adjustments. In addition to changing the position of the projected 
image, you can correct tracking and sync for computer images, or 
change the aspect ratio to widescreen format for video images.

Setting menu, then choose 
High or Low (the default 
setting is High).
note
You can also use the remote 
control’s 
Auto button to 
automatically reset the 
projector’s tracking, sync,

If the image is slightly cut off on one or more sides, it may not 
be centered exactly. Select this setting and use the  pointer 
button to center it.

tip
Before adjusting tracking or 
sync, fill the screen with an 
image containing fine 
detail. For example, in 
Windows you can select a 
pattern to appear as your 
desktop background. If this 
option isn’t available, try 
projecting black text on a 
white background. 
						

							Fine-Tuning the Projector115
■Video Signal 
Leave this setting at 
Auto unless you are using a 60-Hz PAL 
system (then select 
PAL60).
■Resize
Choose an aspect ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9. Normal is the 
default setting for a computer connection. 
Customizing Projector Features
You can use the Settings menu to lock the buttons on the projector, 
adjust audio volume, and customize several other features.
■Keystone 
Squares up the shape of the image after the projector has been 
tilted upward. If you notice lines or edges looking jagged after 
adjusting the shape, decrease the Sharpness setting (see page 112). 
■Auto Keystone
Automatically compensates for keystone distortion when the 
projector is tilted upward. This feature is available only when the 
projector is set for front projection (it is enabled by default).
■Operation Lock
Lets you disable all of the buttons on the projector except the 
P
Power button. See page 121 for more information. 
						

							116Fine-Tuning the Projector
■Pointer Shape
Lets you choose from three alternative pointer shapes. See page 34 
for more information.
■Brightness Control
Lets you select from two levels of brightness. The Low setting 
reduces power consumption and noise, and extends the lamp’s 
operating life.
■Volume
Raises or lowers the volume of the projector’s speaker.
■EasyMP Audio Out
Lets you output sound from EasyMP scenarios (.wav files) or 
MPEG files to external speakers with built-in amplifiers. Connect 
the speakers as shown on page 45.
Using the Projector Security Features
To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can do the 
following:
■Assign a password; this can be disabled for a set period if you want 
to loan the projector to someone. 
■Create an identifying user logo that is displayed at startup and/or 
when the 
A/V Mute button is pressed. See page 119.
■Disable the projector’s buttons; this is useful, for example, if 
you’re projecting in a classroom and you want to ensure that no 
one touches the projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote 
control. See page 121. 
■Lock the network configuration settings. See page 118. 
If you create a user’s logo for the projector, you can set up the logo so 
it is displayed as the startup screen and/or AV/Mute screen. 
Unauthorized users cannot turn it off or change it. This feature is 
intended to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the 
projector should it be stolen. 
note
You can also adjust the 
volume using the remote 
control.

Enabling Password Protection
To prevent unauthorized use, you can assign the projector a password. 
If you do, a screen will appear requesting the password whenever the 
projector is plugged in and turned on. If an incorrect password is 
entered three times in succession, the projector’s operation is locked 
and the power cord must be disconnected and reinserted to redisplay 
the password screen. If an incorrect password is entered thirty times in 
succession, the user must contact Epson to unlock the projector. 
The default setting for the Password Protect function is 
Off. Follow 
these steps to turn password protection on:
1. Press the 
Freeze button on the remote control for about five 
seconds.
You see this screen:
2. Use the   pointer button to set 
Power On Protect to On. Then 
press 
Enter.
3. Press 
Esc.
4. Select Password and press Enter.
5. When you see a message asking if you want to change the 
password, select 
Yes and press Enter.
6. Hold down the 
Num button on the remote control and use the 
numeric keypad to enter a four digit password. (The default 
setting is 0000.) 
7. When you see a confirmation message, reenter the password. 
Then press the 
Menu button to exit the screen.
note
It’s a good idea to write 
down your password. 
If you leave the projector 
plugged in, the Password 
Protect Release screen will 
not appear. You only need a 
password if you unplug and 
reconnect the power cable.
caution
If you lose the remote 
control, you will not be able 
to enter the password. Keep 
the remote control in a safe 
place at all times. 
						

							118Fine-Tuning the Projector8. Press the 
Num button on the remote control to deactivate the 
numeric keypad.
9. If you want to disable the password temporarily, select 
Timer and 
press 
Enter. Then hold down the Num button while you use the 
numeric keypad to enter the number of hours (from 0 to 9999) 
that you want the password feature disabled. If you want the 
projector to request the password every time it is turned on, set 
the timer to 
0H. 
The countdown for the elapsed time begins as soon as you close 
the Password Protect menu. (You can check the elapsed time in 
this menu next to 
Time elapsed.)
10. To enable your screen logo, select 
User’s Logo Protect and press 
Enter. Select On and press Enter. 
When this feature is on, the logo appears whenever you turn on 
the projector (if the 
Startup Screen is enabled in the Extended 
menu; see page 119). It also appears when you press the A/V 
Mute button (if you selected the 
Logo for the A/V Mute setting 
under Display in the Extended menu). None of the User’s Logo 
features in the Extended menu can be changed when the User’s 
Logo Protect function is enabled.
11. To enable network setting protection, select 
Network Protect 
and press 
Enter. Select On and press Enter. 
When this feature is on, none of the network settings on the 
Configuration menu can be changed. 
Starting the Projector with a Password
When the password function is enabled, you see this screen when you 
plug in and turn on the projector: 
						

							Fine-Tuning the Projector119
Hold down the Num button on the remote control and use the 
numeric keypad to enter the four digit password.
The password screen closes, the numeric keypad is automatically 
deactivated, and projection begins.
If the password is not correct, you see a message prompting you to 
re-enter the password. If you enter an incorrect password three times 
in succession, you see the message 
The projector’s operation will be 
locked. Request code xxxxx
 and the projector switches to standby 
mode for approximately 5 minutes. Write down the request code. 
Then disconnect the projector’s power cord from the electrical outlet, 
reconnect it, and turn the projector back on. 
When you see the Password Protect Release screen again, you can try 
to enter the correct password.
If you enter an incorrect password 30 times in succession, the 
projector remains locked and you must contact Epson to unlock it. 
If you have forgotten the password, contact Epson with the request 
code number that appears in the Password Protect Release screen for 
assistance. See “Where To Get Help” on page 162.
Creating Your Own Startup Screen
You can transfer any image from your computer or video source to the 
projector and then use it as your startup screen. You can also use it as 
the screen displayed when the projector is not receiving a signal or 
when you press the 
A/V Mute button. The image can be a company 
logo, slogan, photograph, or any other image you want to use. 
Capturing the Image

or video source, such as a DVD player or digital camera. Then follow 
these steps to capture the image and transfer it to the projector:
