    Compatible Video Formats
    The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM international 
    video standards, as well as the monitor and HDTV display 
    formats listed below.
    To project images output from a computer, the computer’s 
    video card must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that’s 
    compatible with the projector; see the following table for 
    compatible formats. If necessary, images are automatically 
    resized to display in the projector’s “native” format (such as 
    XGA for the 74c or SVGA for the 54c). In addition, the 
    frequencies of some computers may not allow images to display 
    correctly; see your computer’s documentation for details.

    Computer/Component Video Port 
    Pin Assignments
    The Computer 1/Component Video 1 and Computer 2/
    Component Video 2 ports are female video RGB, 15-pin, 
    mini-D-style connectors.  
    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. 
    To calculate exact measurements, use the following formulas:
    ❏To find the projection distance when you know the screen’s 
    diagonal dimension:
    Wide (inches) = ((3.0625 
    × diagonal screen size [inches]) –
    2.4655) / 2.54
    Tele (inches) = ((3.5063 
    × diagonal screen size [inches]) – 
    2.0063) / 2.54
    ❏To find how large a screen’s diagonal dimension will be 
    when you know the projection distance:
    Wide (inches) = (Projection distance [inches] 
    × 0.82937) + 
    0.80505
    Tele (inches) = (Projection distance [inches] 
    × 0.7244) + 
    0.57219
    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 6.

    							EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector
    4 - EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector 10/03 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 your projector, as described 
    below. 
    If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment 
    before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects 
    and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first, 
    or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have 
    to select the image source manually (as described on page 5).
    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.
    2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power 
    inlet. Then 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.3. 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 30 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.
    ❏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 source, turn it on (if it is not 
    already on). If you don’t see the image, 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. (If a component video source is connected to one 
    of the projector’s 
    Computer/Component Video ports, 
    press the 
    Computer button to select the source.) Then 
    press the 
    Play button on your DVD player or other 
    device.
    ❏If you are prompted to enter a password, see “Starting the 
    Projector with a Password” on page 10.
    If a projected image fails to appear, see “What To Do If You See 
    a Blank Screen” in the next column. 
    When you’re done with your presentation, shut down the 
    projector as described on page 7. 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 the No Signal message 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. 
    ❏Press the 
    Source button on top of the projector to select the 
    correct source. See page 5 for more information about 
    selecting the image source.
    ❏If you have connected a device to one of the projector’s 
    Computer/Component Video ports, check the 
    Input Signal setting in the Image menu to make sure it is 
    correct for the device. 
    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 X:
    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 
    System Preferences, then 
    click 
    Displays.
    2. Select 
    VGA Display or Color LCD, click Arrange or 
    Arrangement, and make sure Mirror Displays is checked.
    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, try selecting one of the 
    Simulscan resolution settings. Click the 
    Monitor icon, if 
    necessary, and then select a 
    Simulscan resolution. (Allow a few 
    seconds for the projector to sync up after making the selection.)
    Selecting the Image Source
    If multiple devices are connected to the projector, you can 
    switch between them as follows:
    ❏On the projector, press the 
    Source button until the correct 
    device image is projected. 
    ❏On the remote control, press the 
    Computer1/2 button to 
    select the device connected to the Computer1/Component 
    Video1 or Computer2/Component Video2 port. For the 
    S-Video or Video port device, press the 
    S-Video/Video 
    button.
    After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment 
    before the image appears. The name of the selected source (such 
    as 
    Computer1 or S-Video) appears briefly on the screen.
    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

    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
    The projector automatically corrects images that are distorted 
    when the projector is tilted up or down (up to a 15° tilt). The 
    Keystone window appears on the screen while the projector 
    makes the correction. If the projected image still 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 may have been disabled or you may need to manually 
    adjust the keystone correction value. (Auto Keystone is not 
    available when you’re using ceiling or rear projection.) 
    Follow the directions below:
    ❏To turn on Auto Keystone, press the 
    Menu button on 
    the remote control. Select the Setting menu, then press 
    Enter. If Auto Keystone is OFF, press to highlight 
    this option and press 
    Enter. Select ON in the Auto 
    Keystone window that appears and press 
    Enter to save 
    your changes. Exit the menu by pressing the 
    Menu 
    button. ❏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 make keystone adjustments using the projector’s 
    Setting menu. 
    Adjusting the Brightness
    The brightness of an image depends on the source you are 
    projecting and the amount of light in the room. If the image is 
    too bright or not bright enough, do one of the following:
    ❏Change the 
    Brightness setting in the Image menu. 
    ❏Select 
    Low or High for the Brightness Control option in 
    the Advanced menu. Low brightness mode extends the life of 
    the lamp and decreases the fan noise.
    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 environment in which you’re projecting it.
    If you’re projecting computer or RGB video images, the default 
    color mode is 
    Presentation, which is appropriate for 
    presentations in bright rooms. For other images, the default 
    color mode is 
    Dynamic, which optimizes video images using 
    natural colors.
    The following table lists the 6 color modes available.

    							EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector
    10/03 EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector - 7 To change the color mode, press the 
    Color Mode button on 
    the remote control until you see the mode you want. 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 Image menu.
    Correcting Computer Images
    If you’ve connected a computer and the image doesn’t look 
    right, or it doesn’t fit properly on the screen, press the 
    Auto 
    button on the remote control. This automatically resets the 
    projector’s tracking, sync, resolution, and position settings. You 
    must be projecting an image for this button to have any effect. 
    Additionally, if the 
    Auto Setup option in the Image menu is set 
    to 
    OFF, the Auto function will not work.
    Sleep/Standby Mode
    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

    Replacing the Battery
    Caution
    When replacing batteries, take the following precautions:
    ❏Replace the battery as soon as it runs out. If the battery leaks, 
    wipe away battery fluid with a soft cloth. If fluid gets on your 
    hands, wash them immediately.
    ❏Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
    ❏Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

    Using Password Protection
    If you assign a password for the projector, a screen appears 
    requesting the password whenever the projector is turned on. 
    If the password is entered incorrectly three times in succession, 
    the projector’s operation is locked. To try again, the user needs 
    to disconnect the projector and reconnect it. If an incorrect 
    password is entered nine times in a row, the projector is locked 
    and remains locked until an authorized person at EPSON can 
    unlock it.
    You can also create a user’s logo for the projector, to be 
    displayed as the startup screen and/or AV/Mute screen. 
    Unauthorized users cannot turn it off or change it. This feature 
    discourages theft and provides a way to identify the projector 
    should it be stolen. 
    Additionally, to make sure a borrowed projector is returned, 
    you can temporarily disable the password for a set period of 
    time. When that time has elapsed, the password function is 
    reactivated and the password must be entered before the 
    projector can be used.
    Follow the instructions below to first set the password, and then 
    turn on the password and/or user logo protection. Be sure to set 
    the password before you enable the feature; otherwise, you may 
    lock yourself out of the projector. 
    Note
    If you should happen to enable the password before you set one, and 
    you see the prompt to enter the password, enter the default password 
    0000 to proceed.
    Setting a Password 
    1. Press the Freeze button on the remote control for about 
    7 seconds, until you see the Password Protect menu:
    If a password has already been set, you see the Password 
    Protect Release screen. See “Starting the Projector with a 
    Password” in the next column.
    2. Select 
    Password and press Enter. You see the message 
    Change the password?
    3. Select Yes and press Enter.

    the numeric keypad on the 
    remote control. 
    The password will be displayed 
    as 
    ****. After you enter the last 
    digit, a confirmation screen 
    appears. Enter the password 
    again.
    5. After you finish setting the 
    password, press the 
    Esc button 
    to return to the Password Protect 
    menu.
    Make a note of the password and keep it in a safe place in case 
    you forget it. 
    Turning On the Password and User’s Logo
    To enable the password and User’s Logo, follow these steps:
    1. Press the 
    Freeze button on the remote control until you see 
    the Password Protect menu.
    2. Select 
    Power ON Protect and press Enter. 
    3. Select 
    ON, then press Esc. 
    4. If you want to disable the password temporarily so someone 
    can use the projector without entering the password, select 
    Timer and press Enter. Use the numeric keypad to enter the 
    number of hours (from 0 to 999) you want the password 
    feature disabled. If you want the projector to request the 
    password every time it is turned on, set the timer to 
    0H. 
    The timer starts counting as soon as you close the Password 
    Protect menu. (You can check the elapsed time in this menu 
    next to 
    Time elapsed.)
    When the period defined in the Time-elapsed setting has 
    passed, and the password is entered correctly, the elapsed 
    time will be reset to 
    0 and the timer will start again. So 
    remember to disable or change this setting when you need 
    to.
    5. To enable your screen logo, select 
    User’s Logo Protect and 
    press 
    Enter. Select ON and press Enter. 
    When this feature is on, the logo appears whenever the 
    projector is turned on (if the Startup Screen is enabled) and 
    as the A/V Mute screen (if you enabled the logo for the 
    Background Color setting). None of the User’s Logo 
    features can be changed when the User’s Logo Protect 
    function is enabled.
    6. Press 
    Menu to close the Password Protect menu.
    If you lose the remote control, you will not be able to enter the 
    password; so keep the remote control in a safe place at all times. 
    You can store it in the compartment under the projector. See 
    “Storing the Remote Control” on page 8.
    Starting the Projector with a Password
    When the password function is enabled, you see this screen 
    when you turn on the projector: 
    Use the numeric keypad buttons to enter the password. Once 
    you have entered the password correctly, the password screen 
    closes, and projection begins.
    If the password is not correct, you see the message “Wrong 
    password. Please try again.” If you enter an incorrect password 
    three times in succession, you see the message “The projector’s 
    operation will be locked. Request code xxxxx” and the projector 
    switches to standby mode for approximately 5 minutes. Write 
    down the request code. Then disconnect the projector’s power 
    cord from the electrical outlet, reconnect it, and turn the 
    projector back on. 
    When you see the Password Protect Release screen again, you 
    can try to enter the correct password.
    If you have forgotten the password, contact EPSON with the 
    request code number that appears in the Password Protect 
    Release screen for assistance. 
    If you enter an incorrect password nine times in a row, the 
    projector remains locked and you must contact EPSON to 
    unlock it. 
    Use these buttons like a 
    numeric keypad to enter 
    the password
