Compatible Video Formats
The projector supports the following international video 
standards: NTSC, HDTV, PAL, and SECAM, as well as the 
monitor 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. As noted below, some images are 
automatically resized to display in one of the projector’s 
“native” formats (such as XGA). In addition, the frequencies 
of some computers may not allow images to display correctly; 
see your computer’s documentation for details.

native formats. 
Computer Video Port Pin Assignments
The Computer 1 analog port and the Monitor Out port are 
female video RGB, 15-pin micro-D-style connectors. Here are 
their pin assignments:
Positioning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
oPlace the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between 
3.6 and 48 feet from the screen.
oMake sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and 
under the projector.
oMake sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded 
electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of the 
image source.
oFace the projector squarely toward the screen. Otherwise, 
your image won’t be square.
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 squarely at 
the screen and get a non-distorted image. 
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 square shape, but 
you can correct the distortion by pressing the 
Keystone 
button as described on page 6.

							EPSON PowerLite 7700p Projector
4 - EPSON PowerLite 7700p Projector 11/00 If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen, 
the image will be square 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 square, but you won’t be able to fill the 
whole screen with the image.
The projector can be installed for three different viewing 
setups: front projection, ceiling mounting, or rear projection 
onto a semi-transparent screen, as shown: 
To project from overhead, you’ll need to select 
Ceiling in the 
projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select 
Rear Proj. 
If you’re ceiling-mounting the projector and you place it 
above screen level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the 
image on-screen. This causes the image to lose its square 
shape. You can then correct the distortion by using the 
Keystone function in the projector’s menu system or by using 
the 
Keystone button on the projector’s control panel.
If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the 
screen, the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust 
it. If you place the lens lower than the top of the screen, you’ll 
have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole 
screen with the image. Image Size and Projection Distance
Use the tables below to estimate how far to place the projector 
from the screen. Since the size of the image can be changed by 
rotating the zoom ring, a range of distance is given for each 
screen size. 
Note that if you tilt the projector upward by extending the 
feet or use electronic keystone correction, your image size may 
vary.

water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case. 
oDo not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical 
detergents. These can damage the case.
Cleaning or Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter at 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.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the 
power cord.
2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top 
and you can access the filter easily.
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. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in 
the United States and Canada to obtain a new one.
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.
