    Compatible Video Formats
    You can use any of the following video sources: VCR, DVD 
    player, camcorder, digital camera, gaming console, or laser 
    disc player. The projector supports composite video, S-Video, 
    component video, and RGB video, and it automatically senses 
    the video format (HDTV, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM). 
    The projector supports these international video standards: 
    Compatible Computer Display Formats
    You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, 
    including 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.™ 
    Although images are displayed at the projector’s native 
    resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels, EPSON’s patented 
    SizeWise
    ™ chip supports computer display formats ranging 
    from VGA through UXGA.
    To project images output from a computer, the computer’s 
    external monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical 
    frequency) that’s compatible with the projector; see the 
    following table for compatible formats. For best results, the 
    computer’s resolution should be set to match the projector’s 
    native resolution (1024 
    × 768). 
    * The image is resized using EPSON’s SizeWise Technology.

    Positioning the Projector
    Follow these guideline when deciding where to place the 
    projector:
    ❏Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
    ❏Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around 
    and under the projector. Do not set it on top of anything 
    that could block the vents under the projector. 
    ❏Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded 
    electrical outlet or extension cord. 
    Image size increases with distance, but varies depending on 
    how you’ve adjusted the optical zoom and other settings. 
    It’s best to place the projector directly in front of the center of 
    the screen, facing the screen squarely. If it isn’t placed this 
    way, the image will be “keystone” shaped, instead of 
    rectangular. 
    If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt 
    it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This also causes 
    the image to lose its rectangular shape. To correct distortion, 
    see “Adjusting the Image Shape” on page 8.
    Calculating Image Size and Projection 
    Distance
    Use the formulas below either to find out how large your 
    image will be when you know the distance from the projector 
    to the screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place 
    the projector if you want an image of a certain size. Since the 
    size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring, 
    formulas are given for calculating both the minimum and 
    maximum sizes. Note: The formulas given here are for when the projector is placed 
    flat, without tilting it up at the screen. If you tilt it up by 
    extending the feet or use electronic keystone correction, your image 
    size may vary.
    Standard Lens 
    To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when 
    you know the projection distance:
    ❏Maximum diagonal size =
    (((2.54
     × projection distance) / 100) × 36) + 2.13
    ❏Minimum diagonal size = 
    (((2.54
     × projection distance) / 100) × 26.84) + 1.29
    To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you 
    know the diagonal size of the screen image:
    ❏Maximum projection distance = 
    (((diagonal size – 1.29) / 26.84) 
    × 100 / 2.54
    ❏Minimum projection distance = 
    (((diagonal size – 2.13) / 36) 
    × 100 / 2.54
    Middle Throw Lens (V12H004M03)
    To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when 
    you know the projection distance:
    ❏Maximum diagonal size = 
    (((2.54
     × projection distance ) / 100) × 27.42) + 1.49
    Minimum diagonal size = 
    (((2.54
     × projection distance) / 100) × 20.48) + 1.1
    To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you 
    know the diagonal size of the screen image:
    ❏Maximum projection distance = 
    (((diagonal size – 1.1) / 20.48) 
    × 100 / 2.54
    ❏Minimum projection distance = 
    (((diagonal size – 1.49) / 27.42) 
    × 100 / 2.54
    Long Throw Zoom Lens (V12H004L05)
    To determine the diagonal size of an image (in inches) when 
    you know the projection distance:
    ❏Maximum diagonal size = 
    (((2.54
     × projection distance) / 100) × 20.4) + 1.93
    ❏Minimum diagonal size = 
    (((2.54
     × projection distance) / 100) × 15.23) + 1.45
    To determine the projection distance (in inches) when you 
    know the diagonal size of the screen image:
    ❏Maximum projection distance = 
    (((diagonal size – 1.45) / 15.23) 
    × 100 / 2.54
    ❏Minimum projection distance =

    Connecting the Projector
    You can connect the projector to three computer sources or 
    four video sources—up to a total of four sources altogether. 
    You can include an independent sound channel for each 
    source. (See the Quick Setup poster or the User’s Guide for 
    complete setup instructions.)
    Note: The preview feature lets you see all the sources at a glance, 
    so you can easily switch among them. See page 5.
    Types of Connections
    The following types of connections are possible, depending on 
    the kinds of signals your equipment generates and its available 
    output ports.
    Note that the projector’s Computer and BNC ports accept a 
    variety of input signals. If you’re connecting to one of these 
    ports, you’ll need to make sure that the correct input signal 
    setting is selected, or your image won’t display properly. 
    To change the input signal setting, do the following:
    1. After turning on the projector, press the 
    Menu button. The 
    menu screen appears.
    2. Select the 
    Setting menu.
    3. Change the 
    Computer Input or BNC Input setting as 
    needed to match the signal generated by your computer or 
    video equipment. (See the User’s Guide for more 
    information.)
    You can also cycle through the settings by repeatedly pressing 
    the source button for your device on the remote control.
    Playing Sound Through the Projector
    You can play sound through the projector’s speaker system or 
    you can attach an external speaker system.
    Two types of audio cables are included with the projector: 
    ❏If your computer or video equipment is connected to the 
    Computer or DVI port, use the stereo mini-jack cable.
    ❏If your equipment is connected to the 
    Video or S-Video 
    port, or to the 
    BNC ports, use the RCA-style audio cable.
    Using the Remote Control as a Wireless 
    Mouse
    If you’ve connected a computer to the projector, you can use 
    the projector’s remote control as a wireless mouse by 
    connecting the USB cable that came with the projector. The 
    wireless mouse function is supported on systems with a USB 
    port running Windows XP, 98, 2000, or Me; or Macintosh 
    OS 8.6 to OS X 10.2. See the User’s Guide for more 
    information.
    Viewing Images on an External 
    Monitor
    You can use an external monitor to display images from any 
    connected computer source. This lets you view your 
    presentation close-up, as well as on the projection screen. 
    Note: Some LCD monitors may not be able to display the image 
    correctly. If you have trouble displaying the image, connect a 
    multiscan monitor. If you’re projecting computer images, make 
    sure the computer’s refresh rate is set to 65 Hz or greater. 
    To use an external monitor, connect it to the projector’s 
    Monitor Out port, as shown: Computer equipment

    							EPSON PowerLite 7800p Projector
    5/03 EPSON PowerLite 7800p Projector - 5 Follow these guidelines when using an external monitor:
    ❏The monitor displays the currently selected computer 
    source. Press the 
    Preview button on the remote control if 
    you want to display all the active sources at once (see 
    “Previewing Image Sources” on this page).
    ❏If you want, you can view (or preview) images on the 
    monitor while the projection screen is darkened by pressing 
    the 
    A/V Mute button. 
    ❏You can also view images on the monitor while the 
    projector is in standby mode (plugged in but not turned 
    on). Set the 
    Standby Mode setting to Network ON in the 
    Advanced1 menu. 
    Displaying an Image
    If you turn on your computer or video equipment before 
    turning on the projector, the projector automatically selects 
    the connected source. If you turn on the projector first or you 
    have multiple sources connected, you may have to switch to 
    the desired source manually (see “Selecting the Image Source”  
    on this page). 
    Turning On the Projector
    1. Remove the lens cap.
    2. Plug in the projector. 
    3. Wait a few seconds until the P
     power light stops flashing 
    and turns orange. 
    4. Press the red P
     Power button on top of the projector or on 
    the remote control.
    Note: If you’re using the remote control, 
    make sure batteries are installed and the 
    power switch on the side of the remote 
    control is turned on. 
    The P
     power light flashes green as the projector warms up, 
    and an image begins to appear after about 30 seconds. 
    When the P
     power light stops flashing and remains green, 
    the projector is ready for use. 
    Wa r n i n g :  Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This 
    can damage your eyes.5. If you’ve connected a Windows-based computer to the 
    projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard saying 
    your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, 
    click 
    Cancel.
    Selecting the Image Source
    If multiple devices are connected to the projector, you can use 
    the 
    Source buttons on the projector or the remote control to 
    switch from one source to another:
    ❏The projector has two 
    Source buttons. 
    Use the 
    Computer/DVI button to 
    switch between equipment 
    connected to the 
    Computer and 
    DVIports.
    Use the 
    Video/BNC button to switch 
    between equipment connected to the 
    Video, S-Video, and BNC ports. 
    ❏The remote control has five 
    Source buttons you can use to 
    switch between equipment 
    connected to the port identified 
    on each button. (The PowerLite 
    7800p does not support 
    EasyMP.
    ™ )
    You can preview all sources to help you select the desired 
    source, as described below.
    Note that the 
    Computer and BNC ports can be set up to use 
    different input signals (for example, Analog RGB or RGB 
    Video)—so if you have equipment connected to one of these 
    ports, it’s important to select the correct signal to match the 
    equipment you’re using. You can change the input signal 
    settings using the projector’s menu system as described in 
    “Types of Connections” on page 4.
    Previewing Image Sources
    You can use the Preview function to help you select the image 
    source when you have connected multiple sources to the 
    projector. 
    1. Press the 
    Preview button on the 
    remote control.

    Troubleshooting Display Problems
    You Can’t Project an Image
    If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the No Signal 
    message, try the following:
    ❏Make sure the cables are connected correctly.
    ❏Make sure the P
     power light is green and not flashing and 
    the lens cover is off. 
    ❏If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video 
    source, you may need to press one of the 
    Source buttons 
    on the projector’s control panel or the remote control 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, press the function key on your 
    keyboard that lets you display on an external monitor. It 
    may be labeled 
    CRT/LCD or have an icon such as  . 
    You may have to hold down the 
    Fn key while pressing it. 
    Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after 
    changing the setting.
    The Projector and Laptop Don’t Display 
    the Same Image
    If you’re projecting from a laptop, and you don’t see the same 
    image on the projection screen and on your computer screen, 
    follow these guidelines.
    If you’re using a PC laptop:
    ❏On most systems, there’s a function key that lets you toggle 
    between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on 
    both at the same time. It may be labeled 
    CRT/LCD or with 
    an icon such as  . You may have to hold down the 
    Fn 
    key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector 
    to sync up after changing the setting. 
    ❏If the function key doesn’t permit you to display 
    simultaneously on both screens, you should check your 
    monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the 
    external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, 
    open the 
    Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog 
    box, click the 
    Settings tab, then click Advanced. The 
    method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may 
    need to click a 
    Monitor tab, then make sure the external 
    Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. 
    See your computer’s documentation or online help for 
    details.

    If you’re using OS 8.6 to 9.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 
    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. 
    2. Select a 
    Simulscan resolution as shown. (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. 
    Focusing and Zooming Your Image
    Use the Focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.
    Use the Zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the 
    projected image. Move the tab toward the 
    W to make it 
    bigger, or toward the 
    T to make it smaller.
    If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the 
    projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the 
    E-Zoom buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a 
    portion of the image.
    Adjusting the Height of Your Image
    If the image is too low on the screen, you can raise it by 
    adjusting the front foot:
    1. Stand behind the projector. Press the blue foot release lever 
    up and lift the front of the projector. 
    2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the 
    lever to lock the foot in position.
    3. If necessary, you can fine-
    tune the height by turning 
    the projector’s rear feet. 
    Raising the projector may cause the image to distort or 
    “keystone.” See the next section to correct this.

    Adjusting the Image Shape
    In most cases, you can maintain a rectangular image by 
    placing the projector directly in front of the center of the 
    screen with the base of the lens level with the bottom of the 
    screen. 
    Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 40° up 
    or down), the projector’s automatic keystone correction 
    function detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.
    It takes about one second after projection starts for the image 
    to be corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone 
    correction gauge appears on the screen. 
    If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using either 
    of these methods: 
    ❏If the image has two parallel 
    sides but is wider on the top, 
    bottom, left, or right, you 
    can correct it using the 
    Keystone keys on the 
    projector’s control panel or 
    the Keystone menu (see 
    “Using Keystone 
    Correction”  below).
    ❏If the image is trapezoid-
    shaped (no two sides are 
    parallel), you can adjust its 
    shape using Quick Corner
    ™ 
    as described below. 
    You cannot use both keystone correction and Quick Corner at 
    the same time. 
    Using Keystone Correction
    To adjust your image when it is wider on one side, do one of 
    the following:
    ❏Look at the shapes of the icons on the 
    projector’s four 
    Keystone buttons. 
    Press the button whose icon is the 
    opposite shape of your screen image. 
    Continue pressing the button until 
    you are satisfied with the shape of the 
    image.
    Note: The image will be slightly shorter after adjusting. If it’s 
    important to maintain the correct aspect ratio, use the menu 
    system to perform keystone correction, as described below, 
    then adjust the Height setting as needed. 
    ❏Press the 
    Menu button on the remote control, select the 
    Setting menu, and press 
    Enter. From the Setting menu, 
    select 
    H/V-Keystone in the Keystone menu and press 
    Enter. Select V-Keystone (for vertical keystone distortion) 
    or 
    H-Keystone (for horizontal keystone distortion) and 
    press 
    Enter. Use the  pointer button on the remote 
    control to adjust the keystone setting as needed.
    Using Quick Corner
    Use Quick Corner to correct the image shape when it’s 
    uneven on the top and bottom, or on all sides. 
    1. Press the 
    Menu button on the remote control (or on the 
    projector’s control panel).
    2. Select the 
    Setting menu and press Enter. 
    3. From the Setting menu, select 
    Keystone and press Enter. 
    4. Select 
    Quick Corner and press Enter.
    You see this screen:
    5. Press the 
    Enter button to 
    select the corner you want to 
    adjust.
    6. Use the  pointer button on 
    the remote control (or the 
    arrow buttons on the 
    projector) to adjust the shape. 
    7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as needed 
    to adjust any remaining corners. 
    8. When done, press the 
    ESC button on the remote control to 
    exit the menu system.
    If 
    Quick Corner remains selected in the Keystone menu, the 
    Quick Corner screen appears whenever you press the 
    projector’s 
    Keystone buttons. You can then follow steps 5 
    through 8 above to correct the shape of your image, or press 
    ESC to exit Quick Corner.

    Correcting Computer Images
    If you’ve connected a 
    computer and the image 
    doesn’t look right or fit 
    properly on the screen, press 
    the 
    Auto button on the 
    remote control (or the 
    Auto/Enter button on the 
    projector’s control panel). 
    This automatically resets the projector’s tracking, sync, 
    resolution, and position settings. 
    Note: You must be projecting an image for this button to have 
    any effect. The 
    Auto button works only with computer images. 
    Also, make sure the correct 
    Computer or BNC Input option—
    such as 
    Analog RGB—has been selected in the Setting menu. 
    Alternatively, you can cycle through the input settings using 
    the corresponding source button (
    Comp, BNC) on the remote 
    control until you see your device.
    If vertical stripes appear in the projected image and the 
    Auto 
    button doesn’t correct the problem, hold down the 
    Shift 
    button on the projector’s control panel while pressing either 
    the 
    Tracking + or the Tracking – button.
    If the image appears fuzzy or flickers and the 
    Auto button 
    doesn’t correct the problem, hold down the 
    Shift button while 
    pressing either the 
    Sync + or Sync – button.
    Note: Also make sure you have selected the correct Computer or 
    BNC Input option in the Setting menu for your computer. See the 
    User’s Guide for more information.
    Projecting Images Without a Screen
    Even if you don’t have a screen, you can project images onto 
    surfaces like blackboards and colored walls without loss of 
    image color. Your projector has a sensor that measures the 
    conditions of the projection surface and automatically adjusts 
    the colors and shading of your image. For example, if you’re 
    projecting onto a surface near a window, your image appears 
    clear and well-defined rather than faint.
    Making Initial Color Corrections
    Press the Wall Shot button on 
    either the remote control or the 
    projector’s control panel while 
    projecting an image.
    Wall Shot’s status appears in 
    the upper right corner of your 
    screen. Then you see a sequence 
    of colors flash for approximately 
    five seconds while the sensor 
    measures the conditions of the 
    projection surface and adjusts 
    the image. 
    Note: If the status message indicates that Wall Shot is off, press the 
    Wall Shot button again to turn it on.
    When you turn off the projector, it stores the correction values 
    obtained by the last Wall Shot measurements. This is useful if 
    you’re projecting against the same surface and under the same 
    conditions. To retrieve these corrections, just press the 
    Wall 
    Shot
     button again while projecting an image.
    Adjusting Color Corrections for a New 
    Surface
    Follow these steps to adjust the correction values if you’re 
    projecting on a new surface or in a new location:
    1. Press the 
    Wall Shot button on the remote control or 
    projector while you’re projecting an image. Wait for the 
    Wall Shot status screen.
    2. Press the 
    Wall Shot button until you see Wall Shot 
    Readjustment 
    on the status screen. 
    You see a sequence of colors flash for about five seconds as 
    the projector adjusts the color correction values for the new 
    projection surface.
