Product(s): Powerlite 8300/8300 with EasyMP.net/9300 series Projectors
Subject: Filter-Cleaning Procedures
This bulletin was created to inform users about the filter-cleaning procedures necessary for
maintaining proper airflow and reducing the potential for overheating.
Reason:
The PowerLite 8300 and 9300 series projectors have five (5) filters that must be cleaned on a regular
basis. Cleaning the filters is critical to maintaining proper airflow inside the projector and reducing
possible overheating issues. Incomplete or infrequent filter-cleaning maintenance can cause one or
more filters to accumulate excessive dust over time. This can inhibit proper airflow so that the
projector begins to overheat during operation and eventually shut down. The next section provides
information on the location of the filters on the projector, cleaning instructions and recommended
maintenance schedules.
Action:
The following filters should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. For dusty environments, filter
cleaning should be performed more frequently.
1) Wire mesh filter (inside lamp housing shutter):
Hold shutter open and use a computer vacuum to remove dust.

2) Air intake filters (2)--located at bottom of projector:
Use a computer vacuum to clean both filters. If you don’t have one, then use a soft brush and gently
clean the filters. If the dirt is difficult to remove or either filter is damaged or broken, replace the
filter(s).
Note: Both filters should be replaced when the lamp is replaced.
3) Power supply intake filter (located on side of projector—opposite handle side)
Use a computer vacuum to clean dust from the filter and vents.

4) Lamp intake filter (circular filter located at bottom of projector)
Use a computer vacuum to clean dust from the filter and vents.

Product(s): PowerLite 8300i
Subject: 1400 x 1050 DVI Compatibility Support
Reason:
This bulletin is to inform you of the testing results for 1400 x 1050 DVI full-screen resolution
with the Epson PowerLite 8300i Projector.
Question:
1. Has the Epson PowerLite 8300 projector been tested for 1400 x 1050 DVI
full-screen display compatibility?
2. What type of DVI port is on the PowerLite 8300 and PowerLite 9300 Projectors?
Answer:
1. The Projector has native resolution of 1280 x 1024. Its maximum “DVI” resolution is 1280 x
1024. This Projector can only support 1400 x 1050 DVI full-screen display using a DVI-D
to VGA 15HD cable. Detailed information listed below.
2. The port on the rear A/V module is DVI-D (DVI Digital) dual link. It is not an analog port
and does not have the 4 extra analog pins for DVI-I (DVI Digital and Analog). A DVI-I cable
cannot physically attach to the port since it can cause damage to the cable.

Subject: 1400 x 1050 Compatibility Support
Reason:
This bulletin is to inform you of the testing results for 1400 x 1050 full-screen resolution with
the Epson PowerLite 8300i and PowerLite 9300i video projectors.
Question:
1. Have the Epson PowerLite 8300 and PowerLite 9300 Projectors been tested for
1400 x 1050 full-screen display compatibility?
2. Why do some laptops undersize the screen and perform in a pan-and-scan function on
projectors with 1400 x 1050 native resolutions?
Answer:
1. Yes, the Projectors have been confirmed functional with various video sources and
software operating systems for full-screen display performance. Detailed information
listed below.
2. Various laptop manufacturers use ATI RagePro or ATI Radeon chipsets for the built-in
LCD screen. The “Advanced Settings” of the video driver function in pan-and-scan
mode when re-directing video to the external video port. The true output at the VGA
15-HD port is only 1280 x 1024 as verified using by a VGA monitor that can sense and
display the video settings from the monitor’s menu options.

[Cinema Color Editor]
Security alert screen (Cinema Color Editor)
The functions of the three buttons displayed in the security alert screen are explained
below.
[Keep Blocking] --- Enables you to register a started application in the “Exceptions”
program of the Windows Firewall. The network port that the
application uses is blocked. By selecting this button once, this
security alert message will not be shown when starting the
application next time.
[Unblock] ------------- Enables you to register a started application in the “Exceptions”
program of the Windows Firewall and unblock the network port that
the application uses. By selecting this option once, this security alert
message will not be shown when starting the application next time.
[Ask me later]-------- When you want to select both buttons above or select either one
later, this button is selected. The started application is not registered
in the “Exceptions” program of the Windows Firewall and the
network that the application uses is not unblocked. However, when
restarting the application, the same security alert message is shown.
•PC applications will work normally on Windows XP with SP2 if the “Unblock
Item” is selected when the security alert screen is shown.
For the detail operation information of each application, please refer to the following:

Operating Status Report
When selecting the Keep Blocking button, the security alert message is closed and the
main screen of each application is displayed.
[EMP NS Connection Application]
Port 3620 is necessary for searching for projectors. If this port is blocked, projectors are not
detected.
The other applications operate normally. However, there is a case that execution of
automatic search disables automatic detection. This occurs when projectors are registered
for automatic detection in EMP Monitor before installing SP2, then the registered projectors
may not be detected again after SP2 installation. Therefore it is recommended to select
Unblock in the security alert screen.
If “Keep Blocking” has been selected when starting the application for the first
time, and the blocking needs to be removed, complete the execution of the application and
proceed with unblocking as follows:
a.) Start the Windows Security Center. Double click the icon in the shape of a shield that
is always displayed on the taskbar after the installation of SP2.
