Direct Power On
You can make the projector turn on and be ready to project images simply by connecting the power cable. You can also turn the power on for projectors in places such as meeting rooms where the power is centrally controlled, simply by turning the power on at the central control point. s
Easy Quick Start Operation (2)
The following easy setup buttons are located at the top of the projector's control panel. Projected images can be quickly and easily adjusted to the optimum images just by pressing these buttons.
Direct Power Off
You can turn the power straight off without pressing the [Power] button. This lets you turn the power off when the projector is in a meeting room and you operate a breaker switch to centrally turn off the power. s
After turning the projector off, you can disconnect the power cable right away to move the projector.
You can also turn the power on to restart the projector immediately after turning it off.
Easy Quick Start Operation (1)
When projection starts, automatic focus operates straight away so that the images are correctly focused.
The keystone distortion that occurs as result of the projector being tilted upward or downward can be automatically corrected. s
Quick Setup - Optimising the Projection Screen at a Single Touch - s
The following functions are carried out all at once to optimise the projection area. You can also set which functions are carried out at this time.
• Auto focus
Adjusts the focus.
• Auto Quick Corner
This adjusts distorted images that are projected from the side so that they are rectangular (4:3 aspect ratio). If using a projection screen (4:3), the images can fit the screen area exactly.
• Wall Shot
Even if you don't have a screen, you can project images onto some other surfaces without loss of image color. The projector automatically adjusts images to their natural colours even when projecting onto surfaces like blackboards and walls.
Source Search - Easy Selection of Projection Images - s
This detects image signals from connected equipment. You can change the projected images each time the button is pressed.
Zoom - Easy Adjustment of Image Size - s p.40
You can adjust the size of the projected images simply by pressing a button.

Network Support
When something goes wrong with the projector, such as lamp blowing during projection, the projector can notify you of the error via e-mail.
In addition, if you are using
EMP-835, EasyMP allows you to;
• Make easy network connection with a computer via a wireless
LAN.
• Project a computer's image over a network.
sFor instructions on how to use EasyMP, refer to EasyMP Network Setup
Guide and
EasyMP Operation Guide
.
Operation Lock
You can lock the buttons on the projector's control panel and the remote control.
This function is useful at times such as during show events so that only projection is carried out deactivating all buttons operation, or in places such as schools to limit the range of buttons that can be operated. And locking the remote control buttons is useful to prevent errors in operation while giving
Large-volume USB Storage is Available to Use
(EMP-835 only)
As well as a USB-compatible digital camera, you can use a USB-compatible hard disc and a USB-compatible memory device. This allows you to make a
presentation in a scenario with large memory. s p.30

Caution
Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way.
3
Replace the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover in until the tab clicks into place.

Before Using the Remote Control
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.
• If it is within a total of about 10 m (30 ft.) in the distance from the remote control to the screen and from the screen to the projector, the remote control may work by pointing it towards the screen because the signals are reflected by the screen and sent to the projector.
However, the operating range varies depending on the status of the screen.
• If you would like to ensure that remote control operations work properly from a distance, use the optional remote control cable set to connect the [Remote] port of the remote control to the projector's
[Remote] port.

Adjusting the Position and Size of the Projection Area
Adjusting the Vertical Position of the Projection Area
(Foot Adjustment)
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 projector.
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 12° upwards and 4° downwards.
Caution
Do not tilt the projector any more than 12° upwards or 4 ° downwards from the horizontal. If the projector is tilted to much, it may fall down or tip over and injury may result.
TIP
If the projector is tilted vertically, the automatic vertical keystone correction will operate to automatically correct distortion of the projected images.
Auto V-Keystone is carried out approximately one second after projection starts. A vertical keystone correction gauge is displayed while adjustment is in progress.
However, automatic vertical keystone correction will not work in the following cases
• When the "Projection" configuration menu is set to a setting other than "Front"
• When keystone correction has been carried out using Auto Quick
Corner or Quick Corner to fit the images within a border
PROCEDURE

One-touch Adjustment of the Projection Area
(Quick Setup)
Whenever projectors were moved from one place to another, it was usually necessary to adjust the focus, zoom and keystone distortion each time the projector was set up in its new position. This projector lets you make the following adjustments simply by pressing the [Quick Setup] button so that optimum images can be obtained.
• Focus adjustment for projected images (Auto Focus)
• Keystone correction for projected images (Auto Quick Corner)
This automatically corrects horizontal distortion of the projection area that occurs when the projector is tilted, and projects the image at an aspect ratio of 4:3. If using a screen (horizontal to vertical ratio is 4:3) for projection, this function can be used so that the projection area exactly fits the size of the screen.
• Colour correction for projected images (Wall Shot)
This automatically adjusts the image colours so that natural colours can be obtained even when the projection area is not white in colour (such as a blackboard or wall). Furthermore, it can be used to make shading adjustments to match the brightness of the room.
Press to zoom out
TIP
• You can use the "Quick Setup Options" in the configuration menu to set which functions are carried out when the [Quick Setup] button is pressed.
Default setting: Auto Focus and Auto Quick Corner are carried out.
Wall Shot is not carried out.
s"Setting" - "Quick Setup" - "Quick Setup Options"
• "Wall Shot" can also be carried out separately by pressing the [Wall

TIP
• You can cancel Quick Setup operation at any time by pressing the [Esc] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel.
• When Auto Quick Corner detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen, whiteboard or blackboard.
*1 *2
When 3 or more sides are detected
When top and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides are detected
The Auto Quick Corner works properly by doing the following beforehand.
*1 When the "Projection" menu is set to "Front", adjust the projection area so that the top edge of the screen frame is inside the area.
*2 When the "Projection" menu is set to "Front/Ceiling", adjust the projection area so that the bottom edge of the screen frame is inside the area.
When no border is detected
When the frame is horizontally long
• When running Auto Quick Corner, always be sure to adjust so that the top edge of the screen is inside the projection area. If the top edge of the screen is outside the projection area, correction will not be carried out correctly.
• Auto Quick Corner can provide effective correction when the borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as a white screen with black borders. If the borders of the projection area do not stand out clearly, correction may not be carried out correctly. If projecting onto a surface such as a blackboard, drawing a white box with chalk as a border, or attaching a sheet of paper as projection area may help the correct adjustment.
• Auto Quick Corner can be used to carry out correction within the ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly.
Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the correction range will become narrower than the angles given below.
· When correcting to within a border
Vertically: Approx. 40°Horizontally: Approx. 20°
· When projecting onto a surface without a border
Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 15°
• If the distance from the projector to the screen is more than
7.5m,(24.6 ft.) Auto Focus and Auto Quick Corner may not work
correctly. In such cases, adjust the focus manually. s"Adjusting
Projected Images Manually"
• Auto Focus and Auto Quick Corner use sensors in order to work.
These sensors may not work correctly depending on factors such as the condition of the projection surface and the effects of external light. If this happens, make the adjustments manually.

Functions for Enhancing Projection
This section describes the various useful functions that can be used to enhance presentations.
Selecting an Image Source While Viewing Projected
Images (Preview Function)
You can momentarily project images from the currently-selected input source, and switch images while viewing them in a preview screen.
Use the remote control to carry out all preview function operations.
PROCEDURE
1
Press the [Preview] button on the remote control.
After a short while, a preview screen such as the one shown in the illustration below will appear on the screen.
When the preview screen is being displayed, the frames for ports that have no image signal being input or which have a signal being input that is not supported will be solid blue.
Once you select an input source by pressing any of the Search buttons on the remote control, the preview function is terminated and the selected image is projected.

TIP
• You can hear the sound for the images in the active window while the preview window is being displayed.
• Images other than the image in the active window will be projected as still images.
• If you press the [Preview] button while E-Zoom function is active or real display is being used, these functions will be cancelled and the preview screen will be displayed. If you cancel the preview function without changing the input source, the projected images will return to the state they were at before the preview function was activated.
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 86–750 cm (2.8–24.6 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.

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

· If the zoom has been adjusted to "W"
• 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. If the text part of the image is blurred after keystone correction is carried out, decrease the
sharpness setting. s
• 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.

If you are having a problem with the projector, first check the projector's indicators while referring to "Reading the Indicators" below.
Reading the Indicators
The projector is provided with the following three indicators. These indicators notify you of the operating status of the projector.
Indicates the operating status of the projector.
Orange : In the start-up process (The [Power] bottons on the remote control and the projector's control panel are disabled during this period.)
If "Standby Mode" in the configuration menu is set to "Network ON", the start-up process will take about
12 seconds after inserting the power plug into an electrical outlet.
Orange : Standby condition
At this condition, press the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to start a projection
Green : Warm-up is in progress
It takes about 30 seconds for the warm-up. Do not unplug the power cable or turn off the breaker (Direct
Power OFF) while the warm-up is in progress. Doing so may cause an early deterioration of the lamp. For the same reason, the projector is set not to accept the power off by the [Power] button during the warm-up.
Green : Projection in progress
Indicates the projection lamp status.
Indicates the internal temperature status.
The following tables show what the indicators mean and how to remedy the problems that they indicate.

If the lamp is not broken, put it back in and then turn the power on. If the lamp still does not turn on, replace it with a new lamp.
If this does not solve the problem, stop using the projector and disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet. Then contact your dealer or the nearest address provided in the "International
Warranty Conditions" section of the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet.
If the lamp is broken, contact your local dealer for further advice.
(Projection cannot be carried out until the lamp is replaced.)
Check that the lamp and the lamp cover are securely installed. If the lamp or lamp cover is not securely installed, the lamp will not switch on.
The lamp will turn off automatically and projection will stop. Wait for about 5 minutes without operating the projector. After about 5 minutes have elapsed, unplug the power cable and then check the following two points.
•Check that the air filters and air exhaust vent are clear, and that the projector is not positioned
•If the air filters are blocked, clean or replace them. s
When the power cable is plugged back in, the projector will return to its previous state, so press the
[Power] button on either the projector's control panel or the remote control to turn it back on. If the projector continues to overheat even after the above points have been checked, or if the indicators show a problem when the power is turned back on, stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address provided in the

SNMP 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.
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 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).
Subnet mask
SVGA
S-Video
A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
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).
SXGA
Sync.
(Synchronization)
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) × 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
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.
TKIP
time to make it harder to break the encryption code.
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 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.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1600 (horizontal) × 1200 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
UXGA
VGA
WEP
A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
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.
WPA
XGA
YCbCr
YPbPr
encryption method.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
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.

Command List
When a power on command is sent to the projector, the power will turn on and the projector will change to warm-up mode. When the power has turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) will be returned.
When the projector executes a command, it returns a ":" and waits for the next command to be sent.
If command processing terminates with an error, the projector outputs an error message and then returns the ":" code.
