Projector Care
Be sure to read the Important Safety Instructions before proceeding.
Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the projected image
starts to deteriorate.
Cleaning the projector case
Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft clot h.
Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially-available air blower, or lens cleani ng paper to gently wipe
the lens.
As the lens can be easily damaged, do not rub the lens with harsh
c
materials or subjec t the lens to sh ocks.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a
small amount of (ph) neutral detergent, and then firmly wri ng the cloth dry
before using it to wipe the projector case. After you have done this, wipe the
projector again with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean
the projector case. These can cause the case to warp and make the
c
surface coating peel off.

Resetting the lamp operating time
The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating
time and causes the repl acement warnin g mess age to be dis played when t he
cumulative operating time reaches a certain point. Therefore, the counter
needs to be reset from the configuration menu, after the lamp has been
replaced with a new one.
Please do not reset the lamp operating time except when the lamp has
been changed. Otherwise, the lamp operating time will not be displayed

The ratio between an image’s length and its height.
Images which hav e an aspe ct rati o of 16:9 are called
Widescreen. The aspect ratio for standard images is
4:3.
The temperature of an object which is emitting light.
When the color temperature is high, colors tend to
take on a bluish t inge; when the color temper atu re is
low, colors tend to take on a reddish tinge.
A type of video signal which has the video
brightness and color si gnal inf ormation separ ated, in
order to provide better image quality. In highdefinition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which
consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance
signal), and Pb and Pr (color difference signals).
The standard home video signal (NTSC, PAL,
SECAM) which has the video brightness and color

The process used to cool down a pro jector lamp that
is hot from use. Cool-down happens automati cally
when the [Power] button is pressed on the projector
or on the remote control to turn the projector off. Do
not unplug the projector power cable while it is
cooling down. If cool-down is interrupted, heat from
the lamp gets trapped inside the projector ,
potentially shortening the life of t he lamp and
causing projector failure.

Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two
speakers, whereas Dolby Digital is a 6-channel (5.1channel) system which adds a center speak er, two
rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
An abbrevi ation for High-Definition Television, it
refers to high defi nition systems which satisfy the
following conditions:
• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater
(p=Progressive scanning
• Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
• Dolby digital

The number of refresh operations per second The
light-emitting element of a display maintains the
same luminosity and color for an extremely short
time. For this reason, the image must be scanned
many times per second in order to refresh the lightemitting element. The refresh rate is expressed in
hertz (Hz).
This function is used to project computer images
that have a resolution more than or less than the
projector's panel resolution, so that they fill the

grounding-type plug into a properly grounded outlet. If you have a twoprong outlet, contact an electrician to replace it.
◗Take the following precautions when handling the plug. Failure to
comply with these precautions could result in sparks or fire.
◗Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present.
◗Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
◗Do not overload wall outlets, extension cables or integral convenience
receptacles. This can cause fire or electric shock.
◗Do not place the projector where the cable can be stepped on. It may
result in fraying or damage to the plug.
◗Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleani ng. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aeros ol cleaners.
◗Do not block the slots and opening in the projector case. They provide
ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not place the
projector on a sofa, rug or other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet
unless proper ventilation is provided.
◗Never push objects of any kind through cabinet slots. Never spill liquid
of any kind into the projector.
◗Unplug the projector when it will not be used for extended periods.
◗Do not place the projector and remote control on top of heat producing
equipment or in a heated place, such as a car.
◗Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer se rvicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
◗ When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed
◗ If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or it has been exposed to
rain or water
◗ If it does not operate normally when you follow the operating
instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance,
indicating a need for service
◗ If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged
◗The internal projector components consist of many glass parts such as
the lens and projection lamp.
Important Safety Instructions
67
◗The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the
projector with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and
contact your dealer or see Where to Get Help
for repairs.
Particular care should be taken when the project or is installed to a
ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is
removed. Be very careful not to a llow such piece s of gl ass to get into the
eyes or mouth.
◗Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter underneath the
projector while it is in use. Remove anything from underneath the
projector that might get stuck against the air filter in this way.
◗Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.
◗Doing so will result in serious burns. Before removing the lamp, turn off
the power supply and wait the time spec ifi ed in t he User’s Guid e to allow
the lamp to cool completely.
◗A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's
light source. Mercury lamps may make a loud noise when they break.
Handle the lamp with extreme care while observing the following.
◗If the following points are not observed, injury or poisoning may result.
◗Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
◗Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed.
Once the lamp replacement period has elapsed, the possibility of the
lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message
appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
◗Particular care should be taken when the project or is installed to a
ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is
removed. If cleaning the proje ctor or r eplac ing the l amp your self, be v ery
careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get int o the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass
are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill eff ects are
noticed, immediately seek medical advice.
◗If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power plug, otherwise
you may receive an electric shock.
◗Clean the inside of the projector periodically.
◗If the inside of the projector has not been cleaned for a long time, dust
may build up and cause fire or electric shocks. Contact your dealer or
Authorized EPSON Service Center to clean inside the projector at l east
once a year. A charge will be levied for this service.
◗If using a remote control that takes button-type batteries, keep these
button-type batteries out of the reach of chil dren. Batteries are choking
hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed.
◗If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
◗The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor. If the lamp
breaks, immediately ventilate the room to prevent the gases that are
released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into
contact with the eyes or mouth.
◗Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, in order to
prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being
inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
◗If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a new lamp, contact
the place of purchase or see Where to Get Help
for information on
replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass may get
scattered around inside the projector.
