produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms with
enough light to take notes. Audio can be produced from the
projector’s 1W+1W stereo, which employ a built-in SRS 3D
sound® for output that is rich and powerful. An external
speaker can also be connected when further amplification is
required.
A totally new AVTSS™ (Automatic Video Tracking and
Synchronization Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic
set-up of image from a computer.
The projector can be controlled using a hand-held remote
control unit, with menus being provided for image source
switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also
be used as a wireless mouse to control mouse operations on
the computer screen during presentations. The projector
software provides a number of add-on features that are
designed to make presentations more effective.

Connecting to a Video Source
You can use this connection procedure to connect a video
tape deck, a camcorder, a laser disc player or any other
compatible video image source to the projector. The
projector can receive composite video or S-Video signals. If
your video source has a one-pin RCA video jack you have a
composite video. If your video source has a four-pin video
jack, you have a S-Video. If your video source has a three-pin
video jack, you have a component video (Y/Video, C/R-Y,
and B-Y).
♦
Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style F
connector.
You can connect to both a S-Video and a composite video
source at the same time. However, the projector automatically
selects the S-Video source. To display the composite video,
you must disconnect the S-Video source.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video
formats. By default, it automatically detects and identifies the
video format. However, you can set it to detect a single
broadcast format. (See “Video menu” in Chapter 3.) Note
that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of
video signal.
The type of cable you need to connect the video source to the
projector depends on whether you have a composite video, SVideo or a component video (Y/Video, C/R-Y, and B-Y).
For composite video, use the video/ audio cable supplied
with the projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable and
audio cable supplied with your video device or obtain one
from your computer dealer. For a component video (Y/
Video, C/R-Y, and B-Y), use the BNC type cable came with
your video source.
■ ■ ■ ■
24
Installation
To connect a video source to the projector:
1. Switch off the projector and video source if they are on.
2. If your composite video uses an RCA-type composite
video connector, you will need the audio/video cable
supplied with the EMP-7300/7200/5300. If your video
uses a S-Video or BNC type connector, you will need to
provide YOUR OWN S-Video or BNC type cable, or use
the S-Video or BNC type cable that came with your video
source.
3. For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug at one
end of the video/audio cable to the projector’s Video
jack. Connect the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out
jack on the video source.
A/V cable
4. Connect the other plugs on the audio/visual cable to the
Audio jacks of the projector: insert the white plug into the
L jack and the red plug into the R jack. Connect the plug
at the other end of the audio/visual cable to the audio
output jacks of the video source.

6. For G Sync-Video (BNC typy), insert the end of the G
Sync-Video cable into the projector’s R/R-Y, G/Y and
B/B-Y jack. Insert the other end in the jack on your G
Sync-Video source.
Connecting to an External Speaker or
PA System
Though the projector’s internal speakers are enough for most
small-size or medium-size rooms, an external speaker can be
connected to achieve the best results for large room
presentations.
A commercially available RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo mini audio
cable or 3.5 mm stereo mini audio cable is required to
connect the projector’s 3.5 mm stereo mini jack to an external
speaker or a PA system. These items can be obtained from
your computer dealer.
1. Check to ensure that both the projector and all sources are
turned off.

Connecting to a Workstation
(only available for the EMP-7300/7200)
You can not use any kind of workstations. Before connecting,
make sure the type of your workstation. If you are not sure of
the type of workstation, consult your dealer or local
workstation company.
The following workstations are available:
• If your workstation output is 13W3, use a
13W3(male)↔HD D-Sub15(male) cable.
(Epson recommended, MS8158CA (1.8m) 6ft,
MS8128CA (0.9m) 3ft)
• If your workstation output is 5BNC, use a
5BNC(male)↔HD D-Sub15(male) cable
(Epson recommended, MS8102CA (1.8m) 6ft)
* You need to turn the Computer2/5BNC switch on the back of the projector to
5BNC.

Maintenance
The projector needs little maintenance. You should keep the
lens clean because any dirt or stains will appear on the screen.
You will also need to clean the air filter located at the bottom
of the projector periodically. It is important to keep the air
filter clean because a clogged air filter prevents proper
ventilation which is necessary to cool the projector and
prevent it from overheating.
The only parts you should replace yourself are the lamp and
the air filter. If any other parts need replacing, contact your
EMP-7300/7200/5300 dealer or qualified service personnel.
When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off and
unplug the projector first.
♦
Warning: Never open any of the covers on the projector except
the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside
the projector can cause severe injury. Except as specifically
indicated in this Owner’s Manual, do not attempt to service this
product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
75
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the
surface. Wipe the lens surface gently with a soft, dry, lint-free
cloth.
To remove dirt or stains on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with
water and a neutral detergent and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case
To clean the projector case, first unplug the power cable. To
remove dirt or dust, wipe the casing 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 casing.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or other chemical
detergents as these can cause the casing to warp.
■ ■ ■ ■
76
Maintenance
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter, which is located at the bottom of the projector,
should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. If it is not
cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust and
prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can
cause overheating and damage the projector.
To clean the air filter:
1. Switch the projector off and unplug the power cable from
the wall socket.
2. Stand the projector with the handle at the top so that the
filter is easily accessible.
♦
Caution: Stand the projector with the handle at the top to
prevent dust from entering the projector.
3. Lift the stopper of the filter cover with your fingers.

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes the problems indicated by the status
lights and provides information on what to do if you
experience problems with the projector. It is divided into the
following sections:
• General problems with the projector. Refer to this section if
the projector is not working and to find out what the
warning lights are indicating.
• Problems with the screen image. Refer to this section if you
cannot project an image or if the quality of the screen
image is poor.
If you have a problem, refer to the appropriate section and
follow all the suggestions which apply to your problem. If
none of the suggested solutions solves the problem, call your
EMP-7300/7200/5300 dealer or call the EPSON Service
Centre.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Problems with the Projector
If you have problems with the projector, first turn it off and
unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the
projector. If this does not solve the problem, check the
warning lights at the top of the projector. These lights alert
you to problems with projector operation.
Temperature Indicator
Lamp Indicator
Operation Indicator
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 operation indicator 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 operation indicator 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.
❑ Projected images get darker or start to deteriorate, or
the lamp indicator is red.
Replace the projector lamp as described on page 78.
■ ■ ■ ■
82
Troubleshooting
❑ The temperature indicator 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 a while.
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.

Problems with the Projector
83
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
Source button on the remote control or the control panel
to choose another image source.
❑ Only part of the computer image is displayed.
If the computer’s output resolution setting is higher than
1024 x 768, the projector resizes the image. If the
computer output is not compatible with this resizing,
choose a different display setting on the computer. In
Windows 3.x, use Windows Setup in the Main program
group. For a Macintosh, choose Control Panels under the
Apple menu and then choose Monitors. In the Monitors
screen, choose Options and make sure Macintosh Hi-Res
Display or another 1024 x 768 display is selected. For
supported display settings, see page “Supported Monitor
Displays” on page 89, 90.
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. When NO SIGNAL is displayed, you
cannot access the source (computer/video) menu.
■ ■ ■ ■
84
Troubleshooting
❑ A blank screen is displayed.
The computer signal cannot be interpreted by the
projector. Verify the display format (see page 89, 90).
When you see a blank screen, you cannot access the
projector menus.
❑ The image or parts of the image are blurred or not in
focus.
Adjust the Brightness and Contrast settings on the Video
main menu. If you’re viewing a computer image, also try
adjusting the Comp Tracking and Comp Sync buttons on
the projector’s control panel.
There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as
described in Chapter 5, “Maintenance.”
❑ The colors of the image are not right.
The color balance may be incorrect. If you’re displaying a
computer image, adjust the red, green, and blue settings in
the Video menu. If you’re displaying video, adjust the color
and tint (NTSC only) settings on the Video menu.
❑ There is no sound.
First check that the volume setting is not turned all the way
down and that the audio/visual cable is securely attached to
both the projector and the audio source.
The wrong source is selected. Press either the Computer or
Video button on the remote control or control panel to
select the proper source.

Glossary
Brightness. The balance of light and dark shades in an image.
Composite video. A type of video signal that encodes
colours, luminance and sychronization information so it can
be carried in one signal.
Contrast. A measure of the luminance differences between
the highlights and shadows of an image. In a high-contrast
image, light areas are very bright and dark areas are very dark.
NTSC. A 525-line video broadcast format developed by the
National Television Standards Committee. NTSC is widely
used in North America, Mexico and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line). A 625-line video
broadcast format used in Western Europe, India, China,
Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa.
Resolution. A measure of the amount of detail contained in
an image. Resolution can be measured in dots per inch or in
pixels. Image sharpness and clarity improve as resolution
increases.
RGB. Red Green Blue
