Introduction

The Ensemble HD ^™ home cinema system by Epson ^® is designed to transform your living room into a state-of-the-art home cinema. Its wide-format (16:9) projection screen, 5.1-channel surround sound system, and high-definition video projector deliver unrivaled, high-performance picture and sound.

Your home cinema system's ease-of-use and versatility let you:

• Watch movies using the built-in DVD player (see page 19)
• Listen to music in various formats—by playing CDs, connecting an MP3 player, or using the built-in AM/FM radio (see page 23)
• Connect external components such as a cable box, satellite receiver, gaming console, or high-definition DVD player like Blu-ray ^™ or HD DVD ^® (see page 31)
• Use the included universal remote control to operate not just the Ensemble HD system, but any components you connect to it

See “Getting Started” in the next section for basic instructions on using your system.

Getting Started

The universal remote control included with your Ensemble HD system puts complete control over your home theater in the palm of your hand. With one touch, you can lower the screen, turn on the projector, and get ready to watch a movie. If you've connected additional components to your home theater, such as a cable box or satellite receiver, you can use the remote control to operate them too.

See these sections:

• "Using the Remote Control" on page 12
• "Turning On the System" on page 13
• "Controlling the Screen" on page 15
• “Controlling the DVD Player and Other Equipment” on page 15
• "Adjusting the Volume" on page 17

Using the Remote Control

Aim the remote control at the screen and press any button. An 📞on appears on the remote control's LCD screen to indicate that a command is being transmitted. At the same time, the blue light at the top of the projection screen flashes, indicating that the system is receiving a command.

Note

The blue light remains on when the screen is raised and turns off when the screen is lowered.

If you're using the remote control in a darkened room, press the LIGHT button on the side of the remote control. The keys and display screen on the remote control light up so you can make a selection. The light shuts off by itself after 10 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the LIGHT button a second time.

Note

If you need to increase the amount of time the remote control lights up or change the contrast of its screen, see page 71.

Turning On the System

When you're ready to watch a movie, you can lower the screen, turn on the projector, and turn on the AV controller (with its built-in DVD player) with the touch of a button.

1 Make sure the MAIN menu is displayed on the remote control. If necessary, press the MAIN button.

2 Point the remote control at the screen and press the ON button to turn on the system. The screen comes down and the projector and AV controller turn on.

Note

Make sure the remote control remains pointed at the screen until the system has turned on. (You see the 📋 icon flash on the remote control screen while it's turning on the system.) If the system does not turn on, see "Basic Operation Problems" on page 61.

The projector lamp takes up to 30 seconds to achieve full brightness.

3 When you're done using the system, make sure the MAIN menu is displayed on the remote control and press the OFF button. The projector and AV controller turn off, and the screen raises up automatically.

Note

If you install additional components, such as a cable box or satellite receiver, you can set up the remote control to turn them on with one button, too. See "Setting Up Macros" on page 77.

Turning On Selected Components

You can turn on and operate any component in the system without using any of the others. For example, if you want to listen to your home theater's built-in radio, you can turn on the radio by itself without lowering the screen.

1 Make sure the MAIN menu is displayed on the remote control. If necessary, press the MAIN button.

You see a list of components displayed on the remote control:

2 If you don't see the component you want to use, it may be listed on the next page. Press the PAGE or (page up or down) button to access additional components.

3 Press the button to the right of the component you want to use, such as DVD or RADIO. The top of the screen changes from MAIN to the name of the component you select, and the menu options change to the ones for that component.

Note

Some of the options in the MAIN menu, such as CABLE or SAT, are for components that don't come with the Ensemble HD system, such as a cable box or satellite receiver. If you install components like these, you can use the remote control to operate them just like the rest of your system. See "Connecting and Using Other Components" on page 31 for more information.

4 Once you've opened the menu for the selected component, press the ON button to turn it on or the OFF button to turn it off. (If you select DVD or RADIO, the AV controller turns on automatically.)

5 Follow the instructions elsewhere in this guide to operate the selected component:

• If you selected RADIO, you can listen to AM/FM radio through your home theater (see page 23).
• I f y o DVD, you can you can play at DVD (see page 19), listen to a CD (see page 23), or listen to a disc with MP3 audio files (page 26).
  • To use other components you may have added to your system, see page 39.

Controlling the Screen

The screen is lowered automatically when you turn on the system as described on page 13. If necessary, you can also operate the screen manually as described below.

Note

To change how far the screen comes down when you lower it, see "Adjusting the Screen Length" on page 54.

1 Make sure the MAIN menu is displayed on the remote control. If necessary, press the MAIN button.
2 Press the PAGE button to display additional components.
3 Press the button to the right of PROJ to select the projector menu.
4 Press S-DWN to lower the screen. It comes down and automatically stops at the pre-set position.
5 Press S-UP to raise the screen when you're done using it.

Controlling the DVD Player and Other Equipment

The universal remote control has all the buttons you need to control the Ensemble HD home theater, along with any additional components you may add to it. Here's an overview of the main buttons you'll use to control the built-in DVD player and radio, as well as any optional components like a cable box or satellite receiver.

Note

You can also use the buttons on the AV controller for many of the same functions that you would normally access using the remote control. See "Using the Buttons on the AV Controller" on page 16.

Controlling Playback

Use the buttons shown below to control playback when watching a movie or listening to music:

Note

The buttons highlighted at right are for accessing the on-screen menu system and selecting menu options, not for controlling playback. See "Using the On-screen Menu System" on page 41.

Selecting Channels on an HD Tuner, Cable Box, or Satellite Receiver

You can use the numeric keypad to select pretuned radio stations or the tracks on a CD. If you've connected an HD tuner or other equipment to receive programmed content, use the numeric keypad to enter channels. The method of entering the digits varies, depending on the type of equipment you're using—for example, you might have to press 0 to enter a single-digit number, such as 01. In some case, you may need to press the ENT (Enter) or SEL (Select) button to enter the digits.

You can also use CH ∧ and ∨ (channel up and down) to change channels.

To return to the previously selected channel, press the PREV CH button.

Using the Buttons on the AV Controller

You can use the buttons on the AV controller to control most basic functions.

Note

All these functions are accessible via the remote control.

- ON/STANDBY lets you turn on the AV controller. The controller is on when the light surrounding the button is blue, and is off (standby) when the light is orange.

- SOURCE lets you switch between the Ensemble HD system's DVD player and radio, or select other equipment you've connected to the system. Each time you press the button, the AV controller cycles through these functions or sources:

DVD player → FM radio → AM radio → Audio 1 port → Audio 2 port → Composite video (CVBS) → S-video → Component video → HDMI 1 → HDMI 2

• The playback control buttons let you control playback when watching a DVD or listening to a CD. In addition, the button should select preset radio stations while listening to AM or FM radio.
• The eject button opens and closes the DVD/CD tray.
• The volume control knob lets you adjust the sound volume.

Adjusting the Volume

The Ensemble HD system gives you various ways to control the volume:

• VOL and (volume up and down) lets you change the volume from -74 to +10 dB.
• MUTE temporarily turns off the sound. Press the button again to restore audio.
• Midnight Mode adjusts the sound for late-night viewing when you want to avoid disturbing others. Volume is reduced at the bass end with volume highs and lows being compressed to a narrower range. See page 48 for details.

Note

You can also adjust the volume using the volume control knob on the AV controller.

To use headphones with your home theater, plug them into the PHONES jack on the front of the AV controller. The jack accepts 1/4-inch stereo headphones. When you plug in the headphones, the sound is automatically muted from the Ensemble HD speakers.

Watching Movies

Follow the steps in this chapter when you're ready to watch a movie on DVD. See these sections:

• "Inserting a Disc" below
  • "Playing a DVD" on page 20

Note

If you watch movies under different lighting conditions (for example, in the daytime and at night), you may want to change the Color Mode when you begin watching a movie (see "Adjusting the Color Mode" on page 42).

Depending on the aspect ratio your movie was filmed in, you may also want to select a different Aspect setting (see "Adjusting the Aspect Ratio" on page 43).

Inserting a Disc

The DVD player, built into the Ensemble HD system, accepts both DVD and DVD-R discs. For more information on compatible formats, see “Playable Disc Types” on page 119.

1 Make sure the Ensemble HD system is turned on (see "Turning On the System" on page 13).

2 Open the DVD/CD tray by pressing the ▲ eject button on the AV controller. (Or select EJECT from the DVD menu on the remote control.)

Note

Make sure you don't have a USB flash drive inserted, or you won't be able to operate the DVD player, or insert or eject a DVD. Remove the flash drive prior to inserting the disc.

3 Place the disc in the tray, playable side down.

4 Close the DVD/CD tray by pressing the ▲ eject button on the AV controller. (Or select EJECT from the DVD menu on the remote control.)

When you're done playing the disc, open the DVD/CD tray as described above and remove the disc.

Playing a DVD

Once the disc is inserted, follow these steps to begin playing the movie:

1 If the DVD player was the last function you used, the DVD begins playing automatically.

If you previously used a different function (such as CABLE or SAT), select the DVD option on the remote control:

2 When the DVD begins playing, you may see a menu screen that lets you select its contents and other options. (This menu varies from disc to disc.) Use the arrow buttons (◀▶▲▼) to highlight the option you want, then press the SEL (Select) button. For example, to play a movie, highlight the "Play movie" option, then press SEL.

3 If you need to return to the DVD's main menu screen while watching the movie, press the MENU or GUIDE button. You can also select MENU from the DVD menu on the remote control.

Note

To avoid losing your place while watching a movie, don't switch sources. If you select a different source (such as CABLE or SAT), the DVD will stop playing. It will start over from the beginning when you return to the DVD function.

Using Basic Playback Functions

While you're watching a movie, you can use the following buttons to control playback:

- Press the II pause button to stop the movie temporarily. The image freezes on the screen. While the movie is paused, pressing the II pause button again puts the player in step mode. Each time you press the II pause button, the movie advances one frame at a time. To return to normal playback, press the > play button.

- Press the ■ stop button to stop projection of the movie temporarily. The DVD player remembers the point in the movie where you stopped. Press the >play button to resume playback from that point.

Note

If you press the ■ stop button twice, playback will start over from the beginning of the movie.

- Press the play button to resume playback if you've paused or stopped the movie.

- Press the fast-rewind or fast-forward button to skip backward or forward to a different chapter in the movie. DVDs are usually structured with each movie or special feature having its own title, and with each title broken into chapters:

As you skip through chapters, the title and chapter information display at the top of the screen.

- Press and hold the fast-rewind or fast-forward button to move quickly through a scene. Each time you press and hold the button, the speed doubles and then finally returns to normal speed:

2 × → 4 × → 8 × → 1 6 × → normal speed

- P r dNFO button to display title and chapter information on the screen. The on-screen display tells you the time elapsed and time remaining at your current location on the disc. Each time you press the INFO button, you see the following information displayed:

Title time elapsed → Title time remaining → Chapter time elapsed → Chapter time remaining → Display off

Note

If you press a button for a function that cannot be performed at a given time (for example, if you press the > play button while the movie is already playing), you see the symbol on the screen.

Using Other Playback Features

You can use the DVD menu on the remote control to access several other features while watching movies.

Note

Some functions in the remote control's DVD menu are used only for playing CDs. These include the Shuffle, Memory, and Clear functions.

- If your DVD has separate audio tracks in different languages, you can change the language by selecting AUDIO from the DVD menu. Each time you press AUDIO, the language changes and you see an on-screen display like the following:

Audio 5/5:Dolby D 2CH ENGLISH

Note

If you usually watch DVDs with a language other than English selected, you can set that language to be used automatically whenever you play a DVD. See "Choosing the Language" on page 49.

- Some DVDs include scenes that have been shot from different camera angles. They have a symbol like this to indicate the number of available angles: 2. When you encounter a scene with multiple angles, a camera icon is displayed on the screen. Select ANGLE in the DVD menu to change angles. To stop displaying the camera icon, press the INFO button repeatedly until it clears the icon from the screen.

- To repeat the current chapter of a movie that you're watching, select RPEAT from the DVD menu. To repeat the entire title (such as the movie itself or a special feature), press RPEAT again. Press RPEAT a third time to cancel the repeat function.

To repeat just part of a scene that you're watching, press A<>B at the beginning of the part you want to repeat, then press A<>B a second time to mark the end of the section. Press A<>B a third time to cancel the repeat function.

- To move slowly through a scene, select SLOW from the DVD menu. Each time you press SLOW, the speed is reduced by one-half. You can select from 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 speed. To return to normal playback, press the play button.

- If your DVD has subtitles, you can change the subtitle language by selecting SUB-T from the DVD menu. Each time you press SUB-T, the language changes and you see an on-screen display like the following:

Subtitle 03/03:FRENCH

Note

If you usually watch DVDs with subtitles, you can have the subtitle language you prefer turned on automatically whenever you play a DVD. See "Choosing the Language" on page 49.

Connecting the Audio Cable for the Video Source

Once you've connected the video cable, you may need to connect an audio cable in order to combine the picture with sound. If you've connected your device using an HDMI cable, the audio signal is already carried by the cable, so you don't have to connect an additional cable. (Make sure HDMI audio is enabled in your component's setup menu.) Otherwise, you'll need to connect an audio cable to one of the ports listed below:

If you've connected to this video port... ...connect an audio cable to one of these ports

HDMI 1 or 2 Coaxial*
	Optical*
Component Coaxial
	OpticalAnalog
S-Video Coaxial
	OpticalAnalog
CVBS (Composite video) Coaxial
	OpticalAnalog

* Connection not required if your video device supports HDMI audio.

Check your video device for the type of audio output port(s) it has available. For best sound quality, use either the coaxial or optical digital audio port. If your equipment doesn't have digital audio, use an analog stereo output port instead. Connect the audio cable to one of the ports shown below:

Linking Audio and Video Sources

Once you've connected the audio and video cables, you need to tell the Ensemble HD system which audio and video ports to use together. That way, when you select a device with the remote control (VCR, cable, satellite, etc.), the matching audio and video sources will be automatically used. You link the audio and video sources together using the Source Assign screen.

Note

The label you assign to a device (e.g. "CABLE") is what you see on the projection screen when you're selecting sources. It doesn't affect the device names shown on the remote control's LCD screen.

Connecting Audio Equipment

You can connect an external audio device, such as a CD player or tape deck, to the Ensemble HD system. Use an RCA-style stereo cable and connect your equipment's audio output port to the AUDIO 1 port on the back of the AV controller, as shown below:

To record from the AV controller to your tape deck, connect the audio input port on your tape deck to the 2CH OUT port, shown above. If you're not using a tape deck, you can use this port to connect the Ensemble HD system to an external amplifier or other home audio system.

Note

The 2CH OUT port is intended for use as a pass-through port. You cannot use the Ensemble HD system to control the volume of the audio signal transmitted through this port.

Setting Up the Remote Control

After connecting a new component, you can continue to use its original remote control. However, it may be more convenient to set up the Ensemble HD remote control to work with it. That way, you only need to use one remote control.

You enable the Ensemble HD remote control to recognize the new component by entering a setup code as described on page 37. This creates the appropriate commands for your device in one of the remote control menus listed below:

Component Remote control menu name

Cable box CABLE

Satellite receiver SAT

High-definition DVD player HD

Digital video recorder (for example, TiVo) DVR

Video game console AUX

Video cassette recorder VIDEO

Note

The menus for the listed components remain blank until you enter the setup code for the component. The remote control also has several other menus (DVD, RADIO, AUDIO, and PROJ). These are used to operate the built-in components of the Ensemble HD system.

If you have a type of component not listed above, first enter its setup code as described in the next section. Then see "Customizing the Remote Control Menu" on page 39 for additional instructions.

Entering the Setup Code for Your Component

You enable the remote control to recognize the new component by entering a setup code from the tables starting on page 85. You may have to try out several codes before finding the right one for your component. Once the correct code is entered, the remote control will automatically create the appropriate commands in the menu for the new device.

If you can't find the correct code, you can “teach” the remote control how to operate your new component one function at a time, but this may take much longer (see page 72).

1 Turn on the component you want to set up. Each time you enter a code, the remote control will try to turn off your component by sending a power-off command. You will know that you have entered the correct code when the component turns off.
2 Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approximately three seconds to enter the SETUP menu.

Note

You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in the SETUP menu. If you don't press a button, the remote control returns to the MAIN menu.

3 Select the P-PRO (Pre-Programmed) option on the LCD screen.

4 Choose the name of the remote control menu that will operate the device. It's important to choose the one whose name matches the device label you selected in the Source Assign screen on page 35. If you don't see your device on the screen, press the PAGE or (page up or down) button to view more options. Use the ▲ or ▼ button to highlight the desired option so it flashes, then press the SEL (Select) button.

Note

Some of the device names (DVD, RADIO, AUDIO, and PROJ) are already used by the Ensemble HD system, and you cannot select them.

5 Use the ▲ or ▼ button to select the type of device you've connected, then press the SEL (Select) button. (The names in this step correspond to the categories of devices found in the code tables on page 36).
6 Point the remote control at the component, then enter the first three-digit code number from the code tables starting on page 87. The code numbers are listed by categories of devices, then by brand. After you enter a three-digit code, look at the component to see if it has turned off. (You do not have to press SEL or ENT to enter the code.)

Continue to enter code numbers until the component turns off.

Note

If the component fails to turn off after you have entered all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through the other brands in the table using the UP and DOWN options on the LCD screen (there is a chance that your component was actually manufactured by another brand). However, most of the code tables are large, so it is usually faster to use the learning method described on page 72.

7 When the component turns off, save the code number you entered by selecting the SAVE option on the LCD screen.
8 Press the MAIN button twice to exit the SETUP menu.
9 Test the Ensemble HD remote control to make sure it has all the functions you need for your component. When you select your component's menu, you should see all the functions needed to operate it. If any commands are missing, you can copy them from the component's original remote control (see page 72).

Note

Refer to the manual that came with your component for instructions on using the commands to operate it.

Customizing the Remote Control Menu

For most components that can be connected to the Ensemble HD system, a full set of functions is already programmed into the remote control. These functions work with all the components listed in the tables starting on page 85. If you've connected a different type of component or want to customize the menu for your device, follow the steps below.

Note

There are 10 devices listed in the remote control's MAIN menu. You cannot add new ones, but you can modify an existing one to customize it for your new component.

1 First enter the code for you component, as described on page 37. If you successfully enter the correct code, the remote control will automatically create the appropriate commands in the menu for the new device.
2 If desired, change the menu name for the new device on the remote control. For example, you might want to change AUX to HDTV. To change the device name, see “Editing Device Names and Commands” on page 75.

Note

If you change the device name on the remote control, it will not match the name shown on the projection screen when you select your component for viewing.

3 If necessary, delete any functions currently displayed in the menu that you don't need. See "Editing Device Names and Commands" on page 75.
4 If any functions are missing, copy them from component's original remote control. See “Learning Commands from Another Remote Control” on page 72.

• “ A d j u s t i n g t h e S c r e e n L e n g t h ” o n
• "Adjusting the Image Position and Focus" on page 56
• "Checking the Projector Lamp" on page 58
• "Replacing Remote Control Batteries" on page 59

Warning

Never open the cover on the projector or other components. Dangerous electrical voltages can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this User's Guide.

Cleaning

Warning

Before you clean any part of the system, turn the system off and unplug the power cord.

Cleaning the Screen

If the screen gets soiled, clean it using a clean, white, 100% cotton cloth. Dampen the cloth with clean, clear water (do not use detergents). Gently wipe the soiled area in one direction only. Do not use a circular motion. Wipe any moisture from the screen using a dry cotton cloth.

A lint roller or masking tape may be used to remove loose dust or lint.

Cleaning the Projector Lens

Clean the lens if you notice dirt or dust on the surface. To remove dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning tissue. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

Caution

Clean the lens gently to avoid changing the focus or misaligning the image with the screen. If this happens, see "Adjusting the Image Position and Focus" on page 56.

Cleaning System Components

You can clean the outside of the system components to remove dust and fingerprints. Before cleaning, turn off the system and unplug the power cord.

- To remove dirt or dust, wipe the component 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 component and dry it with a dry cloth.

Caution

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage components.

Adjusting the Screen Length

You can adjust how far the screen comes down when you open it. The screen is factory-set to come down 55 inches, but you can set it to come down as far as 64 inches, with a 12-inch black drop at the top.

Note

If you change the position of the screen, you'll have to reposition the image. See page 56 for instructions.

1 Make sure the MAIN menu is displayed on the remote control. If necessary, press the MAIN button.
2 Press the PAGE button to display additional components.
3 Press the button to the right of PROJ to select the projector menu.
4 Use the following commands to raise and lower the screen, and to stop it at the desired position:

• S-UP to raise the screen
• S-DWN to lower the screen

When the screen comes to a stop, press S-DWN again to lower it beyond the current stop-position.

You can bring it down as far as the maximum length set by the adjustment screw described in “Manual Screen Adjustment” on page 55.

• S-STP to stop the screen

5 Once the screen is positioned where you want it, press S-SET to set the screen position.

6 Press S-UP to raise the screen fully.

Note

You must raise the screen all the way for the new position to take effect.

7 Press S-DWN re-open the screen. Verify that it comes down and stops at the desired position.

Manual Screen Adjustment

If you weren't able to adjust the screen length precisely enough using the remote control, you can adjust it using the 4-mm Allen wrench that came with your system. This adjustment sets the maximum length that the screen can come down.

Caution

Do not allow the screen to descend more than 64 inches (with a black drop of more than 12 inches), or the fabric could separate from the roller.

1 After adjusting the screen length as described in the previous section, press S-DWN on the remote control to lower the screen fully.

2 Locate the lower-limit adjustment screw on the left side of the screen roller, inside the screen casing.

Caution

Do not turn the upper-limit adjustment screw, located to the rear of the lower-limit adjustment screw.

3 Use a 4-mm Allen wrench to rotate the adjustment screw:

To raise the screen: Turn the screw clockwise.

To lower the screen: Turn the screw counterclockwise.

Each turn changes the screen's stop-position by two-thirds of an inch. However, since the screen doesn't move as you adjust it, you'll need to estimate how far to turn the screw. After turning the screw the estimated number of turns, remove the Allen wrench and press S-UP on the remote control to raise the screen fully. Then press S-DWN to re-open the screen. Verify that it comes down and stops at the desired position.

Adjusting the Image Position and Focus

If you adjusted how far the screen comes down (see page 54), you'll need to reposition the image on the screen as described below. You may also need to reposition or refocus the image if you cleaned the lens and accidentally changed it from its original position.

Repositioning the Image

1 Remove the cover on the bottom of the projector enclosure to access the lens shift dials on the projector. Slide the cover straight forward, then remove it. (The cover is held in place with clips, which may be tight.)

2 If desired, you can display a test pattern to help adjust the image position. You'll need to use the remote control that came with the projector (not the Ensemble HD remote). Press the Pattern button on the remote control to display the pattern. Press the Pattern button again to turn it off.

3 Use the horizontal lens shift dial to move the image left or right. Use the vertical lens shift dial to move the image up or down.

Note

Do not try to move the lens by hand, or you may damage the projector. Always use the lens shift dials to change the image position. If a lens shift dial becomes hard to turn, you cannot adjust the position any further.

4 When you're done adjusting the image position, replace the cover on the bottom of the projector enclosure.

Focusing and Resizing the Image

Use the focus ring to sharpen the image, or the zoom ring to resize it.

Checking the Projector Lamp

The projector lamp lasts for up to 3000 hours. You can use the Info menu to check how long it's been in use (see below). It's time to replace the lamp when:

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
• The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen when you start projecting.
• The projector's warning light flashes red at half-second intervals (see below for details).

Note

Lamp life results will vary depending on mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage. Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.

Checking the Info Menu

If you have access to the remote control that came with the projector (not the Ensemble HD remote), you can use it to check the projector's Info menu to find out how long the lamp has been in use. If you don't have the remote control, you'll need to remove the cover on the bottom of the projector enclosure (see page 56) and then use the buttons on the projector's control panel to display the Info menu.

1 Press the Menu button on the projector's remote control or on its control panel.
2 Use the menu navigation buttons to open the Info menu.
3 Check the Lamp Hours to determine how long the lamp has been in use.

Advanced Remote Control Setup

You can change the behavior of your remote control by editing device names (menu screen titles), editing command names, creating macros, adding or hiding menu pages, and setting up “punch through” commands (rarely used). See these sections:

• "Editing Device Names and Commands" below
• "Setting Up Macros" on page 77
• "Adding or Hiding Pages" on page 78
• “Erasing Learned Buttons and Macros” on page 79
• "Using Remote Control Punch-Through" on page 80

Editing Device Names and Commands

Each type of device (DVD, CABLE, etc.) has its own menu with commands listed on multiple pages. You can customize the name of the device (which is also the name of the menu) or any command listed in the menu. If you are adding a new command from another remote control (see page 72) or creating a macro (see page 77), you'll first need to add the command name to a blank space in the menu, as described below. If there isn't a space already, you'll need to add a blank page (see "Adding or Hiding Pages" on page 78).

1 Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT buttons for approximately three seconds. The top of the screen displays SETUP.

Note

You have 30 seconds to complete each step. After that, the remote control returns to normal operation.

7 To edit any other commands for the same device, select the command and repeat steps 5 and 6.
8 When you've finished making edits, press the MAIN button several times to return to normal operation.

Setting Up Macros

A macro lets you perform several operations in sequence automatically. For example, when you press the ON button to turn on the Ensemble HD system, the remote control turns on the projector, turns on the AV controller, and lowers the screen—all with one press of a button.

If you find there are other operations you sometimes perform together—for example, turning on your cable box and DVR—you can create a macro to perform the operations automatically. You store the macro by saving it as a menu option for a particular device (for example, you could create a macro called SYS ON in the DVR menu).

Note

You cannot use any of the physical buttons on the remote control to store a macro.

1 Choose a name for the new macro and add it to the desired menu (see "Editing Device Names and Commands" on page 75).
2 Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT buttons for approximately three seconds. The top of the screen displays SETUP.

Note

You have 30 seconds to complete each step. After that, the remote control returns to normal operation.

3 Select the MACRO option.

4 Navigate through the menu pages to the newly created menu item you want to turn into a macro, and press the button to its right.

The bottom of the screen flashes Step 0.

5 Press the sequence of buttons for all the steps you want the macro to perform. Each time you press a button, the bottom of the screen flashes Step 1, Step 2, etc. Your macro can hold up to 190 steps.

Note

You can program delays into the macro by pressing the || pause button. Each time you press the || pause button, it adds a one-half second delay.

5 Press the MAIN button several times to return to normal operation.

Using Remote Control Punch-Through

The Ensemble HD remote control is pre-programmed to let you operate various devices, each from its own menu. For example, if you've connected a high-definition DVD player, you can operate it from the HD menu; or you can operate a satellite receiver from the SAT menu. However, you may want to be able to operate your high-definition DVD player from the MAIN menu so you can also access the Ensemble HD setup menu, and adjust the picture or sound at the same time, for example. To do this, you create a “punch through.” This lets you use the remote control to operate certain functions of one device, while you have the menu screen open for another device. (You can punch commands through any menu, not just the MAIN menu.)

Note

The volume control is automatically punched through to your home theater system from every device.

Follow these steps to set up a punch-through:

1 Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both the the screen displays SETUP.

MAIN and ENT buttons for three seconds. The top of

Note

You have 30 seconds to complete each step. After that, the remote control returns to normal operation.

3 Select the button group that contains the type of function you want to punch through:

• CH: Channel up/down and number buttons (0–9 and Enter)
  • PLAY: Play, pause, stop, rewind, and fast-forward
  • VOD (Video On Demand): Guide, Menu, Info, ESC, arrow buttons (▲▼◀▶), and Select
  • POWER: Power on and off

The bottom of the screen displays PUNCH TO.

4 Select the menu from which you want to be able to operate the device that's not normally controlled by that menu, or press the OFF button to select the MAIN menu. For example, to operate your satellite receiver from the MAIN menu, press the OFF button.

The bottom of the screen displays PUNCH FROM.

5 Select the device that you want to be able to operate—for example, SAT for a satellite receiver.

The bottom of the screen displays SAVED.

6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 to set up additional punch-throughs, or press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.

Using an RF Base Station

You can use the Ensemble HD remote control to operate components such as a cable box or satellite receiver, even if they're hidden inside a cabinet. You can do this by using an optional RF base station (radio-frequency receiver) to relay the remote control's commands. An RF base station lets you send commands to components that are not located near the AV controller, or are located inside a closed space such as a cabinet. The base station receives RF commands from the remote control and relays them to each of your components, wherever they're located. (This is possible because the Ensemble HD remote control emits both IR and RF signals.)

Note

The AV controller included with your system can be used in a closed space even without a base station. That's because the sensor that receives commands for it is located at the top of the screen.

The Ensemble HD remote control is compatible with RF base stations made by Universal Remote Control (www.UniversalRemote.com). Both addressable and non-addressable versions are available. Addressable ones let you avoid interference from other RF remote controls being used nearby. See the next section for instructions on setting up an addressable base station. (If you have a non-addressable base station, you probably won't need to change any of the RF settings.)

Setting Up an Addressable Base Station

If you have an addressable base station, there are several RF settings you may need to adjust on the remote control. At a minimum, you should set the ID # to match the one assigned to your base station.

1 Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT buttons for approximately three seconds. The top of the screen displays SETUP.

Note

You have 30 seconds to complete each step. After that, the remote control returns to normal operation.

2 Select the RF option. You see this screen:

3 Select the setting you want to adjust:

• IR/RF to cause the remote control to emit IR signals only, RF signals only, or IR and RF signals at the same time. If a component receives IR signals directly from the remote control and from the base station at the same time, the signals may interfere with each other, so you should set the remote control to use only RF signals with that component. (You can select the component in step 4.)
• ID # to select the receiver ID # of your addressable base station. Select an address other than 0 (zero) to prevent interference from other RF remote controls in the vicinity.
• EMITT to route commands through specific emitters plugged into the base station. (The ID # must be set to a non-zero address to select this option.)
• BLAST to turn the base station's IR blaster on or off. You may want to turn it off if the blaster's high-power LED saturates or overpowers the sensors of some AV components. (The ID # must be set to a non-zero address to select this option.)

4 On the next screen, select whether you want the setting to apply to the menu options for all 10 devices listed on the MAIN menu of the remote control (select ALL) or just the ones for a specific device (select DEVIC).

If you select DEVIC (Device), the next screen lets you select the device you want the setting to apply to. Select from DVD, CABLE, SAT, etc. (Use the PAGE ∧ or ∨ button to display all the devices.)

5 On the next screen, finish adjusting the selected setting:

• For the IR/RF setting, select IR&RF, IR, or RF.
• For the ID # setting, select UP or DOWN to change the ID #.
• For the EMITT setting, select ALL to route the signal through all the emitters. Or select UP or DOWN to change the Line Output number (this refers to the jack where you plugged in the emitter for a specific component).
• For the BLAST setting, select ON or OFF.

6 Select SAVE to save your setting.

7 Select EXIT to return to the SETUP menu, or press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.

Restoring Remote Control Factory Defaults

If you customize the remote control and find that it no longer works correctly, you can restore it to its original settings.

Caution

This procedure erases all commands and macros you taught the remote control, and any other customized changes you may have made.

1 To restore the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ■ stop buttons for about 10 seconds. During this time, you see WARNING flash at the bottom of the screen.

2 When you see the RESET screen shown below, release the buttons.

3 Select SURE? to erase all customized settings, or select EXIT to cancel.

After you restore the remote control, it re-initializes and you see the MAIN menu after several seconds.

Remote Control Codes

The program codes provided in this chapter let you set up your remote control to work with devices made by other companies. See “Connecting and Using Other Components” on page 31 for instructions on using such devices with your system.

If you need to recall the code number you selected for a device, see “Recalling Programmed Codes” on page 86.

Using the Code Tables

The code tables in this chapter (starting on page 87) let you quickly program your remote control to work with different brands of equipment you may own. See “Setting Up the Remote Control” on page 36 for instructions.

The codes are divided into categories (TV, cable, DVD, etc.). Each category may include different types of components. For example, the DVD category includes TV/DVD combo units. In each section, the code numbers are listed by brand (Sony, Panasonic, etc.). Some brands have more than one code for you to try.

You cannot play other types of discs, such as DVD-Audio, SACD, CD-ROM, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, or DVD-ROM. Depending on the characteristics of your recorder or media, some recordable discs may not play properly.

DVDs must be recorded in the NTSC color system and be encoded for playing in Region 1. Commercial DVDs should be marked with the Region 1 symbol:

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 or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and 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.

Model: ELPHC100/ELPHC200

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty

Epson Ensemble HD Home Theater System

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser of the Epson Ensemble Home Theater System (which includes the projector, screen, speakers, sub-woofer, AV controller, projector cradle, projector mount, and wiring package) covered by this limited warranty statement that the System, if purchased new and operated only in the United States or Canada, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase. This limited warranty applies only to the System and not to the projector lamp, which carries a ninety (90) day warranty from the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do to Correct Problems: Should any element of the System or the lamp prove defective during the limited warranty period, please call the Epson Connection ^SM at [phone] + PIN or [phone] in the U.S. and [phone] in Canada for warranty instructions and return authorization. When you call, please be prepared to provide the service technician with the product model and the product serial number (located on the back of the screen weight bar), along with proof of the date of original purchase. The service technician will provide telephone diagnostics to determine whether your unit needs service, and detailed instructions if it is determined that service is needed. When Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement product to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in Canada or the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions). Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within ten (10) working days of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the cost of the replacement product in the event that you fail to return the defective one. When service involves the exchange of a unit or its parts, the items replaced become the property of Epson. The exchanged product or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson's option, the replacement may be another model of like kind and quality. Epson's liability for replacement of the covered product will not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product. The new items assume the remaining warranty period of the original product. If Epson chooses to replace a defective product or part, a replacement product or part will be shipped to you at no charge, but it is your responsibility to pay any labor costs for installation and removal.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use of the product. Twenty-four-hour-per-day or other excessive continual use is not considered normal use. This warranty does not cover consumables (e.g., fuses or filters) other than lamps. This warranty is not transferable. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred.

THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM ARE VOID. IN THE EVENT THE REMEDIES ABOVE FAIL, EPSON'S ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE PRICE PAID FOR THE EPSON PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY, NEITHER EPSON AMERICA, INC. NOR ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INCONVENIENCE, OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER RESULTING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
