Appendix Troubleshooting

Features of the Projector

Easy gamma setting by computer

The optimum images for the location can be projected simply by selecting the desired colour mode from the following six preset modes. No complex colour adjustments are required. When one of "Theatre", "Natural", "Theatre Black" or "sRGB " is selected, the Epson Cinema Filter effect will be applied automatically. This increases contrast and makes flesh tones appear more natural. In addition, if you select "Dynamic" or "Living Room", the Black-White Stretch function will operate to produce images that appear more solid, with clearer light and dark areas. p.8

The Cinema Color Editor CD-ROM supplied with the projector allows you to make gamma settings by a computer. The settings can be saved as a file in the computer, that lets you exchange the file with your friend and enjoy projecting images with the same setting using a different projector. In addition, if the projector is connected to a network, the projector can be operated and image adjustment data can be uploaded and downloaded via the network. p.24

Equipped with a wide-angle lens shift function

A variety of image setting functions

Electronic zoom and focus adjustment

The projector's control panel and the accessory remote control can be used for easy zoom and focus adjustments. For zoom adjustment, a high magnification lens is provided to allow images to be increased in size by up to 1.5 times, so that images can be projected onto an 80" screen even at a distance of approximately 2.5 m (8.2 ft.). Setup Guide

Many other functions are available as follows.

EPSON Super White function that reproduces input signals containing whites of 100IRE or higher without overexposure. p.18 Progressive and Motion Detection functions allow you to obtain ideal results both for images with large amounts of movement and for still images. p.18 An aspect function that allows images to be viewed in wide-screen format. p.8 Memory functions that allow adjustment results to be stored and later retrieved easily using the remote control. p.12 Key lock function that locks the control panel so that settings cannot be changed accidentally after adjustment. p.20 Adoption of a special high-resolution DCDi video circuit developed by Faroudja. This circuit greatly reduces the jagged edges that resulted from conventional progressive conversion.

The lens shift function allows you to adjust the position of the projected images vertically and horizontally without distorting the images. This allows the projector to be set up with greater freedom, even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at an angle to the screen. Setup Guide

Wide range of

brightness adjustments

Adjusting the hue and saturation of colours

The hue and saturation for each of the red (R), green (G), blue (B), cyan (C) magenta (M) and yellow (Y) colour components can be adjusted to produce images with greater depth. p.10, p.28

The image brightness can be adjusted within a wide range. Optimum images can be obtained even if using the projector in a bright environment for watching videos or games, or in a dark environment such as when creating the atmosphere of a home theatre. p.16

Press and select a color mode from the following modes in the selection menu. Setting is also possible using the configuration menu.

Input signals will be projected at the same width as the projector's panel resolution.

Black bands will appear at the left and right of the images.

Input signals will be projected at the same height as the projector's panel resolution.

Input signals will be projected at the same height as the projector's panel resolution. At this time, the image enlargement ratio will be smaller near the middle of the images but become larger towards the left and right edges of the images.

This is useful for when 4:3 images are projected onto a wide ascreen. Because there is almost no distortion due to enlargement in the middle of the images, the images appear close to what they would be at their original size. And because both ends of the images are enlarged, movement at the edges of the images appears faster and gives an impression of greater speed, making it ideal for viewing sporting events.

*"Wide" cannot be selected if

keystone correction has been carried out.

When 4:3 images are projected, the top and bottom of the images will be truncated. When images with subtitles are projected and the subtitles are truncated, use the "Zoom Caption" menu command to adjust. p.19

When 4:3 images are projected, the images will be elongated horizontally.

Viewing images at a preset image quality (memory function)

The Cinema Color Editor program can also be used to store and retrieve memory settings from a computer. A computer can be used to make detailed adjustments and these adjustments can be stored using the "Memory: Advance" menu command.

Adjust the desired settings that you would like to save in memory.

Select "Memory: Standard" in the "Image" menu and then press .

If "RGBCMY" is set, the menu name will change to "Memory: Advance".

Select the memory area name you would like to save and then press .

The status of a memory area is indicated by the colour of the symbol to the left of the memory name as follows.

Green : Memory area is in use Grey : Memory area is not in use Orange : Selected If you select a memory area that is already in use and press , the existing contents will be erased and the current settings will be saved in the area.

To erase all memory contents, select "Memory Reset" from the "Reset" menu. p.22

You can press and select the desired memory name from the selection menu. If settings have been saved using both the "Memory: Advance" and the "Memory: Standard" commands, a screen for selecting the "Memory: Standard" or "Memory: Advance" will be displayed. Select the one where the settings that you would like to retrieve are stored between the two.

The adjusted values for each of the configuration menu items shown at left and the aspect setting can be saved. The memory area used to save the settings will vary depending on whether "RGB" or "RGBCMY" is selected in the "RGB/RGBCMY" setting of the "Color Adjustment" sub-menu. If "RGB" is set : Settings will be saved into "Memory: Standard" If "RGBCMY" is set : Settings will be saved into "Memory: Advance"

If the Cinema Color Editor has been used to make picture quality adjustments and gamma settings from a computer, the adjustments or settings can also be stored in the memory and be retrieved from it. With Cinema Color Editor, the adjusted values can also be saved in files in the computer as well as in memory, so you can store many sets of adjustment values without being limited by the number of memory areas. p.30

Memory settings that have been applied to images will be retained even when the projector's power is turned off. The same memory adjustment settings will be applied to images that are projected the next time the projector's power is turned on. The aspect setting retrieved from memory may not be applied to the images if they are 16:9 images or if the input signal images have a particular resolution. It may not be possible to change settings for some configuration menu commands depending on the type of memory settings that were retrieved. In such cases, if you select "Last Memory" from the selection menu, the settings will be returned to their initial values before the adjustments were retrieved, and you will then be able to adjust these menu settings.

Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumables.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet for details on safe handling of the projector before cleaning.

Cleaning the Air Filter

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust or the message "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter." is displayed, clean the air filter. Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filter.

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can result in overheating which may cause operating problems or reduce the operating life of the optical parts. It is recommended that you clean the air filter about once every three months. If using the projector in a dusty location, the air filter should be cleaned more often.

Cleaning the Projector Body

Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth. If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with

water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the body again with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use any volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector body. It can cause the body to warp and make the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Consumable Replacement Periods

•

The replacement warning message is set to appear after a minimum of about 1600 hours of lamp use in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images. The time taken for the message to appear will vary depending on usage conditions such as Color Mode settings. If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

•

The actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used. The lamp may become dark or be off even before the lamp replacement message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

•

Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Glossary

The following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which were not explained in the manual itself. Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.

Component video

Video signals which have the video brightness signals and color signals separated, in order to provide better image quality. In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and Pr (color difference signals).

Composite video

Video signals which have the video brightness signals and color signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC PAL

and SECAM formats). Video signals which consist of a carrier signal Y (luminance signal) within the color bar signal, and a chroma or color signal (CbCr).

Interlace

A method of image scanning whereby the signal bandwidth used is approximately half that required for sequential scanning when images with the same still picture resolution are broadcast.

IP address

A series of numbers that identifies a device that is connected to a network.

MAC address

Abbreviation for Media Access Control address. A MAC

address is a unique ID number that is assigned to each network adapter. All network adapters are assigned this unique address, and these are used as the basis for communication between each network adapter.

Cool-down

This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. It is carried out automatically when the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel has been pressed to the projector off. Do not disconnect the power cable while cool-down is in progress, otherwise the cooldown process will not work properly. If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally, the projector's lamp and internal components will remain at high temperatures, and this may shorten the useful life of the lamp or cause problems with the operation of the projector. The cool-down period lasts for about 30 seconds. The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature.

DHCP

Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration protocol, which is a protocol for automatically assigning an IP address

Gateway

A server (router) that is used for communication over a network (subnet) that is divided up using subnet masks

HDMI

An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface, and refers to a standard for digital transmission of highdefinition images and multi-channel audio signals. HDMI is a standard that is targeted towards household digital equipment and computers that allows digital signals to be transmitted in their original high quality without compression, and it also includes a digital signal encryption function.

HDTV

An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.

• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater

(p = progressive, i = interlaced

• Screen aspect of 16:9

• Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output)

for devices that are connected to a network.

)

NTSC

An abbreviation for National Television Standards Committee, and a format for ground-based analogue colour television broadcasts. This format is used in Japan, North America and Central and South America.

PA L

An abbreviation for Phase Alternation by Line, and a format for ground-based analogue colour television broadcasts. This format is used in Western European countries except France, and also in Asian countries such as China and in Africa.

Refresh rate

The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

S-Video

A video signal which has the luminance component and

color component separated in order to provide better image quality. It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (color signal).

SDTV

An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for HDTV

SECAM

An abbreviation for Sequential Couleur A Memoire, and a format for ground-based analogue colour television broadcasts. This format is used in France, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Africa.

Security lock

A device consisting of a protector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

Appendix

Glossary

SNMP

Abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol. In TCP/IP networks, this protocol is used for communication between routers and other devices that are connected to the network such as computers and terminals so that these devices can be monitored and controlled over the network.

sRGB

An international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors which are reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.

Subnet mask

A series of numbers that define the number of bits to be used for network addresses in a network (subnet) that is divided up according to IP addresses

SVGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) PC/ AT-compatible computers.

SXGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) PC/ AT-compatible computers.

600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM

1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM

YCbCr

The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in modern TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma [color]) signals.

YPbPr

The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (color difference) signals.

Sync. (Synchronization)

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronization". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.

Tracking

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.

Trap IP address

An IP address for the destination computer when SNMP

VGA

A type of image signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) PC/ AT-compatible computers.

reports that a problem has occurred.

480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM
