Welcome1 W Welcome Your EPSON® PowerLite® is the smallest, most lightweight projector to offer powerful 3-LCD performance. It weighs less than 6 pounds and displays full-color images at a resolution of 1024 ´ 768 pixels (PowerLite 700c/710c) or 800 ´ 600 pixels (PowerLite 500c). Producing up to 1000 ANSI lumens, your projector creates bright images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes. Digital keystone correction, picture-in-picture technology, and electronic zoom are some of the advanced features of your projector. You can connect it simultaneously to two image sources: a computer and a video device, such as a VCR, DVD player, laser disc player, camcorder, or digital camera. You can also connect audio for each image source. You operate your projector through a hand-held remote control, with buttons for zooming in on your image, adjusting volume, and accessing all the projector’s features. You can also use the remote control as a wireless mouse, and run your presentation as you move around the room. EPSON’s SizeWise ™ technology supports a range of computer outputs, for a full-size image from just about any notebook PC or PowerBook. ® If you use a VCR or other video source, the projector automatically senses the video format, so you can use it with confidence no matter where in the world you travel. The EPSON PrivateLine SM Technical Support program will get you help when you need it. A special 800 number and your own PIN will connect you with a projector support specialist—fast.
2Welcome Tips for Powerful Presentations Your PowerLite projector gives you all the tools you need to give a professional presentation. But you still have to prepare your materials and practice your delivery. Here are some tips that should help: nGet the facts. What is the purpose of the presentation? Who will be in the audience? How long will you have for your presentation? How big is the room? See Chapter 1 for tips on the best way to set up the projector based on room size. nFocus your content. Try to narrow down the subject matter so you can deliver exactly what your audience is expecting. Determine what action you want your audience to take—are you selling them a product or an idea? Make sure you do the research required to sound like an expert. nDevelop effective visuals. Studies show that visuals are the best way to reach your audience and help them retain your message. Make sure you know how to use your presentation software effectively. Using the templates that come with most presentation packages will ensure that the colors, layout, type fonts, and other elements work together. nPractice. When it comes to presentations, practice makes perfect. The better prepared you are, the less nervous you’ll be, and the more you’ll come across as an authority. Using your projector and remote control will be easy with a little practice. See Chapter 2 for instructions. nPrepare for takeoff. Make sure you have all the equipment you need before you leave. There’s nothing more frustrating than discovering at the last minute that a cable is missing or your remote control batteries ran out. See the back of your Start Here folder for a checklist of take-along items.
