Important Information About Your Projector

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.

Remote Control Information

You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:

There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the projector.

Ambient light is too bright.

Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.

A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.

Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room.

These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following:

The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them.

Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.

Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight.

Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.

If the remote control still does not work properly, remember you can always control your computer-based presentation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above.

Introduction

Your EPSON ® PowerLite ® projector is a brilliant, lightweight, portable projector that allows you to project full-color images and video onto a large screen for presentations. You can connect it simultaneously to three image sources: two computers or workstation sources, plus one video source, such as a VCR, DVD player, camcorder, or digital camera. You can also connect audio for each image source.

Images are displayed in full color (16,770,000 colors) at an SVGA resolution of 800 × 600 pixels on the PowerLite 5350, and an XGA resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels on the PowerLite 7250 and 7350. The projectors support a wide variety of video inputs, from VGA to UXGA with resolutions up to 1600 × 1200. It produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes.

1

Your projector’s two speakers employ a built-in SRS 3D Sound System for rich, powerful audio output. You can even connect an external speaker when further amplification is required.

For your presentations, you can select front, rear, or ceiling projection.

This provides maximum flexibility in choosing the best display method for each environment.

You control your projector through a hand-held remote control unit, with menus provided for image source switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also act as a wireless mouse to control operations on your computer screen during presentations.

Additionally, you can install the projector’s ELP Link IV software to control the projector’s settings from your computer and enhance your presentations with special effects.

Your projector features a new patented SizeWise ™ chip for support of

SVGA, UGA, XGA, and SXGA (PowerLite 5350), and XGA, VGA,

SXGA and UXGA (PowerLite 7250 and 7350) output. No matter what type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.

The projector supports a wide range of computers and workstations:

IBM ® compatible PCs and laptops, Apple ® Macintosh, ® Power

Macintosh, ™ Power Macintosh G3, ™ iMac, ™ and PowerBook ® computers, and workstations such as the Sun ® SPARCstation.

(The PowerLite 5350 is not recommended for use with high-end workstations). The video source can be HDTV, NTSC, PAL, or

SECAM. The projector automatically senses the video format, which can be composite video, S-Video, or component video. See Chapter 7 for details on supported computers and video formats.

1024 pixels is the default resolution for most leading workstations, this capability makes these projectors the best portable solution for the display of workstation video output.

There is no standard for workstation video output. Those workstations that follow the SXGA standard and use the HD15 connector don’t need an adapter cable.

Contact your audio/video dealer for information on connecting your workstation.

Connecting to a Video Source

You can connect a VCR, a camcorder, a laser disc player, DVD player, or any other compatible video image source to your projector.

The projector can receive composite video, S-Video, or component video. Your equipment has composite video if your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack. Your equipment has S-Video if your video source has a four-pin (mini-DIN) video jack. Your equipment has component video if your video source has a three-connector (Y, R-Y,

B-Y) video jack.

Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F connector.

52 1 • Setting Up the Projector

You can connect the projector to an S-Video source, a composite video source, and a component video source at the same time. However, the projector automatically selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite or component video, first disconnect the S-Video source.

The projector supports HDTV, NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats, and automatically detects and identifies the video format.

However, you can specify that a single broadcast format be detected.

(See Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video signal.

The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector depends on whether you have composite video, S-Video, or component video. For composite video, use the audio/video (A/V) cable supplied with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video device or obtain one from your computer or video equipment dealer. For component video, use the BNC type cable that came with your video source. The illustration below shows the S-Video, component, and composite connectors.

Positioning the Projector 67

Focusing and Positioning the Screen Image

When an image appears on screen, check that it is in focus and correctly positioned on the screen. To focus the image, rotate the focus ring (the inside ring on the lens). To adjust the size of the image, rotate the zoom ring (the outside ring). Rotate the zoom ring clockwise to make the screen image larger or counterclockwise to make it smaller.

68 2 • Using the Projector zoom ring focus ring

If you need to raise or lower the image on the screen, extend or retract the two feet at the bottom of the projector as follows:

1. Stand behind the projector and support the front of it while you lift up on the foot adjust levers, located above the feet. This unlocks the adjustable feet so they can move up and down. Don’t let the projector drop.

Caution: Don’t hold or lift the projector by its lens. This can damage the lens.

2. While lifting the levers, raise or lower the projector until the screen image is correctly positioned.

3. Release the levers to lock the feet in their new position.

4. If you want to fine-tune the height of the projector, turn the adjustable feet clockwise to raise the height, and counterclockwise to lower the height.

Note: You can also use the projector’s Keystone function to help get

optimum screen geometry. Press the Keystone button on the control panel to correct up to a ± 20° tilt, maintaining an aspect ratio of 4:3. Using the

ELP Link IV software, you can correct up to a ± 30° tilt.

Maintenance

Y our projector needs little maintenance. You should keep the lens clean because any dirt or smears appear on the screen. You also need to periodically clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and keep it from 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 service person.

135

Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn off the projector 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. Lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove dirt or smears on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-based cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

Cleaning the Projector Case

To clean the projector case, first 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 neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.

Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents.

These can cause the case to warp.

136 5 • Maintenance

Cleaning 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. To clean the air filter, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.

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

Note: Standing the projector with the handle at the top keeps dust from getting inside the projector housing.

3. Pull up on the filter cover tab to release the filter cover. Remove the cover.

4. The filter is attached to the inside of the filter cover. It is recommended that you use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment to clean the filter. If you don’t have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.

If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it.

Contact your dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 in the United States and Canada to obtain a new one.

5. Replace the filter cover when you’re done.

Replacing the Lamp

The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1500 to 2000 hours of use. It is time to replace the lamp when:

The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

The projection lamp light is either red, or flashing orange and red alternately.

The message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when the projection lamp comes on (after about 1500 hours of use). To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

Contact your dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 in the United States and Canada for a replacement lamp. Request part number ELPLP09.

Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass portion of the lamp will result in premature lamp failure.

5 • Maintenance

1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.

2. Turn the projector over so you can access the lamp cover.

3. Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to loosen the two retaining screws on the lamp cover. When the screws are loose, lift off the lamp cover. (You cannot remove these screws from the cover.

Transporting the Projector

The projector contains many glass parts and precision parts. If you need to transport it, please follow these packing guidelines to prevent damaging the projector:

When shipping the projector for repairs, use the original packaging material if possible. If you do not have the original packaging, use equivalent materials, placing plenty of cushioning around the projector.

When transporting the projector for business use, first put the projector in a hard-shell carrying case (such as the optional

EPSON accessory case), then pack it in a firm box, using cushioning around the case.

When you are hand-carrying the projector, be sure to store it in a hard-shell or soft carrying case (such as the optional cases offered by EPSON).

Note: EPSON shall not be liable for any damages incurred during transportation.

Problems with the Projector 145

146

See the following pages for information on what to do when you see these warning lights or encounter other specific problems with the projector.

◗ The power light is flashing orange and you cannot turn on the projector.

The lamp is cooling down. Wait until the light turns off and then turn on the projector.

◗ The power light does not come on.

Turn off the projector, check that the power cable is connected securely both at the power outlet and the projector, and press the

Power button again. Try removing and reseating the lamp.

◗ Projected images get darker or start to deteriorate, or the projection lamp light is red.

Replace the projector lamp as described in Chapter 5.

◗ The temperature light is red.

The projector is overheating, which turns the lamp off automatically.

Let the projector cool for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Make sure nothing is blocking the ventilation vents.

The air filter may be clogged. Clean it as described in Chapter 5 and then let the projector cool for awhile.

If the projector continues to overheat after you clean the air filter, the problem may be caused by damage to the cooling fan or internal circuits. Contact a qualified service person.

Warning: Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself.

6 • Troubleshooting

Problems with the Remote Control

◗ The projector doesn’t respond to remote control commands.

Make sure the remote control is turned on. The RC switch, on the side of the remote control, should be turned to the On position.

The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power. Replace them.

Make sure the projector’s mouse cable is securely connected to both your computer’s mouse port and the projector’s main cable. See

Chapter 1 for details.

Make sure you selected the correct COM (communication) port for the wireless mouse control when you set up the ELP Link IV software.

If necessary, you can change the COM port from the projector’s

Advanced menu. See page 97 for more information.

Light that is too strong, or certain types of fluorescent lighting may affect the projector’s infrared receivers. Dim the ambient lighting and turn off any fluorescent lighting. Move the projector out of direct sunlight.

Turn off any nearby equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater.

Problems with the Remote Control 147

Problems with the Image or Sound

◗ An image does not appear on the screen.

Check that the Power light is on and the lens cover is off. Also make sure the cables are installed correctly, as described in Chapter 1.

The correct image source may not be selected. Press the Computer button on the control panel or the Comp1, Video, or BNC button on the remote control to choose another image source.

◗ Only part of the computer image is displayed.

PowerLite 5350, the image is resized. (See page 70 for information on resizing.)

If the computer output is not compatible with this resizing, choose a different display setting as follows.

Windows:

In Windows 3.x, use Windows Setup in the Main program group. In

Windows 95/98, right-click on the desktop, select Properties, click the Settings tab, and use the dialog box to select the resolution you want.

Displays” on page 156.

You also may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them for a different resolution. See your software manual for specific information.

◗ The message NO SIGNAL is displayed.

An image source not connected to the projector is selected, the signal is not being output from the computer, or the signal is not reaching the projector. Make sure the connectors are securely attached to both the projector and the image source. Then check that the image source is selected correctly. If your projector is attached to a Macintosh, make sure that the DIP switches on your Macintosh desktop adapter are set correctly. (See your Macintosh documentation if you need instructions.) When NO SIGNAL is displayed, you cannot access the

Video menu.

◗ A blank screen is displayed.

The computer signal cannot be interpreted by the projector. Verify the display format (see page 156). When you see a blank screen, you cannot access the projector menus.

Problems with the Image or Sound 149

◗ The image or parts of the image are blurred or not in focus.

Adjust the Brightness and Contrast settings on the Video menu. If you’re viewing a computer image, also try adjusting the Tracking and

Sync buttons on the projector’s control panel.

There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 136.

◗ The image quality is poor on a laptop computer.

The video signal may be split between the computer and the projector.

If you notice a decline in the projected image quality when the image is displayed simultaneously on your laptop computer and the projector, turn off the laptop LCD display.

◗ The colors of the image are not right.

The color balance may be incorrect. If you’re displaying a computer image, use the Color option in the Video menu to adjust the balance of red, green, and blue. If you’re displaying video, adjust the

Saturation and Tint (NTSC only) settings on the Video menu.

Check your monitor’s color balance if you’re displaying a computer image.

150 6 • Troubleshooting

◗ There is no sound.

First check that the volume setting is not turned all the way down and that the audio/video cable is securely attached to both the projector and the audio source. Also, make sure that the A/V Mute button is not enabled.

The wrong source is selected. Press the Computer button on the control panel to select the proper source.
