Adjusting Signal Settings
Although the projector normally detects and optimizes the input 
signal automatically, you can use the Signal menu to make manual 
adjustments. In addition to changing the position of the projected 
image, you can correct tracking and sync for computer images, or 
change the aspect ratio. 
1. Press the 
Menu button and select the Signal menu. You see a 
screen similar to one of those below. (The settings will be different 
depending on the source you are projecting from.)

							72Fine-Tuning the Projector2. Adjust the desired options as needed:
■Auto Setup 
Leave this setting 
On to automatically optimize computer 
images. Turn it off if you want to save adjustments you have 
made to the Tracking, Sync, and Position settings.
■Resolution
Set to Auto to have the projector automatically identify the 
resolution of the input signal. If necessary, select 
Wide (for 
widescreen images) or 
Normal (for 4:3 ratio images).
■Tracking
Adjust this value to eliminate vertical stripes in computer 
images.
■Sync
Adjust this value if computer images appear blurry or flicker.
■Position
If the image is slightly cut off on one or more sides, it may not 
be centered exactly. Select this setting and use the arrow 
buttons to center it.
■Progressive
For composite video, S-Video, component video, and certain 
signals from the HDMI port only (EX5200/EX7200 only). 
Turn this setting on to convert interlaced signals into 
progressive signals (best for moving images). Leave the setting 
Off for still images.
■HDMI Video Range (EX5200/EX7200 only)
When you connect to the HDMI input port, set the 
projector’s video range to match the video range setting of 
your device.
■Input Signal
If the colors don’t look right on the Auto setting, select the 
setting for the type of equipment you’ve connected to the 
Computer (Component Video) port. Choose RGB for a 
computer or RGB-video connection, or 
Auto for a video 
device that outputs a component video signal (with 
connectors labeled Y/Cb/Cr or Y/Pb/Pr).
note
You can also use the remote 
control’s 
Auto button to 
automatically reset the 
projector’s Tracking, Sync, 
and Position settings. See 
page 101 for details.
note
You can adjust the 
Progressive setting for 
signals from the HDMI 
input port (excluding digital 
RGB) or component video 
only when 480i/576i/1080i 
signals are being input 
(EX5200/EX7200 only).
The HDMI Video Range 
setting cannot be set for 
digital RGB signals 
(EX5200/EX7200 only). 
						

							Fine-Tuning the Projector73
■Video Signal (composite or S-Video signals only)
Select the setting for the type of equipment you’ve connected 
to the 
Video port. Leave this setting at Auto unless you are 
using a 60-Hz PAL system (then select 
PAL60).
■Aspect
Sets the image’s aspect ratio (ratio of width to height). See 
page 55 for more information.
Customizing Projector Features
You can use the Settings menu to lock the buttons on the projector, 
adjust audio volume, and customize several other features.
■Keystone 
Adjusts the shape of the image if the projector has been tilted 
upward or downward. If you notice that lines or edges look jagged 
after adjustment, decrease the 
Sharpness setting (see page 69).
■Auto Keystone (EX5200/EX7200 only)
Automatically compensates for keystone distortion when the 
projector is tilted upward or downward. This feature is available 
only when the projector is set for front projection (enabled by 
default).
■Zoom (VS200/EX3200 only)
Adjusts the image size from 
Wide (larger) to Tele (smaller).

Using the Projector Security Features
To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can:
■Assign a password. You can use the password to prevent the 
projector from being turned on and prevent your custom startup 
screen from being changed. See the next section.
■Create a custom screen that is displayed at startup and/or when 
the 
A/V Mute button is pressed. The screen can be locked with a 
password to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the 
projector should it be stolen. See page 79. 
■Disable the projector’s buttons; this is useful, for example, in a 
classroom when you want to ensure that no one touches the 
projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote control. See 
page 81.
■Secure the projector to prevent theft using a cable locking system. 
See page 82.
Enabling Password Protection
The default setting for the password is 0000. Follow these steps to 
create a new password:
1. Press the 
Freeze button on the remote control for five to seven

■User’s Logo Protect: Prevents your custom screen (see 
page 79), display, and User’s Logo settings in the Extended 
menu from being changed. Select 
On, press Enter, then press 
Esc to return to the Password Protect screen.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select

appears only if you unplug 
and reconnect the power 
cord.
Hold down 
						

							Fine-Tuning the Projector79
If projection does not begin, check the following:
■If the password is not correct, you see a message prompting you to 
re-enter the password. If you enter an incorrect password three 
times in succession, you see an error code with the message 
The 
projector’s operation will be locked 
and the projector switches 
to standby mode. Write down the error code, then disconnect the 
projector’s power cord from the electrical outlet, reconnect it, and 
turn the projector back on. Try entering the correct password 
again.
■If you have forgotten the password, contact Epson with the 
request code number that appears in the Password screen for 
assistance. See “Where To Get Help” on page 104.
■If you enter an incorrect password 30 times in succession, the 
projector remains locked and you must contact Epson to arrange 
for service. 
Creating Your Own Startup Screen
You can transfer any image from your computer or video source to the 
projector and then use it as your startup screen. You can also use it as 
the screen displayed when the projector is not receiving a signal or 
when you press the 
A/V Mute button. The image can be a company 
logo, slogan, photograph, or any other image you want to use.
