he compact, lightweight EPSON EMP-7300 Projector
allows you to project XGA full-color images and video onto a
large screen for presentations. The projector can connect
simultaneously to three image sources: two PC or Apple®
Macintosh® computer image sources plus on 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 XGA compatible full color
(16,670,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The
projector produces bright images that can be easily seen in
rooms with enough light to take notes. Audio can be
produced from the projector’s 3+3W speakers, which employ
a built-in 3D sound® for output that is rich and powerful. An
external speaker can also be connected when further
amplification is required.

Getting the Most Out of Your Projector

The projector comes with a full set of features that allow you
to control the settings for the image display, video and audio.
To get the most out of your projector read this section for a
quick summary of the important features.

Remote control

The buttons on the remote control allow you to turn the
projector on and off, an provide direct access to auto set-up,
blank, freeze, volume, mute and image source switching.
Remote control buttons can also be used for custom functions
and to access the projector’s menu system. The remote
control can even be used instead of your computer’s mouse to
control your computer.

Sleep mode

The sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning
off the lamp if the projector does not receive video input
signal for specified period (default is 30 minutes). In the sleep
mode, the projector remains on but the lamp is turned off,
conserving electricity, cooling the projector and extending the
life of the lamp.

Use the Power button to turn the projector on and off.

Connecting to a Video Source

You can use this connection procedure to connect a video
tape deck, a camcorder, a laser disc player or any other
compatible video image source to the projector. The
projector can receive composite video or S-Video signals. If
your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack you have
composite video. If your video source has a four-pin video
jack you have S-Video. If your video source has a three-pin
video jack, you have G Sync-Video.

♦

Note:

The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F
connector.

You can connect to both an S-Video and a composite video
source at the same time. However, the projector automatically
selects the S-Video source. To display composite video you
must disconnect the S-Video source.

The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video
formats. By default, it automatically detects and identifies the
video format. However, you can set it to detect a single
broadcast format. (See “Video menu” in Chapter 3.) Note
that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of
video signal.

The type of cable you need to connect the video source to the
projector depends on whether you have composite video, S­Video or G Sync-Video. For composite video, use the video/
audio cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the
S-Video cable and audio cable supplied with your video device
or obtain one from your computer dealer. For G Sync-Video,
use the BNC type cable came with your video source.

■ ■ ■ ■

24

Installation

■

To connect a video source to the projector:

1. Switch off the projector and video source if they are on.

2. If your composite video uses an RCA-type composite

video connector, you will need the audio/video cable
supplied with the EMP-7300. If your video uses a S-Video
or BNC type connector, you will need to provide YOUR
OWN S-Video or BNC type cable, or use the S-Video or
BNC type cable that came with your video source.

3. For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug at one

end of the video/audio cable to the projector’s Video
jack. Connect the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out
jack on the video source.

A/V cable

4. Connect the other plugs on the audio/visual cable to the

Audio jacks of the projector: insert the white plug into the
L jack and the red plug into the R jack. Connect the plug
at the other end of the audio/visual cable to the audio
output jacks of the video source.

PA System

Though the projector’s internal speakers are enough for most
small-size or medium-size rooms, an external speaker can be
connected to achieve the best results for large room
presentations.

A commercially available RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo mini audio
cable or 3.5 mm stereo mini audio cable is required to
connect the projector’s 3.5 mm stereo mini jack to an external
speaker or a PA system. These items can be obtained from
your computer dealer.

1. Check to ensure that both the projector and all sources are

turned off.

Connecting to a Workstation

You can not use any kind of workstations. Before connecting,
make sure the type of your workstation. If you are not sure of
the type of workstation, consult your dealer or local
workstation company.

The following workstations are available:

• If your workstation output is 13W3, use a

13W3(male)↔HD D-Sub15(male) cable.

(Epson recommended, MS8158CA (1.8m) 6ft,

MS8128CA (0.9m) 3ft)

• If your workstation output is 5BNC, use a

5BNC(male)↔HD D-Sub15(male) cable

(Epson recommended, MS8102CA (1.8m) 6ft)

* You need to turn the Computer2/5BNC switch on the back of the projector to

5BNC.
