Image appearance can be selected to match the projection environment (Color Mode)

The optimum images for the location can be projected simply by selecting the desired color mode from the following five preset modes. ☐ p.18

graph TD
    A["Color Mode"] --> B["Dynamic"]
    A --> C["Cinema"]
    A --> D["x.v.Color"]
    A --> E["Natural"]
    A --> F["Living Room"]

If "Natural", "Cinema" or "x.v.Color" is selected, the Epson Cinema Filter effect is applied automatically to increase the contrast and to make skin tones appear with more natural tints. p.18

Equipped with a wide-angle lens shift function

The lens shift function allows the position of the projected images to be adjusted vertically and horizontally without distorting the images. This can allow the projector to be set up with greater freedom, even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at an angle to the screen. p.16

Illustration of three scenes: a projector, a living room with TV, and a person watching TV (no text or symbols)

"x.v.Color " mode realizes more natural color reproduction

This mode is compatible with the extended-gamut color space standard for video (xvYCC). Extended-gamut color images output by equipment supporting this standard are more faithful to the original, and the viewer can enjoy clearer, more natural images. p.18

Sophisticated color adjustment

In addition to the "Color Mode", the absolute color temperature and skin tones can be adjusted by simple procedures to render the picture even more to your own liking. Further, you can adjust gamma, the offset and gain for RGB colors, and the hue, saturation, and brightness of RGBCMY colors, to create colors that match the image. p.20

Equipped with 2.1x short throw zoom lens

For zoom adjustment, 2.1x short throw zoom lens is provided. Images can be projected onto an 100" screen (16:9 screen only) even at a distance of approximately 3 m. p.10

Advanced image quality adjustment functions

Advanced image quality adjustment functions such as "Auto Iris" and "Sharpness (Advanced)" can be used to enjoy even sharper images. With the Auto Iris function turned on, the amount of light can be automatically adjusted to match the images being projected, to create images with depth and perspective. The Sharpness function is used not only to adjust the entire image, but also to emphasize specific regions, such as hair and clothing. p.23

Other functions to enjoy images more

Some of the other many functions are available as follows.

• EPSON Super White that prevents overexposure in images that are too bright 📞 p.32
• The memory function makes it easy to store your preferred color tone settings for projected images into memory, and to load them again. p.24
• Remote control with backlight provides greater visibility and ease of operation in dark rooms. 📞 p.7
• Auto iris function automatically recognizes changes in the brightness of images to produce natural feelings of depth and stereoscopic effect. p.23

Screen O X

Set up so that the projector is parallel to the screen. If the projector is set up at an angle to the screen, distortion of the images will occur.

Lens shift adjustment

The lens shift can be used to position the image and the feature is especially useful under the following conditions. p.16

• When the projector is suspended from the ceiling
• When the height of the projector does not match with that of the screen
• When the projector is set up to the side so that the screen can be viewed sitting right in front of it

When positioning an image using the lens shift dial, hardly any deterioration of the image occurs because the lens shift correction is adjusted optically. However, for optimal image quality the lens shift function should not be used.

Projection methods

Warning

• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, this projector should be installed by qualified technicians using only approved mounting equipment. If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents. Contact your dealer to carry out the installation work.
• If you use a ceiling mount and apply adhesives to the mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector housing may crack and the projector may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting a ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.

Attention

• Do not use the projector in places where there is a lot of humidity or dust, near cooking or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam. Do not use or store this projector outdoors for an extended length of time. Fire or electric shock may result.
• Clean the air filter at least once every 3 months. Clean the air filter more frequently if using the projector in a dusty environment.
• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

If you project an image that is compressed, enlarged or separated using the aspect function in public places such as a store or hotel for the purposes of profit-making or public display, it may result in infringing on the author's right that is protected by copyright law.

Selecting the aspect

[Aspect] Auto Normal Full Zoom Wide

Press Aspect and select the aspect mode from the menu.

When 720p, 1080i or 1080p signals are being input to the [HDMI1], [HDMI2] or [Component] input port, the aspect setting is fixed at "Normal" and cannot be changed.

When projecting using Auto

For 4:3 input signals → Normal
- For input images recorded in squeeze mode → Full
- For letterbox input signals → Zoom

• This is not available for when image signals are being input from a computer and for some component video signals.
• If Auto is not suitable, the setting will become Normal.

Dynamic

: Ideal for using in a bright room.

Living Room

: Ideal for using in a bright room. Provides clear and crisp images with vivid colors.

Natural

: Ideal for using in a dark room. It is recommended that you start in this mode when making color adjustments.

Cinema

: Ideal for watching movies and concerts in a dark room.

x.v.Color

: You can select from either of the signals being input to the HDMI1 and HDMI2 terminals. If this is used when viewing images which have been recorded in the x.v.Color standard, a true natural color representation will be obtained. p.4

When the ■ mode is selected, the EPSON cinema filter is automatically applied and the original colors of the image source are reproduced more exactly.

Input signal	Images with standard aspect ratio (4:3)Computer images	Images recorded by a video camera or DVD software in squeeze mode	Letterbox images	Images with standard aspect ratio (4:3)
Recommended aspectmode	Normal	Full	Zoom	Wide
Result	Black bands will appear at the left and right of the images.	Input signals will be projected at the same width as the projector's panel resolution.	Input signals will be projected at the same height as the projector's panel resolution.	Input signals will be projected at the same height as the projector's panel resolution. At this time, the image enlargement ratio will be smaller near the middle of the images but become larger towards the left and right edges of the images.
Remarks	WhenHDTVimages are projected, the images appear in 16:9 size.	When 4:3 images are projected, the images will be elongated horizontally.	When a 4:3 image is projected, the top and bottom of the image are hidden from view. If this happens, the part of the image hidden from view at the top and bottom can be reduced in size in the vertical direction so that it can be viewed by "Zoom Size" in the Configuration menu.p.31When images with subtitles are projected and the subtitles are truncated, use the "Zoom Caption Pos." menu command to adjust.p.31	This is useful for when 4:3 images are projected onto a wide screen. Because there is almost no distortion due to enlargement in the middle of the images, the images appear close to what they would be at their original size. And because both ends of the images are enlarged, movement at the edges of the images appears faster and gives an impression of greater speed, making it ideal for viewing sporting events.

You can select "Sharpness" or "Advanced" in the "Image" menu to adjust the images according to your own preferences. The adjustment screens for "Gamma" and "RGBCMY" can be displayed on the screen directly by pressing the corresponding buttons on the remote control.

The adjustment values can be stored in the memory so that you can retrieve them and apply them to the projected images at any time. (p24)

Differences between equipment may result in a slight variation in the coloring when images are projected, and you may want to adjust this. (Projection will stop temporarily during such adjustment.) There are two methods of doing so. One is to select one of the gamma correction values [2.0], [2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4]. The other is customized adjustment, which is done with reference to the projected image or a gamma graph. The gamma graph's horizontal axis represents the input signal level and its vertical axis the output signal level.

Adjustment is not possible when "Color Mode" is set to "x.v. Color".

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

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

Warning

Do not use sprays containing a flammable gas to remove dirt or dust which is adhering to parts such as the lens or filter of the projector. Because the lamp inside the projector becomes very hot during use, the gases may ignite and result in a fire.

Cleaning the air filter

If the air filter becomes blocked with dust and the message "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter" is displayed, clean the air filter.

Attention

• If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can result in overheating which may cause operating problems or reduce the operating life of the optical parts. It is recommended that you clean the air filter about once every three month. If using the projector in a dusty location, the air filter should be cleaned more often.
• The air filter is not washable. Also do not use detergent or solvents.
• When using a brush for cleaning, use a soft brush with long bristles and brush the filter gently. If you brush too strong, dust may be pushed inside the air filter and hardly be removed.

1 Remove the air filter cover.

Press the knobs to release the catches, and then pull the cover upward.

2 Take out the air filter.

3 Tap the air filter four or five times with the surface facing downwards to shake off the dust.

Hold the filter at the other side and tap it again to shake off the dust.

Attention

Do not hit the air filter hard, otherwise it may become bent or broken and can no longer be used.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector case. These can cause the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the lens

To clean the lens it is preferable to use an air blower purchased for the purpose. But alternatively you can wipe it gently clean with a spectacle-cleaning cloth.

Attention

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

Consumable replacement periods

Air filter replacement period

- If the air filter has been broken or the "Replace" message is displayed even though the air filter has been cleaned.

Replacing the air filter p.48

Lamp replacement period

- The message "Replace the lamp." appears on the screen when projection starts.

A message will be displayed.

- The projected images get darker or start to deteriorate.

- The replacement warning message is set to appear after a minimum of about 3900 hours of lamp use in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images. The time taken for the message to appear will vary depending on usage conditions such as Color Mode settings. If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

- Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on 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 ready in case it is needed.

FCC Compliance Statement

For United States Users

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate the FCC Certification or Declaration of this device and may cause interference levels which exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused interfaces. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which were not explained in the manual itself. Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.

Aspect Ratio

The ratio between an image's length and its height. Wide screen refers to screens such as those for HDTV where the ratio between the width and the height is 16:9. The aspect ratio for SDTV and general computer screens is 4:3.

Component video

A method of separating images signals into luminance (Y), blue color difference (Cb or Pb) and red color difference (Cr or Pr) for video transmission.

Composite video

A video transmission method conveying luminance and chrominance signals together in a single cable.

Contrast

The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer.

Cool-down

This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. It is carried out automatically when the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel has been pressed to turn off the projector. Do not turn off the main power switch while cool-down is in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally, the projector's lamp and internal components will remain at high temperatures, and this may shorten the useful life of the lamp or cause problems with the operation of the projector. The projector takes about 16 seconds to cool down. The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature.

HDCP

An abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, which is a type of copyright protection technology used for preventing unauthorized copying by encoding digital signals which are transmitted and received via DVI and HDMI ports. The HDMI input terminals of this projector are HDCP compatible, so that digital images which are protected by HDCP technology can be projected. However, if changes are made to the HDCP standard, it may no longer be possible to project digital images which have been protected by the new, changed standard.

HDMI ^TM

An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface, and refers to a standard for digital transmission of high-definition images and multi-channel audio signals.

HDMI ^TM is a standard that is targeted towards household digital equipment and computers that allows digital signals to be transmitted in their original high quality without compression, and it also includes a digital signal encryption function.

HDTV

An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.

- Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = progressive, i = interlace)

- Screen aspect of 16:9

• Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output)

Interlace

Displays an image by transmitting scan data for every other line from top to bottom. Because one frame is displayed in every other line, flickering may easily become visible.

NTSC

An abbreviation for National Television Standards Committee, and a format for ground-based analogue color television broadcasts. This format is used in Japan, North America and Central and South America.

PAL

An abbreviation for Phase Alternation by Line, and a format for ground-based analogue color television broadcasts. This format is used in Western European countries except France, and also in Asian countries such as China and in Africa.

Progressive

Displays an image for one frame line by line from top to bottom all at once. Even though the scanning lines are the same as for interlace scanning, flickering is much less visible in images because twice as much information transmitted per unit time.

S-Video

A method of separating images signals into luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) for video transmission.

SDTV

An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for HDTV.

SECAM

An abbreviation for Sequential Couleur A Memoire, and a format for ground-based analogue color television broadcasts. This format is used in France, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Africa.

Security lock

A device consisting of a protector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

SVGA

A screen resolution standard for 800(W) x 600(H) pixels.

SXGA

A screen resolution standard for 1280(W) x 1024(H) pixels.

Sync. (Synchronization)

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 "synchronization". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.

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.

VGA

A screen resolution standard for 640(W) x 480(H) pixels.

XGA

A screen resolution standard for 1024(W) x 768(H) pixels.

YCbCr

A component video signal for SDTV. Y indicates the luminance, and Cb and Cr indicate the color difference.

YPbPr

A component video signal for HDTV. Y indicates the luminance, and Pb and Pr indicate the color difference.
