							Using WirelessHD53
Using WirelessHD
You can use the included WirelessHD Transmitter (PowerLite Home Cinema 5010e only) to 
wirelessly stream HD content from a video device to the projector. 
Placing the WirelessHD Transmitter
Place the WirelessHD Transmitter so that the unit’s lights face the front of the projector. 
Make sure the transmitter is within 32 feet (10 meters) of the projector and is located in the 
same room. 
Note: The wireless transmission range may vary depending on the placement and size of 
surrounding objects. Avoid placing the transmitter in an area with many large or metal objects and 
do not place the transmitter on a metal surface, as this may interfere with the signal. 
Use the images below to determine the best placement for the WirelessHD Transmitter (the 
shaded areas represent the WirelessHD transmission area).

							Using HDMI Link55
Using HDMI Link
When you connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to the projector with HDMI cables, you 
can control them using the HDMI Link control buttons on the projector’s remote control. 
This lets you use just one remote control to operate many commonly used features on all your 
devices.
In a typical configuration, your DVD player may be connected to the projector through an 
amplifier or home theater system. Even if the amplifier does not conform to the HDMI CEC 
standard, you can still use the projector’s HDMI Link control buttons to operate the DVD 
player as long as the DVD player conforms to the HDMI CEC standard.
Note: Some HDMI CEC functions may not operate, depending on the connected product’s design 
and compliance with the HDMI CEC standard.
Setting Up HDMI Link
To prepare your devices to work with the HDMI Link control buttons, follow these steps:
1. Press the 
HDMI Link button on the projector’s remote control.
2. Select 
HDMI Link and set it to On.
3. Press the 
HDMI Link button to exit the menu system.

4. Set up your connected devices so their HDMI CEC-compatible functions are enabled. 
For details, refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation.
Changing HDMI Link Settings
1. Press the HDMI Link button on the projector’s remote control.
2. Select 
Device Connections. You see this screen:
3. Use the u and d arrow buttons to select the device you want to operate, then press 
Enter. Devices are listed by type (Player, Recorder, AV System, or Tuner) and by name, 
if the model number is available.
4. Once the device is selected, use the HDMI Link control buttons on the remote control to 
operate it. You can also use the 
On, Standby, Enter, Esc, and arrow buttons. 
Commonly available functions include turning on the device when it’s in standby mode, 
starting playback, adjusting the volume, and operating the device’s link menu.
In addition, HDMI Link allows your projector and other devices to be turned on and off 
together:
■If you turn on a connected device, the projector automatically turns on and switches 
to the correct input source.
Note: The power switch on the back of the projector must be turned on for this to work.
■If you turn on the projector, connected devices such as an amplifier and DVD player 
are turned on. If multiple video devices are connected, the one last used is turned on. 
When you turn off the projector, the connected devices are turned off.
Note: The CEC power link function of the connected devices must be enabled for this to work. 
						

							Maintenance57
Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a regular basis is keep the lens 
clean. You also may need to clean the air filter to prevent overheating.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never 
open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous 
electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
The only parts you should replace are the air filter and the lamp. If another part needs 
replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
Note: Carefully open the lens shutter to clean the lens. Do not clean the lens while the projector 
is turned on.
■Use a blower brush that is designed for camera equipment to remove dust from the lens.
■To remove dirt or smears, use a lens cloth or tissue. If necessary, moisten the cloth with 
lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the 
projector lamp may cause a fire. 
						

							58MaintenanceCaution: Never rub the lens with abrasive materials. Use only lens cleaning fluids that are designed 
for cleaning optics. Avoid touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or 
damage to the lens surface.
Cleaning the 3D Glasses
Use the included lint-free cloth (do not use paper towels) to gently wipe the 3D glasses 
whenever you notice dust or dirt on the surface.
Caution: Never rub the 3D glasses with abrasive materials. 
						

							Maintenance59
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral 
detergent. Then wipe the case and dry it with a dry cloth.
Caution: Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These 
can damage the case. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance. If dust collects on the air 
filter, clean it as described below. Dust clogs prevent proper ventilation and cause overheating 
and damage to the projector.
You can replace the air filter while the projector is mounted to the ceiling, if necessary. The 
illustrations here show the projector placed on a table. 
1. Press the Ppower button on the projector twice or the 
Standby button on the remote 
control, wait for the power light to stop flashing, and turn off the power switch on the 
back of the projector. The projector cools down.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Press in on the inner edge of the air filter cover to release the latch, then pull to remove 
the cover. 
						

							60Maintenance
4. Remove the air filter as shown.
5. Gently tap both sides of the air filter against a hard surface four 
or five times to remove loose dust from the air filter.
Note: Do not use excessive force when tapping the air filter, or it 
may crack and become unusable. Do not rinse the air filter in water, 
or use any detergent or solvent to clean it. Do not used canned air, 
or the gases may leave a residue. 
6. Use a small vacuum cleaner that is designed for computers and 
other office equipment to remove any remaining dust from the 
surface of the filter. If you don’t have one, gently clean the 
filter using a very soft brush (such as a clean artist’s 
paintbrush).
If the dirt is difficult to remove or the filter is broken, replace 
it. You can purchase air filter part number V13H134A39 from 
an authorized Epson reseller. To find the nearest reseller, please 
call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). To purchase online, visit www.epsonstore.com 
(U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).
7. Insert the air filter as shown.
