Some examples of the projector's many useful functions include:

• Projecting images from a computer connected via a network.

• Automatically sending email notifications if errors occur with the projector, such as if the lamp cuts out during projection.

Before using EasyMP, refer to the EasyMP

Setup Guide and EasyMP

Operation Guide.

Position adjustment function for a variety of projection screens

Images can be projected regardless of the location.

• The keystone distortion that occurs as a result of the projector being tilted using the front adjustable foot can be corrected.

(Automatic keystone correction

p.46

)

• The keystone distortion that occurs when projecting from the side of the screen can also be corrected.

(Vertical correction and horizontal

correction )

EMP-7850 User’s Guide

• If vertical keystone correction causes the height of projected images to be too short, the height of the projection area can also be adjusted. (Height correction

p.48

)

• The Quick Corner function can be used to correct the four corners of the projection area to make the images fit the screen exactly.

p.49

Wall Shot

Images can be projected in places without a screen with no loss of original colour.

This automatically adjusts image colours to their natural colours even when projecting onto surfaces such as blackboards and partitions.

p.51

Colour mode function

Optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following five preset settings according to the projection environment being used. No other colour adjustments are necessary.

Before Using the Remote Control

Inserting the Batteries

The batteries are not already inserted into the remote control at the time the projector is purchased. You will need to insert the batteries that are provided with the projector before the remote control can be used.

CAUTION

Be sure to read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the batteries.


11

2

Insert the batteries.

Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way.

PROCEDURE

1

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing down on the rib of the battery cover, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

Rib

3

Replace the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover in until the tab clicks into place.

TIP

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. If this happens, replace the batteries with two new AA alkali batteries.


Using the Remote Control and Remote Operating

Range

Using the Remote Control

The remote control is used in the following way.

PROCEDURE

1

Set the [R/C] switch of the remote control to "ON".


12

TIP

• Do not allow sunlight or light from fluorescent lamps to shine directly onto the projector's remote control light-receiving areas, otherwise it may interfere with the reception of signals from the remote control.

• When not using the remote control, set the [R/C] switch on the remote control to "OFF". If you leave the [R/C] switch at "ON", it will consume battery power.

• If a button on the remote control is pressed down for more than 1 minute while the [R/C] switch is at "ON", the signal for that button operation will stop being transmitted (the remote control will change to sleep mode). The purpose of this is to prevent the batteries from being consumed due to something being placed on top of the remote control.

When the button is released, normal remote control operation will resume.

2

Point the remote control light-emitting area towards one of the remote control light-receiving areas on the projector and operate the remote control buttons.

Adjusting the Screen Image


42

You can correct and adjust the screen images in order to obtain the best possible pictures.

Adjusting the Image Size (Zoom Function)

The size of the projected images is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen.

p.15

The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen images once the projector itself has been set up.

TIP

The E-Zoom function can also be used to enlarge parts of the images.

p.63

Focusing the Screen Images (Focus Adjustment)

PROCEDURE

Turn the focus ring to adjust the image focus.

PROCEDURE

Turn the zoom ring on the projector to adjust the image.

If a standard lens is fitted, the images can be enlarged in this way to

1.35 times the normal size.

If you would like to enlarge the images further, move the projector further away from the screen.

p.15

Turn to "T" to reduce the size

TIP

• If the surface of the lens is dirty or misted over as a result of condensation, it may not be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If this happens, clean or de-mist the lens.

p.103

, p.119

• If using the standard lens and the projector is positioned outside the normal projecting range of 77–1113 cm (2.5–36.5 ft.), it may not be possible to obtain the correct focus. If you have trouble obtaining the correct focus, check the projection distance. If an optional lens is fitted, refer to the documentation for the optional lens for further details.

Turn to "W" to increase the size

Zoom ring


Adjusting the Image Angle

If the projector is set up so that it is at a horizontal or vertical angle to the screen, adjust as follows.

Tilting the projector vertically with respect to the screen

If the images are being projected onto a screen that is higher than the position of the projector, extend the front adjustable foot to tilt the

If the images are being projected onto a screen that is lower than the position of the projector, lift up the back of the projector to tilt it.

When the projector is tilted in this way, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the images. If this happens, you can use the keystone correction function to correct this distortion.

p.46


43

When projecting from the side of the screen

If the projector cannot be set up directly in front of the screen, you can project images at a horizontal angle to the screen. If keystone distortion appears in the images, you can use the projector's "H-Keystone" and

"Quick Corner" functions to correct this keystone distortion.

p.47

,

p.49


44


Adjusting the Feet

The front adjustable foot and the rear adjustable feet can be extended and retracted to adjust the tilt of the projector to a maximum of 12º upwards and 4º downwards.

TIP

If you use the front adjustable foot and the rear adjustable feet to adjust the tilt of the projector, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the projected images. If this happens, the Auto Keystone function will operate to automatically project images without keystone

distortion.

p.45

PROCEDURE

While pulling the foot adjust lever at the front of the projector, lift up the front of the projector to extend the front adjustable foot.

Extend the front adjustable foot until the desired angle is obtained, and then release the foot adjust lever.

To retract the front adjustable foot, gently push down on the projector while pulling the foot adjust lever.

TIP

If the projector is tilted vertically or horizontally, turn the bases of the rear adjustable feet to make fine adjustments to the height of the projector. When the projector is tilted horizontally, the automatic keystone correction may not be carried out correctly.

Rear adjustable foot

Extend Retract

Foot adjust lever (Front)


Manually Correcting Keystone Distortion

This projector is equipped with an automatic keystone correction function that detects the vertical angle of the projector during projection and automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. If you would like to make further fine adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, or when the projector is tilted horizontally, you can carry out keystone correction manually.

TIP

If the projector is tilted within a range of approximately 30º up or down, keystone correction is carried out automatically. If the projector is tilted within a range of approximately 40º up or down or

20º to the left or right, manual keystone correction can be carried out.

However, the applicable angles will change under the following conditions.

• If the projector has been tilted both horizontally and vertically

• If an optional projection lens has been fitted

• When the zoom is set to "W"


45

This projector is equipped with the following two keystone correction functions. Use whichever function is appropriate for the keystone distortion that appears.

• Auto Keystone/H/V-Keystone

Automatic keystone automatically corrects keystone distortion when the projected images are vertically distorted.

H/V-Keystone can be used to make fine adjustments to the results of automatic keystone correction and to correct horizontal keystone distortion.

The keystone correction function lets you easily correct keystone distortion that has occurred after moving the projector, simply by using buttons on the projector's control panel.

See "Automatic keystone correction"

p.46

, "Vertical correction and

horizontal correction"

p.47

, "Height Correction"

p.48

• Quick Corner:

This correction function is used when both horizontal and vertical keystone distortion occurs in the projection area to adjust the projection area so that it fits the screen exactly.

p.49


TIP

• The "Auto Keystone", "H/V-Keystone" and "Quick Corner" functions cannot both be used together to correct keystone distortion.

If you use one function to correct keystone distortion, any correction that has been applied using the other function will be cancelled.

• The larger the angle of tilt, the poorer the focus of the contours in the projected images will become.

• If a large amount of keystone correction is applied, fine details such as text characters and lines may go out of focus.

• Keystone corrections that have been applied using the keystone correction functions are memorised even when the projector's power is turned off. If you have changed the projection position or angle, you will need to repeat the correction procedure.

• "H-Keystone" and "Height" cannot be used at the same time.

• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected images will become smaller. Use the zoom function to adjust the size of the images if necessary.

p.42

• If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness.

p.76

,

p.79


46

Automatic keystone correction

When the projector has been tilted vertically, automatic keystone correction is carried out so that images with no distortion are projected.

Automatic keystone correction is carried out approximately one second after the projector is set up and projection starts. A vertical keystone correction gauge appears on the screen while automatic adjustment is in progress.

TIP

• Automatic keystone correction is not carried out if "Rear Proj." or

"Ceiling" in the "Advanced1" menu is set to "ON", or if the projection area has been corrected manually using the "Quick

Adjusting the Image Quality

The quality of the projected images can be adjusted as follows.

Projecting Easy-to-see Images Without a Screen

(Wall Shot)

When the Wall Shot function is used, images can be projected without loss of original colour even onto surfaces such as blackboards and coloured wall surfaces which are being used instead of a screen. For example, if projecting onto a green blackboard, the projected images would normally appear greenish and be very difficult to see. The Wall Shot function uses a sensor to measure the condition of the projection surface and automatically adjusts the colour of the projected images based on these measurements.

The Wall Shot function also allows shading to be adjusted. If projecting onto a screen that is located near a window, the Wall Shot function can be used to obtain clear images when they might otherwise appear faded.

TIP

• Wall Shot can be used for adjustment if the projection distance is within approximately 80–1000 cm (2.6–32.8 ft.). However, this distance will vary depending on the condition of the projected surface, for instance if the projection surface is an extremely reflective surface such as a whiteboard, or if it is a highly nonreflective surface such as a dark wall.

• The sensor may not be able to correctly measure the condition of the projection surface if you are projecting on a striped or patterned wall. In this event, Wall Shot may not be able to correctly adjust the color of the projected images.


51

PROCEDURE

The Wall Shot function can be operated using either the remote control or the projector's control panel.

1

Press the [Wall Shot] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel while the images are being projected.

When the button is pressed, the current status is displayed on the screen.

Remote control

Wall Shot ON


52


2

To change the status, press the [Wall Shot] button while the status is being displayed on the screen.

For example, if you press the [Wall Shot] button while "Wall

Shot OFF" is displayed, the status will change to "Wall Shot

ON" and measurement of the projection surface will start.

Colours in the order red

→ green → blue → black will be projected for approximately five seconds while measurement is in progress.

3

Once the measurement is finished and colour correction is complete, the images will be projected in the corrected condition.

To cancel the correction, press the [Wall Shot] button while

"Wall Shot ON" is being displayed on the screen so that "Wall

Shot OFF" is selected.

TIP

• When the projector's power is turned off, images will be projected next time with the status set to "Wall Shot OFF". However, the correction values that were obtained by the previous measurement operation will be stored even when the power is turned off.

If projecting in the same location as before, you can retrieve the colour correction values that were used previously (the five seconds required for readjustment will not be necessary).

The status will change as follows each time the [Wall Shot] button is pressed.

Wall Shot OFF Wall Shot ON

Wall Shot Memory Call

When "Wall Shot retrieval" is selected, the previous adjustment values are retrieved.

• If you change the projection location or change the condition of the projection surface, you should repeat the Wall Shot measurements.

If you press the [Wall Shot] button twice while "Wall Shot ON" is being displayed, "Wall Shot Readjustment" will be displayed and adjustment will then start.

TIP

• If you adjust the sync without adjusting the tracking first, it will not be possible to get the best adjustment results. Incorrect tracking adjustment may not be noticeable with some types of image.

However, images with lots of lines and shading will tend to show incorrect tracking adjustments more clearly, so be sure to check the tracking adjustment first.

• It may also be possible to fix flickering and fuzziness by adjusting

the brightness, contrast , sharpness and keystone correction

settings.


56


Selecting the Projection Quality

(Colour Mode Selection)

The following five preset colour modes are available for use depending on the characteristics of the images that are being projected.

Changing the Resize/Aspect Ratio

When using EasyMP, the display cannot be switched between resized display and real display and the aspect ratio cannot be changed.

Selecting the Computer Display Method

When projecting computer images, the display method can be changed between resized display (in which the images are projected so that they fill the available projection area) and real display (in which the images are projected at the resolution of the original input signal).

When projecting computer images, the default method used is resized display.

PROCEDURE

The display method switches between real display and resized display each time the [Resize] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel is pressed.

Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which were not explained in the text of this guide itself.

Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.

3-2 pull-down function

5BNC

Aspect ratio

This function directly converts image sources that have been recorded in the same 24-frame format used for movies into 60-frame progressive signals.

This allows data such as DVD software that has been recorded in 24-frame format to be played back on large screens with more natural and accurate reproduction, without any loss of image quality from the original movie.

A port used to input analogue video signals.

The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.

Channel

Colour temperature

Component video

Communication speeds will drop if there are too many devices performing wireless communication using the same frequency. In this case, it is possible to avoid interference from other wireless LANs by setting a wireless channel for each wireless LAN network.

The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a bluish tinge. If the colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.

Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals separated, in order to provide better image quality.

In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and Pr (colour difference signals).

Composite video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats).

The signals consist of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and the chroma (colour) signal which are contained in the colour bar signal.

Contrast

Cool-down

The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".

Use this procedure to cool a projector lamp that is hot from use. Cool- down happens automatically 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 whilst it is cooling down. If the lamp does not cool down properly, heat from the lamp is trapped inside the projector, potentially shortening the life of the lamp and causing projector failure.

MAC is an abbreviation of Media Access Control. The MAC address is an ID number unique to each network card. A unique number is assigned to each network card. Data is transmitted between cards (devices) based on this identification.

A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image.

Progressive

Refresh rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

Resized display

This function is used to project computer images that have a resolution more than or less than the projector's panel resolution to be projected so that they fill the whole of the projection area.

SDTV

Security lock

An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition

Television.

A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

SNMP

Squeeze mode To reduce the width of a 16:9 wide-screen video image, record the video image as 4:3 in the video software. Setting the aspect ratio to 16:9 on the projector will restore the video image to 16:9 wide-screen format. sRGB

An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.

Subnet mask

SVGA

An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.

This is a number which defines, from the IP address, the number of bits used in network addresses of assigned networks (subnets).

A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

S-Video

SXGA

Sync.

(Synchronization)


The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called

"synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.

Tracking

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.

Trap IP address This is the IP address of the messaged computer used for error notification in SNMP.

USB

UXGA

VGA

A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated in order to provide better image quality.

It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (colour signal).

An abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. USB is an interface for connecting personal computers to peripheral devices which only support relatively low data transmission speeds.


WEP

XGA

YCbCr


This is an abbreviation of Wired Equivalent Privacy. This is a security method which encrypts data during transmission.

Data communication cannot be performed unless the sending and receiving machines are registered with the same encryption key by the WEP.


YPbPr

The carrier signal which is contained in the colour bar signal used in modern TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma (colour)) signals.

The carrier signal which is contained in the colour bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y

(luminance) signal and the PbPr (colour difference) signals.

List of ESC/VP21 Commands

Command List

When a power ON command is sent to the projector, the power for the projector turns on. When the projector is in a command ready state, it returns the "3Ah" (:) code.

Furthermore, when command processing is complete, the projector also returns a ":" code.

The ":" code status can be used to determine whether the projector is ready or busy. If command processing terminates with an error, an error message is output and then the ":" code is sent.
