Projector Features
The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily
obtain optimum images simply by selecting a Colour mode.
In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in
places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow
images to be projected in their natural tints.

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings.
Fine and clear images can be obtained even in a bright room like a
conference room and a classroom.
If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are
too bright, change the setting to "Low".
The advantages of the "Low" setting are
• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%
• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 12%
• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life
sp.62
The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone
distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. sp.41
The projector is compact B5 size (19.3 (D) × 27.6 (W) × 7 (H) cm) and
lightweight (EMP-745/737 : approx. 1.8 kg, EMP-740/732 : approx. 1.7 kg).
Easy to carry it with the included Soft carrying case which has a pocket to
put cables and other accessories.
Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions
with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in
bright environments.
Automatically detects images input from connected equipment. You can
switch between the images with just a single touch of a button. sp.37

Projector Features
The accessory remote control can be used to carry out operations such as
pausing projection (Freeze function sp.51), zooming in on important parts
of images (E-Zoom function sp.52) and pointing out important parts of
images using a pointer icon (Pointer function sp.53).
In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the
computer screen during projection (Wireless Mouse Function sp.22).

Password protect function assists administration
and theft prevention
Password protection function allows you to limit the use of the projector.
This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without
authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature. sp.31
Direct Power On
You can make the projector turn on and be ready to project images simply by
connecting the power cable. You can also turn the power on for projectors in
places such as meeting rooms where the power is centrally controlled,
simply by turning the power on at the central control point.
This function locks the buttons on the projector's control panel.
This function is useful at times such as during shows and exhibitions, or in
places such as schools to limit the range of buttons that can be used. sp.54

otherwise it may interfere with the reception of signals from the
remote control.
•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. If this happens, replace
the batteries with new ones.

p.12
•If any of the buttons on the remote control are pressed down for
more than 30 seconds, the remote control stops to send signals
(remote control's sleep mode) . The purpose of this is to prevent the
batteries from being consumed due to something being placed on top
of the remote control.

Connecting to a Computer
CAUTION
When connecting the projector to a computer, make sure you check
the following.
•Turn the power off for both the projector and the computer before
connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of
connection, damage may result.
•Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before
making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device
port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the
connector or port may result.
•Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the
power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image
interference or errors in operation may result.
20
Eligible Computers
The method for connecting the projector to a computer using a cable is
explained here.
If using an EMP-745/737, see the EasyMP Network Setup Guide for
information on how to connect to a computer over a network.
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or
projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is
possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the
conditions given below.
• Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.
