The compact, lightweight EPSON® PowerLite 5000 Projector allows you to project SVGA fullco lor images and video onto a large screen for presentations. You can connect the projector simultaneously to three image sources: two PC or Apple® Macintosh® computer image sources plus one video source, such as a VCR or camcorder. You can also connect audio for each image source.
Images are displayed in SVGA compatible full color (16,670,000 colors) at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. The projector produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes. The projector’s two speakers employ a built-in Spatializer 3D Sound System for rich, powerful audio output. You can even connect an external speaker when further amplification is required.
A totally new, patent pending AVTSS system (Automatic Video Tracking and Synchronization Sensing) provides automatic image setup from a computer with a touch of a button, producing beautiful images quickly and easily.
You control the projector through a hand-held remote control unit, with menus provided for image source switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also act as a wireless mouse to control operations on your computer screen during presentations. The projector’s ELP Link II software provides a number of add-on features designed to make presentations more effective.
The projector also features a new patented SizeWise chip for support of VGA and XGA output. No matter what type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.
The PowerLite 5000 Projector supports IBM® compatible PCs and laptops, as well as Apple® Macintosh,® Power Macintosh,TM and PowerBookTM computers. The video source can be NTSC, PAL, or SECAM in composite video or S-Video format.
Getting the Most Out of Your Projector
The PowerLite 5000 projector comes with a full set of features that enable you to control the settings for the image display, video, and audio. To get the most out of your projector, read this section for a quick summary of the important features.
Introduction
Remote Control
The buttons on the remote control enable you to turn the projector on and off, and provide direct access to auto set up, blank, freeze, volume, mute, and image source switching. Use the remote control buttons to access custom functions (with the ELP Link II software) and the projector’s menu system. You can even use the remote control to control your computer in place of your computer’s mouse.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode, the projector remains on but the lamp is turned off, conserving electricity, cooling the projector, and extending the life of the lamp.
Control Panel
The control panel buttons on the projector duplicate the remote control buttons and let you perform additional functions, such as adjusting the tracking and sync for computer images.

To connect the projector to a Macintosh Power-Book, you need a video-out cable. (One is provided for all new Power-Books that have video-out capability.) If your Power-Book does not include one, see your Macintosh dealer.
To connect the projector to an external sound system, you need an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable. You can obtain one from your computer dealer.
To connect the mouse cable to your computer, you may require a special connector, cable, or other components. You can obtain these items from your computer dealer.
