Introduction

Your EPSON EMP series projector is a compact, lightweight projector that lets you project XGA(EMP-7500) or SVGA(EMP-5550/5500) full-color images and video onto a large screen for presentations. The projector can connect simultaneously to two image sources: one PC or Apple® Macintosh® computer image sources plus one video source such as a video tape deck, camcorder, or digital camera. Audio can also be connected for each image source.

Images are displayed in true XGA and SVGA full color (16,670,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 × 768(EMP7500) and 800 × 600(EMP-5550/5500) pixels. Your projector produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes. Audio can be produced from the projector’s 1W+1W stereo, which employ a built-in SRS 3D sound® for output that is rich and powerful. You can also connect an external speaker when further amplification is required.

A totally new AVTSS™ (Automatic Video Tracking and Synchronization Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic set-up of image from a computer for quick and easy projection of beautiful images every time.

You can control your projector through a hand-held remote control unit, with menus being provided for image source switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also act as a wireless mouse to control mouse operations on your
