Features of the Projector

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected.( p.31)

When projecting computer images, the signals from the connected computer are detected automatically and adjusted so that the optimum images are projected. Even if several people are giving presentations using the same projector, the optimum picture quality can be obtained simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the computers. Each individual setting can also be adjusted manually. (See connection method on

p.13, "Automatic Setup" on p.34.)

The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six preset settings according to the projection environment being used. No other troublesome colour adjustments are necessary. ( p.37, 45, 47)

• sRGB • Normal • Meeting

• Presentation • Theatre • Game

You can connect to a computer through a wireless network to project images from the computer using a wireless connection. (Network Screen function) EasyMP Setup Guide If presentation files are stored on a memory card, you can make your presentation without a computer. (CardPlayer function) EasyMP Operation Guide

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of a B5 page (19 (D) × 27.6 (W) × 7 (H) cm (7.5 (D) × 10.9 (w) × 2.8 (H) in. )) and is light in weight (approximately 1.9 kg. (4.2 lbs)), making it easy to carry.

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.

The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (see "Freeze" on p.40) and zooming in on important areas of an image (See "E-Zoom" on

p.42).

Tip :

• Do not allow sunlight or light from fluorescent lamps to shine directly onto the projector's remote control light-receiving areas, 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 battery is getting flat. If this happens, replace the battery with a new one. ( p.86)

• When not using the remote control, place it into the remote control holder at the back of the projector so that it does not get lost.

Installation

Setting Up the Projector

The projector supports the following four different projection methods, allowing you to choose the best method for displaying your images.

Caution :

Before setting up the projector, be sure to first read the separate Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms.

• Front projection • Rear projection using a translucent

screen

• Front/ceiling projection • Rear/ceiling projection using a

translucent screen

* A special method of installation is required in order to suspend the projector from

the ceiling. Please contact the place of purchase if you would like to use this installation method. The optional ceiling mount is required when installing the projector to the ceiling. ( p.94)

Tip :

When using rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen, set the "Ceiling" or "Rear Proj." command in the "Advanced" menu to match the installation method. ( p.53)

EMP-735 User’s Guide

Installation

Screen Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines the actual image size.

Recommended distance 1.0–11.7 m (3.2–38.5 ft.)

Whilst referring to the table below, position the projector so that the images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size. The values should be used as a guide for setting up the projector. The actual

values will vary depending on projection conditions and the zoom setting.

4:3 Screen size

* When installing against a wall, leave a space of about 20 cm (7.9 in.) between the

projector and the wall.

Tip :

• The projector's lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.16. The image size at the maximum zoom setting is about 1.16 times bigger than the image size at the minimum zoom setting.

• The image size will be reduced when keystone correction is carried out.

EMP-735 User’s Guide

Connecting to a Computer

Caution :

When connecting the projector to a computer, be sure to check the following.

• Turn off the power 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.

Eligible Computers

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.

Check that the computer has a port such as an "RGB port", "monitor port" or "CRT port" which can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.

• Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be

listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See "Appendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays"( p.97).

Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if necessary, change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays", whilst referring to the documentation provided with the computer.

Tip :

• You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the shape of the computer's port. Refer to the documentation provided with the computer for further details.

• If the computer and projector are too far away from each other for the accessory computer cable to reach, use the optional VGA-HD15 PC cable. See "Appendices: Optional Accessories" ( p.94)

EMP-735 User’s Guide

Projecting Images from the Computer

The shape and specifications of the computer's monitor port will determine what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type of port your computer has.

If the Monitor Port is a Mini D-Sub 15-pin Port

Use the accessory computer cable to connect the Computer/Component Video port at the rear of the projector to the monitor port of the computer.
