Compatible Video Formats
The projector supports the following international video
standards: NTSC, HDTV, PAL, and SECAM, as well as the
monitor display formats listed below.
To project images output from a computer, the computer’s
video card must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency)
that’s compatible with the projector; see the following table
for compatible formats. As noted below, some images are
automatically resized to display in one of the projector’s
“native” formats (such as XGA). In addition, the frequencies
of some computers may not allow images to display correctly;
see your computer’s documentation for details.

Computer Video Port Pin Assignments
The Computer 1 analog port and the Monitor Out port are
female video RGB, 15-pin micro-D-style connectors. Here are
their pin assignments:
Positioning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
❏Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
3.6 and 48 feet from the screen.
❏Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector.
❏Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of the
image source.
❏Face the projector squarely toward the screen. Otherwise,
your image won’t be square.
Note: It’s easier to position the projector when the screen is
directly in front of the room. If the screen is placed diagonally in a
corner, it’s much more difficult to aim the projector squarely at
the screen and get a non-distorted image.
If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the
projector upward causes the image to lose its square shape, but
you can correct the distortion by pressing the Keystone
button as described on page 6.

If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If
you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen,
the image will still be square, but you won’t be able to fill the
whole screen with the image.
The projector can be installed for three different viewing
setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, or rear projection
onto a semi-transparent screen, as shown:
To project from overhead, you’ll need to select Ceilin
g
in the
projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select
Rear Proj.
If you’re ceiling-mounting the projector and you place it
above screen level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the
image on-screen. This causes the image to lose its square
shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the
Keystone function in the projector’s menu system or by using
the Keystone button on the projector’s control panel.
If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the
screen, the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust
it. If you place the lens lower than the top of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole
screen with the image.
Image Size and Projection Distance
Use the tables below to estimate how far to place the projector
from the screen. Since the size of the image can be changed by
rotating the zoom ring, a range of distance is given for each
screen size.
Note that if you tilt the projector upward by extending the
feet or use electronic keystone correction, your image size may
vary.

❏To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens cleaning
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-
based cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the projector case, turn off the projector and
unplug the power cord.
❏To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case 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 case.
❏Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical
detergents. These can damage the case.
Cleaning or Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every
100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can
become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This
can cause overheating and damage the projector.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the
power cord.
2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top
and you can access the filter easily.
3. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter
using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s camel-hair brush).
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace
it. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at [phone] in
the United States and Canada to obtain a new one.
Note: When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a
new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when
you replace the lamp.

4. If you need to replace the filter, remove it as shown below.
Make sure the projector is on its side as shown (not turned
upside down) to prevent dust from falling inside.
5. To install the new filter, first insert the tabs, then press on
the catch until it clicks in place.
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1500 hours of
use. It is time to replace the lamp when:
❏The projection image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏The lamp warning light is flashing red or orange.
❏The message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when
the projector lamp comes on (after about 1400 hours of use).
To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace
the lamp as soon as possible.
Note: You can check to see how many hours the lamp has been
used through the About menu.
Contact your dealer or call EPSON at [phone] in the
United States and Canada for a replacement lamp. Request
part number ELPLP12.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Allow the projector to cool down for at least an hour (if it
has been on).
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the lamp cover.
(You can’t remove the screw from the cover.)
When the screw is loose, slide off the lamp cover.
4. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws holding the lamp
in place. (You can’t remove these screws.)
5. Lift up the wire handle, as shown, and pull the lamp straight
out. (The plastic flap above the lamp will flex out of the way
as you remove the lamp.)
6. Fully insert the new lamp. (The plastic flap will flex out of
the way.)
Caution: Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly.
7. Once the lamp is fully inserted, tighten its screws.
