Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide , do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

W Welcome1 - Welcome The EPSON® PowerLite® 505c/715c are super-portable projectors that offer up to 1200 ANSI lumens of brightness. From boardrooms to auditoriums, your full-color presentations and videos will be bright and visible even in ordinary room lighting. The new EPSON EasyMP ™ feature lets you show a presentation without attaching a computer to the projector. Simply drag and drop your file and download it to the projector’s memory card. You can rearrange your slides, display images captured from videos, or have your presentation play automatically. Images are displayed at a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels (PowerLite 715c) or 800 × 600 pixels (PowerLite 505c). Three 0.9-inch LCDs provide a 400:1 contrast ratio for incredibly vivid images and clear text. Support for component video and S-video contribute to theater-quality performance. With EPSON’s patented SizeWise ™ chip, the projector supports computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA (through SXGA on the PowerLite 505c). You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including IBM ® compatible PCs and laptops, Apple® Macintosh,® Power Macintosh ™ series (including G3 and G4 systems), PowerBook® computers, many iMac ™ and iBook™ series systems, and high-end workstations such as the Sun ® SPARCstation.™ You can use any of the following video sources: VCR, DVD player, camcorder, digital camera, or laser disc player, supporting HDTV, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video.
