							 Cleaning the Projector, Cleaning the Lens, Cleaning the Air Filter - 109EMP-715/505E  mainte.fm
Cleaning the projector
·Gently wipe the soiled parts of the projector with a soft cloth. 
·When the soiling is severe, wipe the area with a cloth moistened with a medium-strenth 
cleaning agent diluted with water, and then gently wipe it with a dry cloth. 
Never use wax, Benzene, thinner or other active agents. Failure to observe this may result in 
damage or paint peeling from the casing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens with an air-blower (available on the open market) and special lens cleaning 
paper. The surface of the lens is easily damaged, so exercise extreme caution and avoid using 
anything other than soft materials.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Air ventilation will deteriorate and the internal temperature of the projector will rise if the Air 
Filter becomes blocked with dirt and dust, and this may result in damage.
Ensure that the projector is stood on its end and the Air Filter cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to 
prevent the dirt and dust from penetrating inside.
Po i n t
·If it is no longer possible to remove the dirt from the Air Filter or it begins to crack, it is time 
to replace it. Contact your dealer in this event.
·A replacement air filter is packaged with the replacement lamp. Replace the Air Filter at 
the same time as replacing the lamp.

							110 - Replacing the Air FilterEMP-715/505E  mainte.fm




 
Replacing the Air Filter
Replacement method 
1Switch off the power supply, allow the projector to cool down, and then disconnect the 
Power Cord. The amount of time required for the projector to cool down will depend 
on the surrounding temperature.
2Raise the air filter with a screwdriver or similar object to remove it.
Po i n t
Ensure that the projector is stood on its end when replacing the Air Filter to prevent the dir t 
and dust from penetrating inside.
3Set a new Air Filter in place.
Po i n t
·Slip the clip in place first, and then press the other side to set it in place.
·Dispose of used air filters in accordance with local disposal regulations.

							 Replacing the Lamp - 111EMP-715/505E  mainte.fm




 
Replacing the Lamp
Replace the lamp at the following times (model number: ELPLP14).
When a message stating [Lamp Replace] is displayed for thirty seconds after 
the start of projection
When the lamp indicator is blinking in orange
When the brightness and picture quality has deteriorated below the initial 
levels
Po i n t
·Replace the lamp as quickly as possible after the message has been displayed to main-
tain the initial brightness levels and picture quality.
·The replacement message has been set at approximately 900 hours of use in order to 
maintain the initial brightness levels and picture quality.
·Although the replacement message is displayed after approximately 900 hours of use, 
there are cases where the individual characteristics of each lamp and other usage condi-
tions result in it not lighting up before this 900 hours has elapsed. For this reason, always 
prepare a replacement lamp well in advance.
·Replacement lamps are available from Epson OA Supplies Inc.
Order your lamps from your nearest Epson dealer.
Lamp Replace
The lamp indicator will blink in orange.

							112 - Replacing the LampEMP-715/505E  mainte.fm
Replacement method 
1Switch off the power supply, allow the projector to cool down*, and then disconnect the 
Power Cord.
The amount of time required for the projector to cool down will depend on the surround-
ing temperature.
2Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently, and then remove the lamp cover.
·Approximately one hour is required for the lamp to cool down sufficiently.
·Loosen and remove the screw holding the fan in place.
3Withdraw the lamp.
Loosen the two screws holding the lamp in place, and then pull the lamp out towards you.
4Attach a new lamp.
Align the direction, push the lamp in as far as it will go, and then secure it in place with 
the two screws.

5Attach the lamp cover.
Align the direction, insert the fan, and then secure it in place with the one screw.
Po i n t
·Attach the lamp firmly. A safety mechanism on the projector switches off the power auto-
matically when the lamp cover has been removed. The power will not be reinstated unless 
the lamp and lamp cover are set firmly in place.
·A replacement Air Filter is packaged with the replacement lamp. Replace the Air Filter at 
the same time as replacing the lamp.
·The illumination time will be automatically reset when the lamp has been replaced with a 
new one.

							 Transportation - 115 EMP-715/505E  option.fm




 
Transportation
The projector contains many glass and precision parts. Ensure that the following precautions 
are observed to prevent the projector from being damaged by impact during transportation.
 When sending the projector to the manufacturer for repairs, etc.
·Use the box in which the projector was packed at the time of purchase.
·If the box is no longer available, protect the projector by wrapping it in shock-proof material 
to prevent impact, and then place it in a strong cardboard box for transportation purposes.
 When carrying by hand
·Use the soft case supplied.
* Carry on board as cabin baggage when transporting by air.
* All damage arising during transportation by the user is not covered by the warranty.

Te r m i n o l o g y
This section provides simple explanations for the terminology used within the manual, items 
for which explanations are not available, and other complex processes.
A/V Mute Temporarily erases the image and sound. The sound and image can be muted 
by pressing the [A/V Mute] button on the projector. Press the [A/V Mute] 
button once again or adjust the volume or display the menu to cancel the mute 
mode.
D output port The output port for digital tuners that support the new digital broadcasts 
within Japan.
SVGA IBM PC/AT compatible (DOS/V equipment) signals with 800 horizontal pix-
els and 600 vertical pixels.
SXGA IBM PC/AT compatible (DOS/V equipment) signals with 1,280 horizontal 
pixels and 1,024 vertical pixels.
Sync(synchronization) Outputs computer signals at a pre-determined frequency. The image will not 
be projected clearly unless this frequency is aligned with the frequency of the 
projector. Aligning the signal phasing is known as synchronization. Projected 
images will be subject to distrubance, blurring and horizontal noise if not syn-
chronized.
VGA IBM PC/AT compatible (DOS/V equipment) signals with 640 horizontal pix-
els and 480 vertical pixels.
XGA IBM PC/AT compatible (DOS/V equipment) signals with 1,024 horizontal 
pixels and 768 vertical pixels.
USB An abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. This is an interface for connecting 
comparitively low frequency equipment to the computer.
UXGA IBM PC/AT compatible (DOS/V equipment) signals with 1,600 horizontal 
pixels and 1,200 vertical pixels.
Color temperature The temperature of the subject that emits light. A blue hue is attained when 
the color temperature is high, and a red hue is attained when the color temper-
ature is low.
Color differential signal Video equipment transmits signals through three cables as Red-Bright (R-Y), 
Yellow-Bright (Y) and Blue-Bright (B-Y). This enables the composite signals 
(the red, green and blue signals and their brightness signals are transmitted 
along one cable) to be projected more clearly.
Operating system The software necessary to operate the computer. The EMP Link V supplied 
with the projector operates the computers with the use of the Windows 95 
(Japanese version) operating system, the Windows 98 (Japanese version) oper-
ating system, the Windows NT 4.0 (Japanese version) operating system, the 
Windows 2000 (Japanese version) operating system, and the Macintosh Kanji 
Talk 7.5.5 or higher operating systems.
Cool-down A lamp cooling procedure continues to operate even after the power supply 
has been switched off and the lamp extinguished. The cooling fan will begin 
to operate when the lamp is entinguished, and button operations will no 
longer be possible. This period is known as the cooling down period. The 
amount of time required for the cooling down procedure will differ in accor-
dance with the surrounding temperature.

							 Terminology - 117 EMP-715/505E  option.fm
Contrast By strengthening or weakening the tone of the colors, it is possible to project 
characters and pictures more clearly and attain a softer tint. This is known as 
contrast adjustment.
Tracking Outputs computer signals at a pre-determined frequency. The image will not 
be projected clearly unless this frequency is aligned with the frequency of the 
projector. Aligning the signal frequency is known as tracking. Projected 
images will be subject to distrubance, blurring and horizontal noise if not syn-
chronized.
