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 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.

Setting Up the Projector

This chapter tells you how to set up the projector and connect it to a

computer or video source. You can connect up to three devices
simultaneously: three video sources, or one computer and two video
sources.

You’ll find instructions for the following in this chapter:

■ Positioning the projector

■ Connecting to a computer

■ Connecting to video sources

Downloaded From projector-manual.com Epson Manuals

16 Setting Up the Projector

Positioning the Projector

Before connecting the projector, you
need to decide where to place it. If
you’re setting up the projector yourself
and it isn’t already installed in the
room you’re using, you’ll probably
want to place it on a table in front of
the screen, as shown.

This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and
remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to
leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to
get a good-size image.

Place the projector somewhere between 3 and 30 feet from the screen.
Use the figure below to help you determine exactly how far. Image size
increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you’ve
adjusted the optical zoom and other settings.

Setting Up the Projector 17

Also keep these considerations in mind:

■ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.

■ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and

under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose
papers that could block the vents under the projector.

■ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (2 m) of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord.

Try to place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen,
facing it toward the screen squarely. If the projector isn’t positioned
this way, the image will be “keystone” shaped, instead of square or
rectangular.

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll have to
tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot, as described on
page 39. This also causes the image to lose its rectangular shape. You
can adjust the shape using the buttons on the projector (see page 39),
or using the projector’s menu system (see page 61).

On the PowerLite 77c, the Auto Keystone feature corrects the
distortion automatically. See page 62 for more information about
Auto Keystone correction. If necessary, you can adjust the image
shape manually as described on page 39.

Other Installations

You can also project from behind the screen or from the ceiling, with
the projector mounted upside-down:

18 Setting Up the Projector

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mount
hardware. (See page 14 for ordering information.) You’ll also need to
select

Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling for the Projection option in the

Extended menu. To project from the rear, select

Rear. See page 63 for

more information.

Connecting to a Computer

You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a
standard VGA or BNC monitor port, including PC notebook and
laptop computers, Macintosh PowerBooks and iBooks, and hand-held
devices.

Follow the instructions in this section to:

■ Connect the projector to your computer with the VGA cable

included with the projector.

■ Connect the projector to your computer with a commercially

available VGA–5BNC cable.

After connecting the projector to your computer, you may also
want to:

■ Connect a USB cable to your projector so that you can use the

remote control as a wireless mouse; see page 21

■ Connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your

presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re
using a laptop); see page 22

■ Connect the projector to your computer with a commercially

available audio cable to play computer audio; see page 23.

note

If you have an iBook with an
RCA video-out port, follow
the instructions for
connecting to a video device
on page 25.

Connecting with the VGA Cable

Follow these instructions to connect to your computer with the VGA
cable that came with your projector. Before you start, make sure your
computer and the projector are turned off.

1. If you are connecting the projector to a desktop computer,
disconnect the monitor cable from your computer.

2. Locate the VGA computer cable that
came with the projector.

Connect one end of the cable to the
projector’s

Computer (Component

Video)

port.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s video-out
or monitor port.

If you’re using a PowerBook or iBook and you can’t connect the
cable, you may need to use an optional Macintosh video adapter;
see your computer dealer.

4. If you want to view the display simultaneously on your computer
monitor and the projector screen, see “Connecting an External
Monitor” on page 22.

5. Tighten the screws on the connectors.

If you don’t need to make any other connections, you can plug in
your projector and turn it on. See page 32 for instructions.

If more than one device is connected to the projector, select the
correct source after projection starts by pressing the

Source Search

button on the projector or remote control. See page 34.

Using the Projector’s Security Features

To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can do the
following:

■ Create an identifying user logo that is displayed at startup and/or

when the

A/V Mute button is pressed

■ Assign a password

■ Disable the projector’s buttons; this is useful, for example, if

you’re projecting in a classroom and you want to ensure that no
one touches the projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote
control

■ Install an anti-theft lock

If you create a user’s logo for the projector, you can lock the logo on so
it is displayed as the startup screen and/or AV/Mute screen.
Unauthorized users cannot turn it off or change it. This feature is
intended to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the
projector should it be stolen.

If you assign the projector a password, a screen appears requesting the
password whenever the projector is turned on. If you enter the
password incorrectly three times in succession, the projector’s
operation is locked and you’ll need to disconnect the power cord, then
reconnect it to redisplay the password screen. If an incorrect password
is entered 30 times in a row, the projector is locked and you’ll need to
contact Epson to unlock it. See “Where To Get Help” on page 93.

When you enable the Operation Lock feature, all of the projector’s
buttons are disabled except the P

Power button.

Maintenance and
Transportation

Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a

regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may
show up on your projected image.

You may need to clean the air filter and air vents. A clogged air filter
or air vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and
cause overheating.

The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.

This chapter covers the following:

■ Cleaning the lens

■ Cleaning the projector case

■ Cleaning and replacing the air filter

■ Replacing the lamp

■ Resetting the lamp timer

■ Transporting the projector

warning

Before you clean any part of
the projector, turn it off 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 User’s Guide. Refer all
other servicing to qualified
service personnel.

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.

Cleaning the Projector Case

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 mild detergent. Then wipe the case.

■ Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other

chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

caution

Do not use glass cleaner to
clean the lens.

Maintenance and Transportation 75

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance. If
dust collects on the air filter or vent on the bottom of the projector,
clean them as described below. Dust clogs prevent proper ventilation
and can cause overheating and damage the projector.

When the filter and vent are clogged, the projector displays the
message

The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is

blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter.

To clean the air filter and air intake vent, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the
power cord.

2. To clean the filter and vent, Epson recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean them using a very
soft brush (such as an artist’s paintbrush).

You can remove the air filter to clean both sides.

If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it.
Contact your dealer or call Epson at [phone] to obtain a
new one (part number V13H134A13).

Replacing the Lamp

The projection lamp typically lasts for about 3000 hours of use
(in high brightness mode) or 4000 hours (in low brightness mode). It
is time to replace the lamp when:

■ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

■ The lamp light is flashing orange.

■ The message Replace the Lamp appears on the screen when the

lamp comes on. To maintain projector brightness and image
quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

Contact your dealer or call Epson at [phone] for a
replacement lamp. Request part number V13H010L41.

Follow these steps to replace the lamp:

1. Press the P

Power button twice to turn off the projector. When

you hear the projector beep twice, unplug the power cord.
