Positioning the Projector
Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to place it. The location you choose depends on the size of the room and what you are projecting.
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
2.9 and 34.4 feet from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Leave at least 8 inches between the projector and a wall.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of your computer and/or video source.
❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image will not be rectangular.
Note
It’s easier to position the projector when the screen is directly in front of the room. If the screen is placed diagonally in a corner, it’s much more difficult to aim the projector correctly at the screen and get a rectangular image.
Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you have adjusted the image size with other settings.
30.1 to 34.4 feet 5.9 to 6.8 feet 2.9 to 3.4 feet
To calculate exact measurements, use the following formulas:
❏ To find the projection distance when you know the screen’s diagonal dimension:
Wide (inches) = ((3.0625 × diagonal screen size [inches]) –
2.4655) / 2.54
Tele (inches) = ((3.5063 × diagonal screen size [inches]) –
2.0063) / 2.54
❏ To find how large a screen’s diagonal dimension will be when you know the projection distance:
Wide (inches) = (Projection distance [inches] × 0.82937) +
0.80505
Tele (inches) = (Projection distance [inches] × 0.7244) +
0.57219
If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the projector upward causes the image to lose its rectangular shape, but the Auto Keystone feature corrects the distortion automatically. If the image does not regain its rectangular shape, the Auto Keystone feature may have been disabled. To turn it on, see page 6.
10/03 EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector - 3
EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector
If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen, the image will be rectangular and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen, the image will still be rectangular, but you won’t be able to fill the whole screen with the image.
3. Press the P Power button on top of the projector or on the remote control.
Starting Up the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described below.
If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually (as described on page 5).
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.

Caution
Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat generated by the lamp can damage the cap.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power inlet. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
The power light on top of the projector turns orange, indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet turned on. Wait until the light stops flashing, but stays lit orange.
Projector Remote control
The power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and the projection lamp comes on in about 30 seconds. The power light stays green.
Warning
Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.
❏ If you’re using a computer, turn it on or restart it. In a few moments, you should see your computer display projected.
(Windows ® only: If you see a message saying that it has found a plug-and-play monitor, click Cancel .)
❏ If you’re projecting a video source, turn it on (if it is not already on). If you don’t see the image, press the Source button on top of the projector or the S-Video/Video button on the remote control to switch to your video source. (If a component video source is connected to one of the projector’s Computer/Component Video ports, press the Computer button to select the source.) Then press the Play button on your DVD player or other device.
❏ If you are prompted to enter a password, see “Starting the
Projector with a Password” on page 10.

6. Press Menu to close the Password Protect menu.
If you lose the remote control, you will not be able to enter the password; so keep the remote control in a safe place at all times.

“Storing the Remote Control” on page 8.
Starting the Projector with a Password
When the password function is enabled, you see this screen when you turn on the projector:
Use the numeric keypad buttons to enter the password. Once you have entered the password correctly, the password screen closes, and projection begins.
If the password is not correct, you see the message “Wrong password. Please try again.” If you enter an incorrect password three times in succession, you see the message “The projector’s operation will be locked. Request code xxxxx” and the projector switches to standby mode for approximately 5 minutes. Write down the request code. Then disconnect the projector’s power cord from the electrical outlet, reconnect it, and turn the projector back on.
When you see the Password Protect Release screen again, you can try to enter the correct password.
If you have forgotten the password, contact EPSON with the request code number that appears in the Password Protect
Release screen for assistance.
If you enter an incorrect password nine times in a row, the projector remains locked and you must contact EPSON to unlock it.

Description
There is an internal error in the projector. Turn the projector off and unplug it.
Contact EPSON for help.
The lamp is burned out or not installed correctly, or the lamp cover is open.
Close the cover or replace or reseat the lamp, if necessary, as described on page 12.
The projector has overheated and turned itself off. Let it cool for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Make sure there is plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation. Also clean the air filter (see page 11).
If it continues to overheat, you may need to replace the air filter.
The projector is too hot.
Make sure the temperature surrounding the projector does not exceed 95
°
F and there is plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation. Clean the air filter, if necessary. See page 11 for instructions.
The projector is in standby or sleep mode. You can unplug it or press the P
Power button to turn it on.
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.
Caution
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens.
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, lintfree 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.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter on 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. When the filter is clogged, the projector displays the message “The projector is overheated.”
To clean the air filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the power cord.

EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector
2. Turn the projector upside-down, as shown below.
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).
5. Install the new filter as shown below.
6. Replace the filter cover by inserting the tabs and then pressing down the other end until it clicks into place.
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 to obtain a new one. The air filter set (part number
V13H134A05) contains five filters. In Canada, please call
