Compatible Video Formats
To project images from a computer, the computer’s video card
must be set at a refresh rate 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.
* The image is resized using EPSON’s SizeWise™Technology.

Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you
position the zoom ring and whether you have adjusted the
image size with other settings.
If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown on page 5.
This causes the projector to lose its square shape, but the
projector automatically compensates. You can manually
correct the distortion by pressing the Keystone button as
described on page 5.
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.
Starting Up the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below, followed by any equipment you’ve connected to it. You
can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order,
but if you have both a computer and video source connected,
you may have to switch to the desired source as described on
page 4.
Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.
Caution: Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place.

2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s
power inlet.
3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
The P
power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet
turned on.
4. Press the red P
Power button on top of the projector. You
can also use the P
Power button on the remote control.
The P
power light flashes green as the projector warms up,
and the projection lamp comes on in about 40 seconds.
Then the power light stays green.
Warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This
can damage your eyes.
5. Select the source as follows:
❏On the control panel, the Source button switches
between equipment connected to the Video, S-Video,
and Computer/Component Video ports, or to
EasyMP™(for wireless network and memory card
presentations).
❏On the remote control, the Comp/EasyMP button
switches between a computer source and EasyMP. The

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
❏Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
❏To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner
and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution: Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens.
Cleaning the Projector
Before you clean the case, first 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 mild detergent. Then wipe the case.
❏Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other
chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter on the side 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.
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug
the power cord.
Caution: To prevent dust from falling into the projector, do
not place it on its end.
2. 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 EPSON to obtain a new
one.
3. If you need to replace the filter, lift the tab and pull it
upward to remove the filter.
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. To install the new filter, first insert the tabs, then press
down until it clicks into place.
— Flashing red** The lamp may be burned out. First
make sure the lamp cover is securely
installed. If that’s not the problem,
remove the lamp and replace it as
described on page 12.
— Red The projector has overheated, which
turns the lamp off automatically.
Wait until the cooling fan stops, then
unplug the power cord. Plug the
power cord in and press the P
Power button. Make sure there is
plenty of space around and under
the projector for ventilation. If it
continues to overheat, you may need
to change the air filter. See page 11
for instructions.
If it still continues to overheat, the
problem may be caused by damage
to the cooling fan or temperature
sensor. Contact EPSON for help.
