Connecting to External EquipmentConnecting to External Speakers
You can output the audio for images being projected with the PC Free of 
EasyMP to external speakers.
When External is set as the EasyMP Audio Out setting from the 
configuration menu, and the projectors audio in port is joined with an 
external amplifiers built-in speaker, you can enjoy a richer, more 
powerful sound.
Connect with a commercially available audio cable (pin plug W 3.5 mm 
stereo mini plug and so on). Use an audio cable compatible with the 
connector on the external speakers.q
When projecting images using an EasyMP LAN 
connection, audio cannot be output from the projector.

GlossaryThis section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, 
refer to other commercially available publications. 
EMP Link21L
A utility software program that allows the projector to be connected to a computer so that the computer can be used to control the 
projector. For details on acquiring the software and for instructions on using the software and compatible projector models, go to http://
www.epson.com and select the support section of your local Epson Web site.
HDTV
An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions. 
 Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressive
g, i = interlace
g)
 Screen aspect ratio
g of 16:9
 Dolby Digital
g audio reception and playback (or output)
SDTV
An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for 
HDTV
g High-Definition Television. 
SNMP
An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers 
and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.
S-video
A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality. 
Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (colour signal). 
sRGB
An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled 
easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the 
connected signal source to sRGB.
SVGA
A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ^ 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. 
SXGA
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ^ 1024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. 
VGA
A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) ^ 480 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. 
XGA
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) ^ 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
Aspect ratio
The ratio between an images length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for 
standard images is 4:3. 
Interlace
A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting from left 
to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately. 
Contrast
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more 
clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called contrast adjustment. 
Component video
A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality. 
Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (colour difference signals). 
Composite video
Video signals that have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household 
video equipment (NTSC, NTSC4.43, PAL, M-PAL, N-PAL, PAL60, and SECAM formats). 
Squeeze mode
In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording 
medium as 4:3 images. 
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.  
						

							Glossary
66
Synchronization
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting 
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in 
the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur. 
Security slot
The security slot is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington. You can find details about the 
Microsaver Security System on the Kensington homepage http://www.kensington.com/
.
Tracking
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting 
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called 
Tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal. 
Dolby Digital
A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-
channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer. 
Progressive
A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single 
image. 
Refresh rate
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image 
must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the 
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

List of ESC/VP21 CommandsCommand List
When the power ON command is transmitted to the projector, the power 
turns on and it enters warm-up mode. When the projectors power has 
turned on, a colon : (3Ah) is returned. 
When a command is input, the projector executes the command and 
returns a :, and then accepts the next command. 
If the command being processed terminates abnormally, an error message 
is output and a : is returned. * Add a Carriage Return (CR) code (0Dh) to the end of each command and 
transmit.

PJLink (EMP-1715/1705 only)PJLink Class 1 was established by the JBMIA (Japan Business 
Machine and Information System Industries Association) as a standard 
protocol for controlling network-compatible projectors as part of their 
efforts to standardize projector control protocols.
The projector complies with the PJLink Class 1 standard established 
by the JBMIA.
It complies with all commands except for the following commands 
defined by PJLink Class 1, and agreement was confirmed by the 
PJLink standard adaptability verification.Non-compatible commands
