It may be possible to project signals which are not listed above. However, not all functions may be supported with such signals.
EPSON PowerLite S1 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 37 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 4 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
Convenient for temporary front projection. Choose the menu.
Ceiling
Professional installation recommended. Choose from the menu.
Rear
For permanent installation behind a translucent screen. Choose from the menu.

Image Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. Because other adjustments—such as those made with the
Keystone buttons—also affect the size of the image, the
Aspect and
numbers shown in the illustration should be considered for general guidelines, not exact measurements.
Use the formulas given below to either 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 when 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 both the minimum and maximum sizes.
To determine the diagonal size of an image when you know the projection distance:
Maximum diagonal size = (0.8488 × projection distance) +
0.90242
Minimum diagonal size = ((0.8488 × projection distance) +
0.90242) × 0.8071
To determine the projection distance when you know the diagonal size of the screen image:
Maximum projection distance = (diagonal size × 2.9924) -
2.7004/2.54
Minimum projection distance = ((diagonal size × 2.9924) -
2.7004/2.54)/0.8071
If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need to adjust the image shape. See page 7.

Switching Between Picture Sources

Adjusting the Image

The following sections describe how to adjust the image once it is displayed.

Adjusting the Height of the Image

The projector should be as perpendicular to the screen as possible. If the image is too low, you can raise it by extending the projector’s front feet.
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release buttons and lift the front of the projector. This unlocks the feet.
Foot release button
You can connect the projector to multiple video sources simultaneously. Then you use the buttons on the projector or remote control to switch between them:
Press the
Source button on the projector to switch between
computer or component video, S-video, and composite video sources.
On the remote control, press the
Computer button to
select a computer or component video source. Press the
Video/S-Video button to select a composite or S-Video
source.
After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the image appears. The name of the source appears briefly on the screen.
2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the buttons to lock the feet in place.
3. If you need to straighten the image, rotate the feet to raise or lower the sides.
If the image is no longer square after raising it, see page 7.

Focusing the Image

Rotate the focus ring to sharpen the image.

There is an internal problem with the projector. Unplug it from the electrical outlet and contact EPSON for help.

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 20 feet away. (This distance may be shorter if the remote control batteries are low.)
The projector may not respond to remote control commands in these conditions:
You are too far away—not within 20 feet (6 meters)—or not
within 30° to the left or right of the front or rear sensor or 15° above or below it
The battery is weak or not installed correctly

Replacing Remote Control Batteries

When the battery in the remote control or presentation remote control runs out, follow the steps below to replace it. Each remote requires one CR2025 lithium battery.
1. Remove the battery holder.
Press here and slide out battery holder
2. Remove the old battery and insert the new one. Make sure
the
+ side of the battery is facing up, as shown.
New battery

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
To remove dust, use a canister of compressed air to spray the
lens surface, or lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
To remove dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper. If
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-based cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution: Do not rub the lens with harsh material or subject it to shocks, as it can be easily damaged.

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 outside with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth.

Replacing the Lamp

SM
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 error light on top of the projector is flashing red
in 0.5-second intervals.
The message
the projector lamp comes on (after about 1900 hours of use). To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible after you see the message.
Request replacement lamp part number V13H010125.
Note:
To view the number of hours your lamp has been used, check the About menu.
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.
