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

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

The image brightness can be adjusted by adjusting the individual R (red), G (green) and B (blue)
components of the dark areas (offset), bright areas (gain) and intermediate areas (gamma) respectively.
Because such detailed adjustments are possible, images with greater depth can be obtained.
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.
You can use these adjustments to reproduce the image as if you are watching your favorite movie at a
theatre, or even adjust the colours to other completely different colours.
Hue:
Adjusts the overall colouration from blues to greens to reds.
Saturation: Adjusts the overall vividness of the images.
If you would like bright areas to appear
more clearly, change the setting to the – side.
If you change it to the + side, bright areas
will become whiter, but the contrast will
become poorer.
If the setting is changed to the – side,
smoother images can be obtained. If the
setting is changed to the + side, sharper
images can be obtained.
If you use the Cinema Color Editor supplied with the projector, you can make picture quality
adjustments and gamma settings easily from a computer using a mouse. These adjustments
can be saved in a computer file which can be exchanged with other people so that they can
also enjoy the images adjusted by you. p.24

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.
