Additional Safety Instructions

• Do not place the components of this system near sources of heat or in direct sunlight.

• Make sure nothing blocks the ventilation openings on any of the components. Allow for sufficient heat
dispersion when components are installed on a rack. Do not block or cover the heatsink on the back of the

• Where the mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

• When unplugging the power cord of any system component, handle it carefully. Hold the plug when
unplugging the cord.

• This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied in your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company.

• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.

• Keep the system components free from moisture, water, and dust.

• Do not let insecticides, benzene, or thinner come in contact with any components of the system.

• Never push objects of any kind through openings in the system components as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.

• Except as specifically explained in these instructions, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Never disassemble or modify the product in any way. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the components

• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

• When closing the screen, be careful not to pinch your fingers where the screen closes against the case.

• Do not touch the white part of the screen with your hands. Oil from your skin could damage it.

• Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light can damage your eyes.
Never let children look into the lens when it is on.

• Don’t use the projector outside of the required temperature range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so
may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.

Introduction

The Ensemble HD home cinema system by Epson is designed to transform your living room into a

TM

®

state-of-the-art home cinema. Its wide-format (16:9) projection screen, 5.1-channel surround sound system,
and high-definition video projector deliver unrivaled, high-performance picture and sound.

Your home cinema system’s ease-of-use and versatility let you:

• Watch movies using the built-in DVD player (see page 19)

• Listen to music in various formats—by playing CDs, connecting an MP3 player, or using the built-in

AM/FM radio (see page 23)

• Connect external components such as a cable box, satellite receiver, gaming console, or high-definition

DVD player like Blu-ray or HD DVD (see page 31)

TM

®

• Use the included universal remote control to operate not just the Ensemble HD system, but any

components you connect to it

See “Getting Started” in the next section for basic instructions on using your system.

Getting Started

The universal remote control included with your Ensemble HD system puts complete
control over your home theater in the palm of your hand. With one touch, you can
lower the screen, turn on the projector, and get ready to watch a movie. If you’ve
connected additional components to your home theater, such as a cable box or satellite
receiver, you can use the remote control to operate them too.

See these sections:

• “Using the Remote Control” on page 12

• “Turning On the System” on page 13

• “Controlling the Screen” on page 15

• “Controlling the DVD Player and Other Equipment” on page 15

• “Adjusting the Volume” on page 17

Using the Remote Control

Aim the remote control at the screen and press any button. An icon appears on the remote control’s LCD
screen to indicate that a command is being transmitted. At the same time, the blue light at the top of the
projection screen flashes, indicating that the system is receiving a command.

Blue light

Note

The blue light remains on when the screen is raised and turns off when the screen is lowered.

If you’re using the remote control in a darkened room, press the LIGHT button on the side of the remote
control. The keys and display screen on the remote control light up so you can make a selection. The light
shuts off by itself after 10 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the

LIGHT button a second time.

Connecting the Audio Cable for the Video Source

Once you’ve connected the video cable, you may need to connect an audio cable in order to combine the
picture with sound. If you’ve connected your device using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is already carried
by the cable, so you don’t have to connect an additional cable. (Make sure HDMI audio is enabled in your
component’s setup menu.) Otherwise, you’ll need to connect an audio cable to one of the ports listed below:

Linking Audio and Video Sources

Once you’ve connected the audio and video cables, you need to tell the Ensemble HD system which audio and
video ports to use together. That way, when you select a device with the remote control (VCR, cable, satellite,
etc.), the matching audio and video sources will be automatically used. You link the audio and video sources
together using the Source Assign screen.

Note

The label you assign to a device (e.g. “CABLE”) is what you see on the projection screen when you’re selecting sources. It
doesn’t affect the device names shown on the remote control’s LCD screen.

1 Make sure the MAIN menu is displayed on the remote control. If necessary,

an RCA-style stereo cable and connect your equipment’s audio output port to the
the AV controller, as shown below:

AUDIO 1 IN port2CH OUT port

To record from the AV controller to your tape deck, connect the audio input port on your tape deck to the

2CH OUT port, shown above. If you’re not using a tape deck, you can use this port to connect the

Ensemble HD system to an external amplifier or other home audio system.

AUDIO 1 port on the back of

Note

The 2CH OUT port is intended for use as a pass-through port. You cannot use the Ensemble HD system to control the
volume of the audio signal transmitted through this port.

Setting Up the Remote Control

After connecting a new component, you can continue to use its original remote control. However, it may be
more convenient to set up the Ensemble HD remote control to work with it. That way, you only need to use
one remote control.

You enable the Ensemble HD remote control to recognize the new component by entering a setup code as
described on page 37. This creates the appropriate commands for your device in one of the remote control
menus listed below:

Component Remote control menu name

Cable box CABLE

Satellite receiver SAT

High-definition DVD player HD

Digital video recorder (for example, TiVo) DVR

Video game console AUX

Video cassette recorder VIDEO

Note

The menus for the listed components remain blank until you enter the setup code for the component. The remote control
also has several other menus (DVD, RADIO, AUDIO, and PROJ). These are used to operate the built-in components of the
Ensemble HD system.

If you have a type of component not listed above, first enter its setup code as described in the next section. Then see
“Customizing the Remote Control Menu” on page 39 for additional instructions.

Entering the Setup Code for Your Component

You enable the remote control to recognize the new component by entering a setup code from the tables
starting on page 85. You may have to try out several codes before finding the right one for your component.
Once the correct code is entered, the remote control will automatically create the appropriate commands in the
menu for the new device.

If you can’t find the correct code, you can “teach” the remote control how to operate your new component one
function at a time, but this may take much longer (see page 72).

1 Turn on the component you want to set up. Each time you enter a code, the remote control will try to turn

off your component by sending a power-off command. You will know that you have entered the correct
code when the component turns off.

2 Press and hold both the

MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approximately three seconds to enter the

SETUP menu.

Customizing the Remote Control Menu

For most components that can be connected to the Ensemble HD system, a full set of functions is already
programmed into the remote control. These functions work with all the components listed in the tables
starting on page 85. If you’ve connected a different type of component or want to customize the menu for your
device, follow the steps below.

Note

There are 10 devices listed in the remote control’s MAIN menu. You cannot add new ones, but you can modify an existing
one to customize it for your new component.

1 First enter the code for you component, as described on page 37. If you successfully enter the correct code,

the remote control will automatically create the appropriate commands in the menu for the new device.

2 If desired, change the menu name for the new device on the remote control. For example, you might want

to change AUX to HDTV. To change the device name, see “Editing Device Names and Commands” on
page 75.

Note

If you change the device name on the remote control, it will not match the name shown on the projection screen
when you select your component for viewing.

3 If necessary, delete any functions currently displayed in the menu that you don’t need. See “Editing Device

Names and Commands” on page 75.

4 If any functions are missing, copy them from component’s original remote control. See “Learning

Commands from Another Remote Control” on page 72.

occasion:

•“Adjusting the Screen Length” on page54

• “Adjusting the Image Position and Focus” on page 56

• “Checking the Projector Lamp” on page 58

• “Replacing Remote Control Batteries” on page 59

Warning

Never open the cover on the projector or other components. Dangerous electrical voltages can injure you severely. Do
not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide.

Cleaning

Warning

Before you clean any part of the system, turn the system off and unplug the power cord.

Cleaning the Screen

If the screen gets soiled, clean it using a clean, white, 100% cotton cloth. Dampen the cloth with clean, clear
water (do not use detergents). Gently wipe the soiled area in one direction only. Do not use a circular motion.
Wipe any moisture from the screen using a dry cotton cloth.

A lint roller or masking tape may be used to remove loose dust or lint.

Cleaning the Projector Lens

Clean the lens if you notice dirt or dust on the surface. To remove
dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning tissue. If necessary, moisten a soft
cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

Caution

Clean the lens gently to avoid changing the focus or misaligning the image
with the screen. If this happens, see “Adjusting the Image Position and
Focus” on page 56.

53

Cleaning System Components

You can clean the outside of the system components to remove dust and fingerprints. Before cleaning, turn off
the system and unplug the power cord.

• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the component with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the
component and dry it with a dry cloth.

Caution

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage components.

Adjusting the Screen Length

You can adjust how far the screen comes down when you open it. The screen is factory-set to come down 55
inches, but you can set it to come down as far as 64 inches, with a 12-inch black drop at the top.

Note

If you change the position of the screen, you’ll have to reposition the image. See page 56 for instructions.

Manual Screen Adjustment

If you weren’t able to adjust the screen length precisely enough using the remote control, you can adjust it using
the 4-mm Allen wrench that came with your system. This adjustment sets the maximum length that the screen
can come down.

Caution

Do not allow the screen to descend more than 64 inches (with a black drop of more than 12 inches), or the fabric could
separate from the roller.

1 After adjusting the screen length as described in the previous section, press S-DWN on the remote control

to lower the screen fully.

2 Locate the lower-limit adjustment screw on the left side of the screen roller, inside the screen casing.

Caution

Do not turn the upper-limit adjustment screw, located to the rear of the lower-limit adjustment screw.

4-mm Allen

wrench

3 Use a 4-mm Allen wrench to rotate the adjustment screw:

To raise the screen: Turn the screw clockwise.

To lower the screen: Turn the screw counterclockwise.

Each turn changes the screen’s stop-position by two-thirds of an inch. However, since the screen doesn’t
move as you adjust it, you’ll need to estimate how far to turn the screw. After turning the screw the
estimated number of turns, remove the Allen wrench and press
screen fully. Then press

S-DWN to re-open the screen. Verify that it comes down and stops at the desired

S-UP on the remote control to raise the

position.

Problems Using the Radio

Problem Solution

You get poor radio reception. The antennas included with the AV controller are sufficient to receive strong, local

stations. To receive weaker stations, connect an antenna designed for stronger
reception, such an outdoor antenna. See your antenna’s manual or the
Ensemble HD Installation Guide to make connections for proper grounding
protection.

You installed an outdoor antenna
and properly grounded it, but you
get audio hum or buzz as a result.

Connect a ground loop isolator to the coaxial antenna cable close to where it
connects to the AV controller. You can purchase this module from electronics
retailers. The module filters out interference caused by the outdoor ground
connection. Or you can use a coaxial surge protector.

WARN IN G:

Never disconnect the antenna’s ground connection or disable the grounding pins
on your power cords. These exist for the projection of both you and your equipment.

system.

You’ve changed the name of a
device listed on the remote
control, but now when you select
it, the name shown on the
projection screen doesn’t match
the name shown on the remote
control.

Make sure the DVD player’s monitor type setting (or similarly named function) is set

You need to match up the device name with the ports to which you’ve connected
the audio and video. See “Linking Audio and Video Sources” on page 34.

See “Customizing the Remote Control Menu” on page 39.

The remote control supports up to 10 devices, which are already programmed into
it. Therefore, you cannot add a new device, but you can modify an existing one to
customize it for your new component. See “Customizing the Remote Control Menu”
on page 39.

You can change the device name on the remote control, but it will no longer match
the name shown on the projection screen when you select the device for viewing.

Advanced Remote Control Setup

You can change the behavior of your remote control by editing device names (menu screen titles), editing
command names, creating macros, adding or hiding menu pages, and setting up “punch through” commands
(rarely used). See these sections:

• “Editing Device Names and Commands” below

• “Setting Up Macros” on page 77

• “Adding or Hiding Pages” on page 78

• “Erasing Learned Buttons and Macros” on page 79

• “Using Remote Control Punch-Through” on page 80

Editing Device Names and Commands

Each type of device (DVD, CABLE, etc.) has its own menu with commands listed on multiple pages. You can
customize the name of the device (which is also the name of the menu) or any command listed in the menu. If
you are adding a new command from another remote control (see page 72) or creating a macro (see page 77),
you’ll first need to add the command name to a blank space in the menu, as described below. If there isn’t a
space already, you’ll need to add a blank page (see “Adding or Hiding Pages” on page 78).

Setting Up Macros

A macro lets you perform several operations in sequence automatically. For example, when you press the ON
button to turn on the Ensemble HD system, the remote control turns on the projector, turns on the
AV controller, and lowers the screen—all with one press of a button.

If you find there are other operations you sometimes perform together—for example, turning on your cable
box and DVR—you can create a macro to perform the operations automatically. You store the macro by saving
it as a menu option for a particular device (for example, you could create a macro called SYS ON in the DVR
menu).

Note

You cannot use any of the physical buttons on the remote control to store a macro.

1 Choose a name for the new macro and add it to the desired menu (see “Editing Device Names and

Commands” on page 75).

Using Remote Control Punch-Through

The Ensemble HD remote control is pre-programmed to let you operate various devices, each from its own
menu. For example, if you’ve connected a high-definition DVD player, you can operate it from the HD menu;
or you can operate a satellite receiver from the SAT menu. However, you may want to be able to operate your
high-definition DVD player from the MAIN menu so you can also access the Ensemble HD setup menu, and
adjust the picture or sound at the same time, for example. To do this, you create a “punch through.” This lets
you use the remote control to operate certain functions of one device, while you have the menu screen open for
another device. (You can punch commands through any menu, not just the MAIN menu.)

Note

The volume control is automatically punched through to your home theater system from every device.

Follow these steps to set up a punch-through:

1 Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both the

MAIN button twice to return to

normal operation.

Using an RF Base Station

You can use the Ensemble HD remote control to operate components such as a cable box or satellite receiver,
even if they’re hidden inside a cabinet. You can do this by using an optional RF base station (radio-frequency
receiver) to relay the remote control’s commands. An RF base station lets you send commands to components
that are not located near the AV controller, or are located inside a closed space such as a cabinet. The base
station receives RF commands from the remote control and relays them to each of your components, wherever
they’re located. (This is possible because the Ensemble HD remote control emits both IR and RF signals.)

Note

The AV controller included with your system can be used in a closed space even without a base station. That’s because
the sensor that receives commands for it is located at the top of the screen.

The Ensemble HD remote control is compatible with RF base stations made by Universal Remote Control
(www.UniversalRemote.com). Both addressable and non-addressable versions are available. Addressable ones
let you avoid interference from other RF remote controls being used nearby. See the next section for
instructions on setting up an addressable base station. (If you have a non-addressable base station, you probably
won’t need to change any of the RF settings.)

Setting Up an Addressable Base Station

If you have an addressable base station, there are several RF settings you may need to adjust on the remote
control. At a minimum, you should set the ID # to match the one assigned to your base station.

1 Press and hold both the

MAIN and ENT buttons for approximately three seconds. The top of the screen

displays SETUP.

You have 30 seconds to complete each step. After that, the remote control returns to normal operation.

3 Select the setting you want to adjust:

IR/RF to cause the remote control to emit IR signals only, RF signals only, or IR and RF signals at the

•
same time. If a component receives IR signals directly from the remote control and from the base
station at the same time, the signals may interfere with each other, so you should set the remote
control to use only RF signals with that component. (You can select the component in step 4.)

•

ID # to select the receiver ID # of your addressable base station. Select an address other than 0 (zero) to

prevent interference from other RF remote controls in the vicinity.

EMITT to route commands through specific emitters plugged into the base station. (The ID # must be

Remote Control Codes

The program codes provided in this chapter let you set up your remote control to work with devices made by
other companies. See “Connecting and Using Other Components” on page 31 for instructions on using such
devices with your system.

If you need to recall the code number you selected for a device, see “Recalling Programmed Codes” on page 86.

Using the Code Tables

The code tables in this chapter (starting on page 87) let you quickly program your remote control to work with
different brands of equipment you may own. See “Setting Up the Remote Control” on page 36 for
instructions.

The codes are divided into categories (TV, cable, DVD, etc.). Each category may include different types of
components. For example, the DVD category includes TV/DVD combo units. In each section, the code
numbers are listed by brand (Sony, Panasonic, etc.). Some brands have more than one code for you to try.
