Compatible Video Formats

The projector supports the following international video standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL 60, PAL-M, PAL-N, and SECAM. In addition, the projector supports the computer 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. Note that the frequencies of some computers may not allow images to be displayed correctly; see your computer’s documentation for details.

EPSON PowerLite 8200i/9100i Projector

Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between 3 and 48 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 the computer and/or video source.
Face the projector squarely toward the screen. Otherwise, your image will be distorted.
Note: It’s easier to position the projector when the screen is directly in front of the room. If the screen is placed diagonally in a corner, it’s much more difficult to aim the projector squarely at the screen and get a non-distorted image.
You won’t need to tilt the projector upward as long as you position it so that its lens is at least as high as the bottom of the screen, but no higher than the middle of the screen, as shown:
no higher than middle of screen
ideal range
no lower than
bottom of screen

Calculating Image Size and Projection Distance

Use the formulas below either to find out how large your image will be when you know the distance from the projector to the screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place the projector if you want an image of a certain size. Since the size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring, formulas are given for calculating both the minimum and maximum sizes.
Note: The formulas given here are for when the projector is placed flat, without tilting it up at the screen. If you tilt it up by extending the feet or use electronic keystone correction, your image size may vary.
Standard Lens
To determine the diagonal size of an image when you know the projection distance:
Inches:
Maximum diagonal size = (0.6676 × projection distance) + 1.8 Minimum diagonal size = (0.5173
Centimeters:

Maximum diagonal size = (0.6676 × projection distance) + 4.6 Minimum diagonal size = (0.5173

To determine the projection distance when you know the diagonal size of the screen image:
Inches:

diagonal size) – 2.7
×
diagonal size) – 6.9
×
diagonal size) – 6.9
Note: If you have to raise the front of the projector, you can use the projector’s keystone correction to eliminate distortion. See “Adjusting the Image Shape” on page 7.
If you’ll be projecting from overhead, you’ll get the best­looking picture by mounting the projector parallel to the ceiling, with its lens at least as high as the middle of the screen, but no higher than the top of the screen. Then use the lens shift knob to position the image on-screen. You’ll also need to select ceiling projection in the projector’s Advanced menu.

Adjusting the Height of the Image

You can adjust the height of the image using the lens shift knob and the projector’s feet.
Press the lens shift knob to make it pop out; then turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to move the lens up or down. When you’re finished, press the knob back in.
To raise the image using the projector’s feet, stand behind the projector and hold up the front while you squeeze the blue foot release levers against the projector. This unlocks the feet.
Raise or lower the projector until the image is positioned where you want it, then release the levers to lock the feet and set the projector down gently. You can fine-tune the height of the projector by turning the feet.
If the image shape becomes distorted after you adjust the height, see the following section.

Adjusting the Image Shape

If the projected image isn’t square or has a “keystone” shape, do one or more of the following:
If your image looks like or , you’ve placed the projector off to one side of the screen, at an angle. Move it directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely.

Using the Remote Control

The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. It lets you access the projector’s features from anywhere in the room—up to 32 feet away. (This distance may be shorter if the remote control batteries are low.) You must also be within a ±30° angle from the front or rear receiver. If you have connected the mouse cable, you can also use the remote control as a wireless mouse.
The projector may not respond to remote control commands in these conditions:

Cleaning the Lens

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 can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this Product Information Guide. Refer all other servicing to qualified service personnel.
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.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Before you clean the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint­free 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.

Cleaning and Replacing 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.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.
Note: Standing the projector with the handle at the top prevents dust from getting inside the projector housing.
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.
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.
4. If you need to replace the filter, pull up on the tab to release the filter and remove it.
5. Insert the new filter as shown.

Replacing the Lamp

The projection 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 lamp light is flashing red or orange.
The message the projection lamp comes on (after about 1900 hours). To maintain the projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass portion of the lamp will result in premature lamp failure.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Allow the projector to cool down for at least an hour (if it has been on).
3. Use a screwdriver 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 from the cover.)

4. Use a screwdriver to loosen the three screws holding the lamp unit in place. (You cannot remove these screws completely.) Then lift the handle and pull out the lamp unit.
5. Gently insert the new lamp as shown below. Make sure it’s inserted securely. Tighten the screws on the new lamp.
