Features of the Projector

Position adjustment function for a variety of projection screens

Images can be projected regardless of the location.

• If the screen is in a high position or the projector is suspended from a high ceiling.

The position of the projected images can be adjusted vertically. (Lens shift function

p.50)

The projector can be tilted using the front adjustable feet, and the keystone distortion in the projected images that occurs as a result of this can also be corrected. (Vertical keystone correction p.54)

If vertical keystone correction causes the height of projected images to be too short, the height of the projection area can also be adjusted. (Height correction p.55)

Projector monitoring and control functions using a network

Multiple projectors can be monitored and operations such as turning the power on and off and changing the input signal source can be carried out over a network by a single operator sitting at a computer. (EMP Monitor p.99)

In addition, if a problem occurs with a projector, such as a lamp blowing while projection is in progress, e-mail notification messages can be sent by the projector to notify someone of the problem. (Mail notification function

p.103)

• When projecting from the side of the screen

The Quick Corner function can be used to correct the four corners of the projection area to make the imag es f i t the scre en e x actly. p.52

Features of the Projector

Colour mode function

Optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following five preset settings according to the projection environment being used. No other colour adjustments are necessary.

Presentation

Theatre

Living Room

Effects functions

These functions allow you to indicate important points using a pointer and draw straight lines and freehand curves to help make explanations easier to understand. p.67

Brilliant, attractive images

The projector can display images at high resolutions with a high degree of luminance. In addition, images can be switched to low luminance if they are too bright when projecting in dark rooms or onto small screens. (EMP-8300 only) p.92

Easy to operate

The remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (Freeze Function p.64) and zooming in on important areas of an image (E-Zoom Function p.64). In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection (Wireless Mouse Function p.24). If using the wireless mouse function, you can use the remote control to scroll back and forth through slides when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

Features of the Projector

EMP Multi Screen Adjustment

When projecting multiple images on large-sized screen by multiple projectors making the images look one image, you may be bothered by the difference of colours between each projection. In such case, you can make multiple adjustments for the projectors us ing "EMP Multi S creen Adjustment". (EMP-9300 only)

Before Using the Remote Control

Inserting the Batteries

The batteries are not alrea dy inserted i nto the re mote control at the time the projector is purchased. You will need to insert the batteries that are provided with the projector before the remote control can be used.

CAUTION

Be sure to read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the batteries.

PROCEDURE

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing down on the rib of the battery cover, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

Rib

Insert the batteries.

Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way.

Replace the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover in until the tab clicks into place.

TIP

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 two new AA alkali batteries.

Before Using the Remote Control

Using the Remote Control and Remote Operating Range

Using the Remote Control

The remote control is used in the following way.

PROCEDURE

Set the [R/C] switch of the remote control to "ON".

Point the remote control light-emitting area towards

one of the remote control light-receiving areas on the projector and operate the remote control buttons.

Remote control light-receiving area (front)

Remote control light-emitting area

TIP

Remote control light-receiving area (rear)

• 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.

• When not using the remote control, set the [R/C] switch on the remote control to "OFF". If you leave the [R/C] switch at "ON", it will consume battery power.

• If a button on the remote control is pressed down for more than 1 minute while the [R/C] switch is at "ON", the signal for that button operation will stop being transmitted (the remote control will change to 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. When the button is released, normal remote control operation will resume.

Before Using the Remote Control

Remote Operating Range

Use the remote control within the ranges indi cated belo w. If the distance or angle between the remote control and the remote control light-receiving area is outside the normal operating range, the remote control may not work.

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/ceiling projection

• Rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen

• Rear projection using a tr anslucent screen

* 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. p.142

TIP

When using rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen, set the "Ceiling" and "Rear Proj." commands in the "Advanced1" menu to match the installation method. p.90, p.91

Installation

Screen Size and Projection Distance

The distance from the lens to the screen determines the actual image size. The recommended distance and projection distance values given below are for when the projector is fitted with a standard lens. If the projector has been fitted with an optional lens, refer to the documentation provided with the lens.

Recommended distance 104–1543 cm (3.4–50.6 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.

4:3 screen size (cm (in.))

30" (61 × 46 (24.0 × 18.1)) 104 (3.4) 146 (4.8) 40" (81 × 61 (31.9 × 24.0)) 142 (4.7) 197 (6.5)

Connecting to a Computer

CAUTION

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

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 fr eq ue ncy o f t he computer must be listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See "Appendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays" p.149

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". Refer to the documentation provided with the computer.

TIP

• You may need to purchase a commercially-available 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.141

Connecting to a Computer

Projecting Images from the Computer

The shape and specifications of the computer's moni tor 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 make the connections.
