Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.

- Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

- Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)

- Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

- Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
• If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.

When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

Attention

• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

• The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.
  Extended - Projection p.71
• You can change the Projection mode as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds. Front↔Front/Ceiling
  Rear↔Rear/Ceiling

Installation methods

Install the projector as follows.

Installing the Projector

• Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen. If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image.

- Place the projector on a level surface. If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.

•See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.
"Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36
• See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.
"Adjusting the Horizontal 'Tilt" p.41
"Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the projection distance.

"Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.98

When you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be reduced.

Maintenance

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Cleaning

89

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Attention

Turn off the projector's power before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Warning

Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dust and lint from the lens. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed.

"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."

Attention

- If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

- Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

- If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter.

"Replacing the Air Filter" p.94

- It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the lamp and the air filter.

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period

It is time to replace the lamp when:

•The following message is displayed.

"I'me to replace the lamp. Please contact your Epson projector reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase."

The message is displayed for 30 seconds.

•The lamp indicator flashes orange.

Lamp Temp

•The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

Attention

- The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.

When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 3900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 4900 hours

Settings - Power Consumption p.70

- If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

- Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.

- Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.

How to replace the lamp

The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

Warning

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is cracked, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently.
• Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp is installed in the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.

Caution

Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.

1 After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.
2 Wait until the lamp has sufficiently cooled down, and then remove the lamp cover at the top of the projector.

Loosen the Lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp unit or a Phillips screwdriver. Then slide the lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.

Attention

• Make sure you install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the power turns off automatically as a safety precaution. If the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly, the power does not turn on.
• This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not dispose of it with normal waste.

Resetting the lamp hours

The projector records how long the lamp is turned on and a message and indicator notify you when it is time to replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, make sure you reset the Lamp Hours from the Reset menu.

Reset - Reset Lamp Hours p.73

Only reset the Lamp Hours after the lamp has been replaced. Otherwise the lamp replacement period is not indicated correctly.

Replacing the Air Filter

Air filter replacement period

If the message is displayed frequently even though the air filter has been cleaned, replace the air filter.

How to replace the air filter

The air filter can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

1 After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.
2 Open the air filter cover.

This section briefly explains the difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.

Aspect Ratio	The ratio between an image's length and its height. Screens with a horizontal:vertical ratio of 16:9, such as HDTV screens, are known as wide screens. SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Component Video	A method that separates the video signal into a luminance component (Y), and a blue minus luminance (Cb or Pb) and a red minus luminance (Cr or Pr).
Composite video	A method that combines the video signal into a luminance component and a color component for transmission down a single cable.
Contrast	The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased 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.
HDCP	HDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect copyrights by encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI ports. Because the HDMI port on this projector supports HDCP, it can project digital images protected by HDCP technology. However, the projector may not be able to project images protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP encryption.
HDTV	An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.●Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = Progressive, i = Interlace)●Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
Interlace	Transmits information needed to create one screen by sending every other line, starting from the top of the image and working down to the bottom. Images are more likely to flicker because one frame is displayed every other line.
Progressive	Projects information to create one screen at a time, displaying the image for one frame. Even though the number of scan lines is the same, the amount of flicker in images decreases because the volume of information has doubled compared with an interlace system.
Refresh Rate	The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh Rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV	An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for HDTVHigh-Definition Television.
sRGB	An international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.
SVGA	A screen size standard with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots.
S-Video	A method that separates the video signal into a luminance component (Y) and a color component (C).
SXGA	A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) x 1,024 (vertical) dots.
Sync.	The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.

Glossary

Tracking	The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not 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 appear in the signal.
VGA	A screen size standard with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots.
XGA	A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots.
