Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:

❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between

3 and 42 feet from the screen.

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

under the projector.

❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of the image source.

❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.

The projector supports 5 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the correct

Projection option from the Setting menu after you turn

it on.

Table

desired setting appears on the screen.

Aspect ratio mode Description

Normal Normal mode maintains the aspect ratio of the

image source and the images are projected onto a 16:9 screen area. When 4:3 images are being projected, black bands appear on the sides.

Squeeze Use this setting if the video source has a 16:9

output mode. If images in Squeeze mode are viewed on a 4: 3 TV screen, the images are compressed. But when Squeeze mode is selected on the projector, the images are projected correctly in their native wide-screen (16 :9) format.

When images output in 4 : 3 format are projected using the projector’s Squeeze mode, they are elongated horizontally.

Zoom In Zoom mode, images output in 4 : 3 format are

cropped at the top and bottom by a set amount and then projected in a 16 : 9 format.

Through If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720 or less,

the images are projected with the resolution unchanged. The size of the displayed images depends on the input resolution.

Squeeze Through If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720 or less,

the input signal resolution is elongated horizontally and the images are projected at an aspect ratio of 16:9. The size of the displayed images will change depending on the input resolution.

Projector Remote control

Note: You can also change the color mode through the Video menu.

Selecting the Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio is the ratio between an image’s length and its height. Standard images have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9. If your video source is 16:9, the projector displays it in its native ratio. If it is 4 : 3, you can choose the best mode for projecting it.

Press the

Aspect button on the control panel or the remote

control to select one of the following aspect ratios. The current setting appears on the screen each time the ratio changes.

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.) 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:

❏ You are too far away—not within 32 feet (9 meters)—or not

within 30° to the left or right of the front or rear sensor or 15° above or below it

❏ Batteries are weak or not installed correctly ❏ Ambient light is too bright ❏ A fluorescent light is shining into the infrared receiver ❏ A strong light source (such as direct sunlight) shines into the

infrared receiver

❏ Other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such as

a radiant room heater)

The remote control buttons are shown in the following illustration.

Cleaning or 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 allow it to cool down.

2. Turn off the switch on the back of the projector.

3. Unplug the power cord.

4. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.

5. 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 the filter is broken, replace it. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United States to obtain a new one. In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.

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.

6. If you need to replace the filter, lift the latch to remove the filter.

Lift the latch

7. To install the new filter, first insert the tabs, then press on the latch until it clicks in place.

Replacing the Lamp

The projection lamp typically lasts for about 3000 hours of use. It is time to replace the lamp when:

❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate. ❏ The lamp warning light is red or flashing orange. ❏ The message

LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when

the lamp comes on (after about 2900 hours of use). To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

Note: You can check to see how many hours the lamp has been used through the About menu.

Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United States for a replacement lamp. Request part number V13H010L17. In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.

Warning: Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury. In the unlikely event that the bulb has ruptured, small glass fragments may be present and should be removed with caution.

If your projector is mounted on the ceiling, you should unmount it before accessing the lamp compartment. This will make it easier for you to replace the lamp and minimize the chance of any small glass fragments dropping from the projector.
