methods

Warning
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the projector.
Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.
Attention
Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image (Lens Shift)

If the projector cannot be setup in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the image by using lens shift.
Make adjustments using the lens shift dial.
You can adjust the position up, down, left, and right within the range of the dotted line shown in the illus­tration on the right.
The vertical (V) position (up and down) can be adjusted by up to 96% of the height of the screen, while the hor­izontal (H) position (right and left) can be adjusted by up to 47% of the width of the screen.
To reset the image position to the center, return the dial to the central position.
To locate the center of the lens shift range, turn the lens shift dial until you hear it click.
Caution
When transporting the projector, return the lens to the central position. If you transport the projector when the lens is shifted up, down, left, or right, the lens shift mechanism could be damaged.
If keystone distortion occurs when projecting at an angle by using lens shift, you may not be able

Warnings Regarding Viewing 3D Images

Note the following important points when viewing 3D images.
Warning
Disassembling or remodeling
Do not disassemble or remodel the 3D Glasses. This could cause a fire to occur or the images to appear abnormal when viewing, causing you to feel unwell.
Storage locations
Do not leave the 3D Glasses or the supplied parts within reach of children. They could be accidentally swallowed. If anything is accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
Wireless (Bluetooth) communication
Electromagnetic interference may cause medical equipment to malfunction. Before using the device, make sure there is no medical equipment in the vicinity.
Electromagnetic interference may cause automatically controlled equipment to malfunction which could cause an accident. Do not use the device near automatically controlled equipment such as automatic doors or fire alarms.
Heating
Do not place the 3D Glasses in a fire, on a heat source, or leave them unattended in a location subject to high temperatures. Because this device has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, it could cause burns or a fire if it ignites or explodes.
Charging
When charging, connect the supplied cable to the USB port designated by Epson. Do not charge using other devices as it may cause the battery to leak, overheat, or explode.
Only use the supplied charging cable to charge the 3D Glasses. Otherwise, it could overheat, ignite, or explode.
Caution
3D Glasses
Do not drop or press too forcefully on the 3D Glasses. If the glass sections and so on are broken, an injury could occur. Store the glasses in the soft glasses case supplied.
Be careful of the edges of the frame when wearing the 3D Glasses. If it pokes your eye and so on, an injury could occur.
Do not place your finger in any of the moving sections (such as the hinges) of the 3D Glasses. Otherwise an injury could occur.
When disposing of the 3D Glasses, see the User's Guide for the 3D Glasses.

Useful Functions
Caution
Wearing 3D Glasses
Make sure you wear the 3D Glasses correctly. Do not wear the 3D Glasses upside down. If the image is not displayed correctly into the right and left eyes, it could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not wear the glasses unless you are viewing a 3D image.
How a 3D image is perceived varies depending on the individual. Stop using the 3D function if you feel strange or cannot see in 3D. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses immediately if they seem abnormal or a malfunction occurs. Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause an injury or cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your ears, nose, or temples become red, painful, or itchy. Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your skin feels unusual when wearing the glasses. In some very rare cases the paint or materials used in the 3D Glasses could cause an allergic reaction.
Caution
Viewing Time
When viewing 3D images, always take periodic breaks during extended viewing. Long periods of viewing 3D images may cause eye fatigue. The amount of time and frequency of such breaks varies from person to person. If your eyes still feel tired or uncomfortable even after taking a break from viewing, stop viewing immediately.
Caution
Watching 3D Images
If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop viewing immediately. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt to view 3D images without 3D Glasses. Doing so could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D Glasses. 3D images may cause you to move your body involuntarily, resulting in damage to nearby items or personal injury.
Only wear 3D Glasses when viewing 3D images. Do not move around while wearing 3D Glasses. Your vision may appear darker than normal, causing you to fall or injure yourself.
Try to stay as level with the viewing screen as possible when viewing 3D images. Viewing 3D images at an angle reduces the 3D effect and may cause you to feel unwell due to unintended color changes.
If using 3D Glasses in a room with fluorescent or LED lighting, you may see flashing or flickering throughout the room. If this should occur, reduce the lighting until the flickering goes away or turn off the lights completely when viewing 3D images. In some very rare cases, this flickering could trigger seizures or fainting for some individuals. If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell at any time when viewing 3D images, stop immediately.
Stay at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when viewing 3D images. The recommended viewing distance for an 80-inch screen is at least 3 meters, and at least 3.6 meters for a 100-inch screen. Sitting or standing any closer than the recommended viewing distance may result in eye fatigue.

Children under the age of six are still developing and viewing 3D images may cause complications. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Children viewing 3D images through 3D Glasses should always be accompanied by an adult. It is often difficult to tell when a child is feeling tired or uncomfortable, which could result in them feeling suddenly unwell. Always check with your child to ensure that they are not experiencing any eye fatigue during viewing.

Maintenance

Maintenance

Cleaning the Parts

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the projector's lens, air filter, and so on. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.
Cleaning the air filter
Clean the air filter if dust has accumulated on the air filter or when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. It is recommended that you clean the air filter at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
Lightly brush the air filter to clean it. If it is brushed too strongly, dust will be ground into the air filter and cannot be removed.
a
b
Press the button on the remote control or the control panel to turn off the power, turn off the main power switch, and then disconnect the power cable.
Remove the air filter cover.
Hook your finger into the tab on the air filter cover, and remove it from the lens side.
c
Remove the air filter.
Grip the knob in the center of the air filter and pull it straight out.
90
Page 92
Maintenance
d
Hold the air filter with the surface facing down and tap it 4 or 5 times to remove the dust.
Turn it over and tap the other side in the same way.
Attention
If the air filter is hit too hard, it may become unusable due to deformities and cracks.
f
g
Install the air filter.
Grip the air filter by the knob in the center and insert it at an angle.
Install the air filter cover.
Secure the tab on the outside first, and then secure the tab on the lens side.
Remove any dust remaining on the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner from
e
the front side.
Cleaning the main unit
Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If it 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 surface.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or the paint may peel off.
91
Page 93
Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe off dirt from the lens.
Manually open the lens shutter, and then wipe the lens inside.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or handle the lens too roughly as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the 3D Glasses
Use the cloth supplied to gently wipe off dirt from the lenses of the 3D Glasses.
Attention
Do not rub the lenses of the glasses with harsh materials or
handle the lenses too roughly as they can easily become damaged. When maintenance is necessary, disconnect the USB Charg-
ing Adapter from the electrical outlet, and check that all ca­bles have been disconnected.

Replacement Periods for Consumables

Air filter replacement period
If the message is displayed even though the air filter has been cleaneds p.90
Lamp replacement period
The following message is displayed when projection starts
"It is time to replace your lamp. Please contact your Epson projector reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase."
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
c
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after 3900 H in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images. The message display time changes depending on the usage situation, such as the color mode setting and so on. If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. 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 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 unit ready in case it is needed.
