Compatible Video Formats
The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
international video standards, as well as the monitor display
formats listed below.
To project images output from a computer, the computer’s
video card must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency)
that’s compatible with the projector; see the following table
for compatible formats. As noted below, some images are
automatically resized to display in one of the projector’s
“native” formats (such as XGA). In addition, the frequencies
of some computers may not allow images to display correctly;
see your computer’s documentation for details.

Projector Placement Guidelines
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
3.6 and 45.5 feet from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of your
computer and/or video source.
❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. Otherwise, your
image will not be square.

Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you
position the lens ring and whether you have adjusted the
image size with other settings.

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the
projector upward causes the image to lose its square shape, but
you can correct the distortion by pressing the
Keystone
button as described on page 5.
Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power
inlet.

2. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet.
The power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet

3. Use the tab on the lens ring to rotate the ring and extend the
lens.

If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If
you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen,
the image will still be square, but you won’t be able to fill the
whole screen with the image.
Starting Up the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below, followed by any equipment you’ve connected to it. You
can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order,
but if you have both a computer and video source connected,
you may have to switch to the desired source as described on
page 4.

Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the
recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life
of the lamp and protects the projector from possible
overheating.
Note: When the projector has not received any input signals for 30
minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters
“sleep mode.” This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and
extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector,
unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
❏ Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
❏ To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and
gently wipe the lens surface.

remove the cap
before cleaning
Cleaning the Projector
Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and
unplug the power cord.
❏ To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case 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 case.
❏ Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical
detergents. These can damage the case.
3. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter
using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s camel-hair brush).
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace
it. Contact your dealer or EPSON to obtain a new one.
4. To replace the filter, use a small screwdriver to pry it off.
Note
: When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a
new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when
you replace the lamp.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter on top of the projector after every 100
hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become
clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can
cause overheating and damage the projector.
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the
power cord.
2. Stand the projector on end to keep dust from falling inside.
8 - EPSON PowerLite 503c/713c Projector 9/01
5. To install the new filter, first insert the tab, then press down
until it clicks in place.
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1,000 hours of
use. It is time to replace the lamp when:
❏ The projection image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏ The lamp warning light is red, flashing red, or flashing
orange.
❏ The message
the lamp comes on (after about 900 hours of use). To
maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the
lamp as soon as possible.
