Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

There are four ways to correct distortion in projected images as below.

Automatic correction

• Quick Setup Press the [Quick Setup] button to fit on the screen at an aspect ratio of 4:3.

• Auto V-Keystone Tilt the projector vertically to automatically correct distortion in the vertical direction.

Manual correction

"Quick Corner" and "H/V-Keystone" are provided for manual correction. These two methods cannot be applied at the same time.

• Quick Corner This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the projected image separately. Select "Settings" - "Keystone" - "Quick Corner" to use Quick Corner for correction.

• H/V-Keystone This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and vertical directions independently.

Automatically Correcting Distortion (Quick Setup)

Quick Setup automatically corrects distortion in the projected image, that occurs when the projector is installed at a tilt to the image projection surface, so that the image is projected at an aspect ratio of 4:3. In the case of a screen having an aspect ratio of 4:3, the projected image is corrected so that it fits perfectly in the screen. Refer to Quick Start Guide for how to do the operation. When the results of the correction performed by Quick Setup not completely satisfactory, perform fine adjustment using H/V-Keystone. s p.21 Here is how to fit the projected image within the screen.

The "Auto V-Keystone", "Quick Corner" and "H/V-Keystone" functions project a test pattern onto the screen to correct the projected image, so connection to a computer for preparing the projector is not required.

The status after correction by Quick Setup is stored in memory even after the projector is turned off. When the projector is installed at a fixed position for use, the projected image does not need to be corrected once Quick Setup has been performed.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

f Fitting projected image properly inside the screen

When Quick Setup detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen, whiteboard or blackboard.

When 3 or more sides

are detected

* When the projector is mounted from the ceiling, the image will be corrected

so that the bottom edge of the frame, such as the screen, fits inside the projection area.

When top and bottom sides, or 2

adjacent sides are detected

• Quick Setup can provide effective correction when the

borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as a white screen with black borders. When protecting images on a blackboard, for example, you should stick a large-sized sheet of white paper on the blackboard.

• Quick Setup can be used to carry out correction within the ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly. Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the

correction range will become narrower than the angles given below.

- When correcting to within a border Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 20°

- When projecting onto a surface without a border Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 15°

• Quick Setup sometimes does not function properly when the distance to the screen is 7.5 m or more. If this happens, carry out adjustments manually.

• The state of the projection surface (flexing, patterns and so on.) or external light sometimes prevent Quick Setup from functioning properly since it uses a sensor to perform correction. If this happens, carry out adjustments manually.

is detected

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

Adjust the position of the corner using the [h] button on the remote control.

If the screen below is displayed during the correction, this indicates that the correction amount limit has been reached.

To change the setting from Quick Corner to H/V-Keystone, press and hold the [Esc] button for about two seconds and display the following screen where you can make the change.

Reset Quick Corner: Resets the Quick Corner settings. Switch to H/V-Keystone: Switches the keystone correction method to H/V-Keystone. s p.45

To exit the correction, press the [Esc] button.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

f H/V-Keystone

To separately correct distortion in the H/V directions, perform correction using the [w], [v], [<], and [>] buttons on the projector itself. Correction can also be done by selecting "Setting" menu - "Keystone" "H/V Keystone" in the configuration menu. s p.45

Changing the Projected Image

You can change the projected image in the following two ways.

• Changing by Source Search The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected.

• Changing directly You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input port.

Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)

You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source Search] button.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)

You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are changing between files during presentations from a computer.

Procedure

Remote control Projector

• If you use this function when projecting moving images, the images and sound continue to be played back by the source, and you cannot return to the point where A/V Mute was activated.

• You can choose to display black, blue, or logo as the A/V mute display using the "Extended"-"Display"-"A/V

Mute" setting from the configuration menu.

• When the A/V mute slide is closed and A/V mute begins, the power supply can be set to automatically turn off after about 30 minutes by setting "Extended" - "Sleep Mode"

from the configuration menu.

p.47

p.46

Each time you press the button, or the A/V mute slide is opened or closed, A/V Mute turns on or off.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the freeze function is activated beforehand.

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.

Making a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Connection

When using a WPS-compatible access point, the settings for the connection between the projector and the access point can be made easily from the projector’s Configuration menu. Either of the "Push Button Method" or "PIN Code Method" setting methods can be used.

•Push Button Method Pressing both the [Enter] button on the projector and the button on the access point, causes the SSID and security settings to be made. Epson recommends the use of this method when the projector and access point are close together.

•PIN Code Method The SSID and security settings are enabled by inputting an 8-digit code from the computer to the access point, which is then displayed by the projector. The connection between the computer and the access point must have already been established. For details on how to make this connection, refer to the manual provided with the access point. This method lets you make the settings without having to press any buttons on the projector. Therefore, we recommend the use of this method when the projector is hung from the ceiling.

f Security Menu

Sub Menu Function

Security Select the security type from the items that are displayed.

When setting up security, follow the instructions from the administrator of the network system you are about to access.

Type of security

When connecting and communicating in wireless LAN mode, you can select one of the following encryption and authentication methods.

•WEP

Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key) This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.

•WPA/WPA2

This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are several kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses "TKIP WEP which uses a constant encryption key. WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.

•EAP

EAP is a protocol used for communication between clients and authentication severs. These are several protocols, such as EAP-TLS which uses electronic certification for user authentification, LEAP which uses user ID and password, and EAP-TTLS.

g". TKIP uses PSK to automatically update the encryption key at regular fixed intervals, which makes it harder to break compared to

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different 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 on the ceiling mount to prevent the 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 ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

Attention

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

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of the screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending

the projector from a ceiling.

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

"Front" Set "Rear" or "Rear/Ceiling" from the configuration menu.

"Front/Ceiling"

p.46

p.96

Cleaning

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

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface 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's 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 become discolored.

Cleaning the Lens

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. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Attention

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

Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent 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." s "How to replace the air filter" p.87

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air

filter.

• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

p.87

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the lamp, and the air filter.

Replacing the Remote Control Batteries

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. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two spare AAA-size alkali batteries ready to use when required.

Attention

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the batteries.

Procedure

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.

Safety Instructions

Replacing Consumables

f How to replace the lamp

Warning

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

Caution

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.

Procedure

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Wait until the lamp has cooled down, then remove the lamp cover.

Loosen the lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp or a + head screwdriver. Then slide the lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.

Replacing Consumables

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Take out the old lamp.

If the lamp is cracked, replace it with a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advice. If replacing the lamp yourself, be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass.

Install the new lamp.

Insert the new lamp along the guide rail in the correct direction so that it fits in place, push it down firmly, and once it is fully inserted tighten the two screws.

Glossary

This section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.

AMX Device Discovery AMX Device Discovery is a system setup technology developed by AMX Corporation. Using the AMX control system, devices to be

controlled in the system can be easily set up. Epson has adopted this technology's protocol, and has implemented a setting whereby this protocol's functions can be enabled (ON). For details, refer to the AMX website. URL http://www.amx.com/

Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for

standard images is 4:3.

Component video A video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.

Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (color difference signals).

Composite video Video signals that 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). The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (color) signal that are contained in the color bar are overlapped to form a single signal.

Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more

clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".

DHCP An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically assigns an IP addressg to equipment connected to

a network.

Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-

channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer.

Gateway address This is a server (router) for communicating across a network (subnet) divided according to subnet masksg. HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.

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

• Screen aspect ratio

• Dolby Digital

Interlace A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting from left

to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.

IP address A number to identify a computer connected to a network. 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 to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for

HDTV

g High-Definition Television.

Glossary

SNMP An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers

and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.

SNMP Trap IP address This is the IP addressg for the destination computer used for error notification in SNMP Squeeze mode In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording

medium as 4:3 images. When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.

sRGB An international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled

easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.

SSID SSID is an identification number for connecting with a counterpart on a wireless LAN. Wireless communication is possible between

devices that correspond to SSID.

Subnet mask This is a numerical value that defines the number of bits used for the network address on a divided network (subnet) from the IP address. SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ^ 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. S-video A video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.

Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (color signal).

SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ^ 1024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. Synchronization The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting

images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.

Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting

images are not 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 appear in the signal.

VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) ^ 480 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. WPS WPS is an abbreviation of "Wi-Fi Protected Setup". "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" has been devised by the Wi-Fi Alliance as a means of easily

setting up and securing a wireless LAN.

XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) ^ 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
