Important Information About Your PowerLite 7000
Important Safety Information
WARNING: 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. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING: The PowerLite 7000 projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.
Remote Control Information
You can operate the PowerLite 7000 by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:
There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the projector.
Ambient light is too bright.
Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.
A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room.
These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following solutions:
The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them.
Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.
Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight.
Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.
If the remote control still does not work properly, remember you can always control your computer-based presen­tation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above.

Introduction

he compact, lightweight EPSON® PowerLite 7000 Projector allows
T
you to project XGA full-color images and video onto a large screen for presentations. You can connect the projector simultaneously to three image sources: two PC or Apple plus one video source, such as a VCR or camcorder. You can also connect audio for each image source.
Images are displayed in XGA compatible full color (16,770,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 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 SXGA output. No matter what type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.
The PowerLite 7000 Projector supports IBM® compatible PCs and laptops, as well as Apple® Macintosh,® Power Macintosh,™ and PowerBook™ 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 7000 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.

Connecting to a Video Source

You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player, or any other compatible video image source to your PowerLite 7000 projector.
The projector can receive composite video or S-Video. Your equipment has composite video if your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack. Your equipment has S-Video if your video source has a four-pin video jack.
The PowerLite 7000 projector is not compatible with a cable
Note:
TV-style F connector.
You can connect the projector to both an S-Video and a composite video source at the same time. However, the projector automatically selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite video, first disconnect the S-Video source.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video format. However, you can specify that a single broadcast format be detected. (See Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video signal.
The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector depends on whether you have composite video or S-Video. For composite video, use the audio/visual (A/V) cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your computer dealer.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 24
1 • Installation
To connect a video source to the projector:
1. Turn off the projector and video source if they are on.
2. If your video source uses a small, round, one-prong composite (RCA) video connectors, you’ll need the audio/visual cable that comes with the PowerLite 7000. If your video source uses a large, round, four-prong S-Video connector, you will need to purchase an S-Video cable.
3. For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug on one end of the audio/visual cable to the projector’s Video In jack. Connect the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out jack of your video source.
4. Connect the other plugs on the audio/visual cable to the Audio In jacks of the projector: insert the white plug into the L Audio In jack and the red plug into the R Audio In jack. Connect the plug at the other end of the audio/visual cable to the audio output jacks of the video source.

5. For S-Video, insert one end of the S-Video cable into the projector’s S-Video jack. Insert the other end into the S-video-out jack of your video source.

Connecting to an External Speaker or PA System

Although the projector’s internal speakers are enough for most small­or medium-size rooms, you can connect the projector to an external speaker or public address (PA) system for large rooms or to gain maximum benefit from the projector’s built-in Spatializer function.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 26
To connect the projector to an external sound system, you need to obtain an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable. You can get one from your computer dealer.
1. Turn off the projector and speaker or PA system if they are on.
1 • Installation
2. Connect the cable’s 3.5 mm stereo miniplug to the projector’s Audio Out jack.
3. Connect the RCA plugs to the external amplified speaker or PA system. Insert the cable’s red plug into the Audio In R jack, and the white plug into the Audio In L jack.

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’s power indicator is orange and only a minimum amount of the projector’s circuitry remains on. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. When the projector is in sleep mode, you can press the Power button to start projecting images, or you can unplug the projector’s power cord.

Auto Button
If you are using image input from a computer, you can press the Auto button after fitting the image to the screen. Pressing the Auto button automatically adjusts the computer signal input to the current projector settings.
Press the Auto button while the image fills the entire screen of your computer, like a maximized Windows screen. Certain computer input signals may not be totally compatible with Auto button settings, so you may need to use the remote control or control panel menus to make adjustments.
Resize Button
The Resize button lets you select the projection method for certain types of image signals input from a computer.
With images up to XGA size (1024 x 768 pixels)—a 640 x 480 VGA image for example—you can choose from two projection methods. Either display the image in the center of the projection area or display the image full size.
With images greater than XGA size (1024 x 768 pixels)—a 1280 x 1024 SXGA image or a 1152 x 870 Macintosh 21 inch image, for example—you can choose from two projection methods. Either project a portion of the image or project the entire image in a compressed format. The projector automatically reduces the image size to XGA resolution.
The Resize button cannot be used with XGA (1024 x 768 pixels).

Maintenance

he PowerLite 7000 projector needs little maintenance. You should
T
keep the lens clean because any dirt or smears appear on the screen. You also need to periodically clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and keep it from overheating.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any other part needs replacing, contact your PowerLite 7000 dealer or a qualified service person.
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
81
can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this Owner’s Manual. Refer all other servicing to qualified service personnel.

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove dirt or smears on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-based cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 82

Cleaning the Projector Case

To clean the projector case, first 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 alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can cause the case to warp.
5 • Maintenance

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter at the bottom 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. To clean the air filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector on its right side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.
Standing the projector with the handle at the top keeps dust
Note:
from getting inside the projector housing.
3. Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to unscrew one screw, lift, and remove the filter cover.
Cleaning the Air Filter
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
83
4. The filter is attached to the inside of the filter cover. It is recommended that you use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment to clean the filter. If you don’t have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. Contact your PowerLite 7000 dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 in the United States and Canada to obtain a new one. Request part number 1032043.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 84

Replacing the Lamp

The projector lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use. It is time to replace the lamp when:
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
The projection lamp indicator (orange and red, flashing
alternately) is red.
Contact your PowerLite 7000 dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 in the United States and Canada for a replacement lamp.
Warning:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector over so you can access the lamp cover.
5 • Maintenance
Let the lamp cool before replacing it.
3. Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to loosen the two retaining screws on the lamp cover. When the screws are loose, lift off the lamp cover. (You cannot remove these screws.
