Features of the Projector
The optimum images for the location can be projected simply by selecting the desired colour mode from the 
following five preset modes. No complex colour adjustments are required.
If Theatre, Natural or sRGB   is selected, the Epson Cinema Filter effect is applied automatically to 
increase the contrast and to make flesh tones appear with more natural tints.       p.8
The Cinema Color Editor CD-ROM that 
is included with the projector can be 
used to make fine adjustments to the hue 
and saturation of the projected images 
from a computer.
Adjustment values can be saved in 
computer files which can be exchanged 
with other people so that they can also 
see the results of the adjustments that 
you have made.

Features of the Projector
Equipped with a wide-angle lens shift function
Wide range of brightness adjustments
A variety of image setting functions
Electronic zoom and focus adjustment
The projectors control panel and the accessory remote control can be used for easy zoom and focus adjustments. An 
adjustment screen is displayed so that adjustment is possible even when no video equipment is connected. For zoom 
adjustment, a high magnification lens is provided to allow images to be increased in size by up to 1.5 times, so that 
images can be projected onto an 80 screen even at a distance of approximately 2.5 m.       Setup Guide
Some of the other many functions that are available are as follows.
A progressive   conversion that lets you obtain ideal results both for images with large amounts of movement and for 
still images.      p.18
An aspect function that allows images to be viewed in wide-screen format.      p.8
Memory functions that allow adjustment results to be stored and later retrieved easily using the remote control.      p.12
Lock settings that can be used to lock the projectors control panel after adjustments have been made so that they 
cannot be changed by mistake, or to prevent children from accidentally turning on the power and looking into the 
lens.      p.20 The image brightness can be adjusted within a wide range. The optimum images can be obtained even if using the 
projector in a bright environment for watching videos or games, or in a dark environment such as when creating the 
atmosphere of a home theatre.       p.14 The lens shift function allows the position of the projected 
images to be adjusted vertically and horizontally without 
distorting the images.
This can allow the projector to be set up with greater 
freedom, even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at an 
angle to the screen.       Setup Guide
