ii Important Safety Information WARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. 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. Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp. Copyright Notice All rights reserved.

W Welcome1 - Welcome The EPSON® PowerLite® 5600p and PowerLite 7600p are portable projectors offering 2200 ANSI lumens of brightness. From boardrooms to auditoriums, your full-color presentations and videos will be bright and visible even in ordinary room lighting. Images are displayed at a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels (PowerLite 7600p) or 800 × 600 pixels (PowerLite 5600p). The 1.3-inch LCD provides a high contrast ratio for incredibly vivid images and clear text. Improved video processing reduces “color noise” for rich, saturated images, while reduced light leakage and whisper-quiet operation contribute to theater-quality video. With EPSON’s patented SizeWise ™ chip, the projector supports computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA (or SXGA on the PowerLite 5600p). The projector also supports the new Digital Visual Interface (DVI) format. 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. The projector supports composite video, S-Video, and component video, and it automatically senses the video format (HDTV, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM). 5600 and 7600.book Page 1 Thursday, December 14, 2000 2:46 PM
2Welcome Getting the Most from Your Projector Your EPSON PowerLite projector is a highly versatile presentation tool. You can connect it to one or two computer sources and up to three video sources and easily switch between them. You can also include sound for up to two of the sources. Depending on your presentation, you can take advantage of any or all of these options: Connecting to a laptop or other computer If you want to connect to a PC laptop or Macintosh PowerBook, see page 12. To connect to a desktop computer, a workstation, a computer that outputs video in Digital Visual Interface (DVI) format, or more than one computer, see Appendix A. Connecting to video sources You can connect a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, digital camera, or any other video source to your projector. You can connect up to three video sources at the same time (with or without a computer) and easily switch between them. See page 15 for instructions. Using the remote control The remote control lets you switch from one computer or video source to another, with access to picture-in-picture, pointer, zoom, and many other projector features. For details, see “Using the Remote Control” on page 31. By connecting an additional cable, you can also use the remote control as a wireless mouse. This lets you click through slideshow-style presentations (such as PowerPoint ®) from up to 30 feet away. For more information, see page 40. Including sound in your presentation If your presentation includes sound, you can connect an audio cable to use the projector’s built-in stereo speakers. For details, see page 14 (for laptops) or Appendix A (for other systems). If you’re permanently installing the projector, you may wish to connect external speakers or a public address system to the projector’s Audio Out port; see page 79. note You can connect a maximum of four sources at the same time. 5600 and 7600.book Page 2 Thursday, December 14, 2000 2:46 PM
