(EMP-74/54 only)

Brightness Control

The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily obtain the optimum images simply by selecting the image quality. 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. Troublesome colour adjustments can thus be avoided.

• Blackboard

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings. If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are too bright, change the setting to "Low". In addition, when the setting is changed to "Low", the amount of power consumed and noise produced are reduced and the operating life of the lamp can be extended.

• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%

• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 10%

• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life

p.61

Automatic keystone correction function

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

Features of the Projector

Compact and lightweight while producing beautiful, crisp images

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page (24 (D) × 31.5 (W)

× 8.7 (H) cm (9.45 (D) ×

12.4 (W) × 3.43 (H) in.) and is light in weight (approximately 2.9 kg. (6.4 lbs)), making it easy to carry. Clear and attractive images can be obtained even in bright locations.

Easy to Operate

The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (see "Freeze" on an image (see "E-Zoom" on used to move the pointer around on th (see "Wireless Mouse Function" on

p.47) and zooming in on important areas of

function, you can use the remote control to scroll back and forth through pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

Password protect function assists administration and theft prevention

If the password Protect function is em

ployed, a password can be used to limit operation of the projector and changing of settings. This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature.

Before Using the Remote Control

Using the Remote Control and Remote Operating Range

When using the remote control for the first time, pull out the insulating tape that is protruding from the batter pulled out, the remote control can then be used.

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.84

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

Hook a finger into the middle of the remote control holder and pull it downwards.

After placing the remote control into the holder, push the remote control holder in until it clicks into place.

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 (Front projection)

• Front/ceiling projection (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen (Rear/Ceiling projection)

• Rear projection using a translucent screen (Rear projection)

* A special method of installation is required for suspending the projector

from the ceiling. Please contact your supplier if you would like to use this installation method. The optional ceiling mount is required when installing the projector on the ceiling.

TIP

When using ceiling projection or projection using a translucent screen, set the "Projection" command in the "Advanced" menu to match the installation method.

Installation

Screen Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector's

lens and the screen determines the

actual image size.

Recommended distance

89–1050 cm (2.9–34.4 ft.)

While referring to the following table, 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.

TIP

•The projector's lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.2. The image size at the maximum zoom setting is about 1.2 times bigger than the image size at the minimum zoom setting.

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

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 conn 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.

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 monito may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase 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"

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", while referring to the documentation provided with the computer.

CAUTION

When connecting the projector to other video sources, take the following precautions.

•Turn off the power for both the projector and the video source 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, a malfunction or 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.
