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.

Welcome1 - Welcome The EPSON® PowerLite® 7800p is a versatile, lightweight projector designed to ensure that your presentations are easy and trouble-free, whether you use it in the classroom or conference room. When space is limited, you can project against a surface less than five and one-half feet away. The projector’s keystone correction function automatically corrects image distortion, and EPSON’s unique Wall Shot ™ function lets you project against blackboards and colored walls without loss of image color, regardless of ambient lighting. In addition, the PowerLite 7800p offers outstanding image quality, with up to 3500 lumens of brightness, a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels, and a 700:1 contrast ratio. Connectivity Your EPSON PowerLite projector can be connected to three computers at the same time, or four video sources (up to a total of five sources at the same time). You can include an independent sound channel for each source. A preview feature lets you see all the sources at a glance, so you can easily switch between them. Complete control Use the remote control to take charge of your presentation. Freeze the action, zoom in on part of the picture, or display a picture-in-picture video. Use the remote as a pointer, or to draw on the screen. You can even use it in place of your computer’s mouse to control your computer and change slides in PowerPoint. ® Easy Management With the projector’s Easy Management ™ system, you can use a Windows ® PC to remotely monitor and control the projector. Security To discourage theft, you can assign the projector a password, thus preventing unauthorized persons from using it.
