iii Important Information About Your ELP-3300 Please read the following important information about your ELP-3300 projector. 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. WARNING: Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp, fuse, and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically explained in this Owner’s Manual, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new bulb with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the bulb life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new bulb. Remote Control Information The ELP-3300 allows you to operate it by remote control via infrared (IR) receivers located at the front and back of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions: • The ambient light is too bright
iv • Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used • A strong light source shines into either IR receiver • Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room. These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following solutions: • The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them. • Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights. • Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight. • Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy. If the remote control still does not work properly, cover the unused IR receiver on the projector with light-blocking material, such as masking tape. Remember you can always control your computer-based presentation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above. README File Information The diskettes that came with your projector include README files that contain additional important information about the projector. Be sure to read these files.

ix Introduction T he compact, lightweight EPSON ® ELP-3300 Projector allows you to project computer images and video onto a large screen for full-color presentations. The projector can connect simultaneously to two image sources; one can be your PC or Apple ® Macintosh ® computer and the other can be a video source, such as a VCR, camcorder, digital camera, or laser disk player. Audio can be supplied with one or both image sources. Images are displayed in up to 16 million colors at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The projector’s 300-lumen bulb produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes. You can play audio on the projector’s internal speakers or route it to an external speaker for amplification. You control the projector through a hand-held remote control, which allows you to switch between image sources and make adjustments to the projected image. The projector supports any computer capable of VGA output, including IBM ®- compatible PCs and laptops and Apple Macintosh computers, including the PowerBook TM and Power Macintosh. TM The video source can be NTSC, PAL, and SECAM in composite video or S-Video format.
