    Positioning the Projector
    Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to 
    place it. The location you choose depends on the size of the 
    room and what you are projecting.
    ❏Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between 
    2.9 and 34.4 feet from the screen.
    ❏Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and 
    under the projector. Leave at least 8 inches between the 
    projector and a wall.
    ❏Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet 
    or extension cord and within 5 feet of your computer and/or 
    video source. 
    ❏Place the projector directly in front of the center of the 
    screen, facing the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image 
    will not be rectangular.
    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 correctly at the screen and 
    get a rectangular image.
    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. Tilting the 
    projector upward causes the image to lose its rectangular 
    shape, but the Auto Keystone feature corrects the distortion 
    automatically. If the image does not regain its rectangular 
    shape, the Auto Keystone feature may have been disabled. To 
    turn it on, see page 5.
    If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen, 
    the image will be rectangular 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 rectangular, 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 y ou r  p r o j ec to r , a s  de sc r ib e d 
    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 in 
    step 5 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. The heat 
    generated by the lamp can damage the cap.

    							EPSON PowerLite 53c/73c Projector
    4 - EPSON PowerLite 53c/73c Projector 11/02 2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power 
    inlet. 
    3. Connect the other end to an electrical outlet. 
    The power light on top of the projector turns orange, 
    indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet 
    turned on. Wait until the light stops flashing, but stays lit 
    orange.
    4. Press the P 
    Power button on top of the projector or on the 
    remote control. 
    The power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and 
    the projection lamp comes on in about 40 seconds. The 
    power light stays green. 
    Wa r n i n g
    Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your 
    eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.
    5. Do one of the following:
    ❏If you’re using a computer, turn it on or restart it. In a 
    few moments, you should see your computer display 
    projected. 
    (Windows
    ® only: If you see a message saying that it has 
    found a plug-and-play monitor, click 
    Cancel.) 
    ❏If you’re projecting a video, press the 
    Source button on 
    top of the projector or the 
    S-Video/Video button on the 
    remote control to switch to your video source. Then press 
    the 
    Play button on your DVD player or other device.If a projected image fails to appear, see the next section for 
    help. 
    Once you see your image, turn to page 5 for instructions on 
    focusing and making other image adjustments. 
    When you’re done with your presentation, shut down the 
    projector as described on page 6. Shutting down the projector 
    correctly prevents premature lamp failure and possible damage 
    from overheating. 
    What To Do If You See a Blank Screen
    If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the message No 
    Signal
     after turning on your computer or video source, try the 
    following:
    ❏Make sure the cables are connected correctly.
    ❏Make sure the power light is green and not flashing and the 
    lens cover is off. 
    ❏Try restarting your computer.
    ❏Press the 
    Source button on top of the projector to select the 
    correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync 
    up after pressing the button.)
    If you’re using a PC laptop:
    ❏Hold down the 
    Fn key and press the function key that lets 
    you display on an external monitor. It may have an icon such 
    as   or it may be labelled 
    CRT/LCD. Allow a few seconds 
    for the projector to sync up after pressing it. Check your 
    laptop’s manual or online help for details. 
    On most systems, the   or 
    CRT/LCD key lets you toggle 
    between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on 
    both at the same time. 
    ❏Depending on your computer’s video card, you might need 
    to use the Display utility in the Control Panel to make sure 
    that both the LCD screen and external monitor port are 
    enabled. See your computer’s documentation or online help 
    for details.
    If you’re using a Macintosh laptop with OS 9.x or earlier:
    You may need to set up your system to display on the 
    projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Follow these steps:
    1. From the Apple menu, select 
    Control Panels, then click 
    Monitors or Monitors and Sound.
    2. Click the 
    Arrange icon.
    3. Drag one monitor icon on top of the other. 
    If the 
    Arrange option isn’t available, you may need to select 
    one of the Simulscan resolution settings:
    1. Click the 
    Monitor icon, if necessary. 
    2. Select a 
    Simulscan resolution. (Allow a few seconds for the 
    projector to sync up after making the selection.)

    Adjusting the Image
    Once you see your image, you may need to make certain 
    adjustments, as described in this section.
    Focusing and Zooming Your Image
    Rotate the focus ring to sharpen the image.
    Rotate the zoom ring to reduce or enlarge the image.
    You can also change the image size by moving the projector 
    closer to or farther away from the screen. You can use the 
    E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a 
    portion of the image. See page 8 for instructions. Adjusting the Height of Your Image
    If the image is too low, you can raise it by extending the 
    projector’s feet.
     
    1. Stand behind the projector. Press the blue foot release levers 
    and lift the front of the projector. This unlocks the feet.
    2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the 
    levers to lock the feet in position.
    3. To fine-tune the height of the image, rotate the projector’s 
    feet.
    If the image is no longer rectangular after raising it, see the 
    next section.
    Adjusting the Image Shape
    If the projected image isn’t rectangular or has a “keystone” 
    shape, do one or more of the following:
    ❏If your image looks like   or  , you’ve placed the 
    projector off to one side of the screen, at an angle. Move it 
    directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen 
    squarely.
    ❏If your image looks like   or  , the Auto Keystone 
    feature has been disabled. You can correct this by turning on 
    the Auto Keystone feature or by manually adjusting the 
    keystone correction value.
    To turn on Auto Keystone, press the 
    Menu button on the 
    remote control. Use the directional buttons to select the 
    Setting menu, then press Enter. Use the directional buttons 
    to highlight 
    Auto Keystone and to turn the feature on. Press 
    the 
    Enter button to save your changes, then exit the menu by 
    pressing the 
    Menu button. (Auto Keystone is not available 
    when you’re using ceiling or rear projection.)
    To manually adjust the keystone correction value, press the 
     or   side of the 
    Keystone button on the projector to 
    correct the shape of the image. After correction, your image 
    will be slightly smaller.
    You can also perform electronic keystone correction using the 
    projector’s Setting menu.

    6 - EPSON PowerLite 53c/73c Projector 11/02 Adjusting the Color Mode
    You may want to adjust the color mode to select a different 
    setting that is appropriate for the image you’re projecting and 
    the surroundings in which you’re projecting it.
    If you’re projecting computer images, the default color mode 
    is 
    Normal, which is appropriate for presentations in bright 
    rooms. For video or S-Video images, the default color mode is 
    Theatre, which optimizes video images using natural colors.
    You can also select one of these color modes:
    To change the color mode, press the 
    Color Mode button on 
    the remote control. The currently selected setting appears in 
    the upper right corner of the screen. You can also use the 
    projector menu system to select the Color Mode in the Video 
    menu.
    Shutting Down the Projector
    When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the 
    recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life 
    of the lamp and protects the projector from possible 
    overheating. 
    Note
    When the projector has not received any input signals for 
    30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters 
    “sleep mode.” This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and 
    extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector, 
    unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press 
    the P 
    Power button. 
    1. If you’re using a computer, shut it down first.
    2. To turn off the projector, press the P 
    Power button on the 
    projector or remote control. You see a confirmation message. 
    (If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.)
    3. Press the P 
    Power button again. The power light flashes 
    orange for about forty-five seconds as the projector cools 
    down. When the projector has cooled, the orange light stays 
    on and the exhaust fan shuts off.If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the 
    orange light stops flashing. Then press the P 
    Power button.
    4. Retract the front feet as shown.
    5. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord.
    Caution
    To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power 
    cord when the power light is green or flashing orange.
    6. If you’re using a VCR or other video source, turn it off after 
    you turn off the projector.
    7. Disconnect all equipment, and store the projector in the soft 
    case that came with it or in a protective case.
    Projector Status Lights
    The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s 
    status and let you know when a problem occurs.
    If the projector is not working correctly, first turn it off and 
    unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the 
    projector. If this does not solve the problem, check the status 
    lights on top of the projector and try the solutions 
    recommended in the table on the next page.

    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 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. 
    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.
    To clean the air filter, follow these steps:
    1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the 
    power cord.
    2. Turn the projector upside-down.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.
    4. If you need to replace the filter, lift the tab on the filter cover 
    and pull it upward to remove it.
    5. Remove the filter.
    6. Install the new filter as shown below.
