Introduction 
Y 
our compact, lightweight EPSON EMP-713/703/503 
projector lets you project full-color images and video onto a 
large screen for presentations. You can connect it 
simultaneously to two image sources: one PC or Apple® 
Macintosh® computer image source, plus one video source 
such as a video tape deck, camcorder, or digital camera. You 
can also connect audio for each image source.
Images are displayed in full color (16,670,000 colors) at a 
XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (EMP-713/703) and 
SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (EMP-503). Your 
projector produces bright images that can be easily seen in 
rooms light enough to take notes. 
A totally new AVTSS™ (Automatic Video Tracking and 
Synchronization Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic 
set-up of image from a computer.
You control your projector through a hand-held remote 
control unit, with menus being provided for image source 
switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also 
act as a wireless mouse to control mouse operations on your 
computer screen during presentations. 
						

							 
Introduction 
         
viii 
Your projector features the newest resizing technology DAR 
(Digital Active Resizing) which supports VGA~UXGA 
computer output (The EMP-503 does not support UXGA). 
No matter what type of computer output is used, the result is 
a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.
The video source can be NTSC, NTSC4.43, NTSC50, PAL 
M-PAL, N-PAL, PAL60 or SECAM in composite video or S-
Video format. See Chapter 6 for details on supported 
computers and video formats.
