13 1 Displaying and Adjusting the Image Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment, you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the screen. Follow the guidelines in this chapter for: ■Positioning the projector ■Turning the projector on and off ■Selecting the image source ■Troubleshooting display problems ■Adjusting the image
14Displaying and Adjusting the Image Positioning the Projector If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image. Use the figures below to help you determine placement. (The image shown below is projected at a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the PowerLite 1735W is capable of displaying images as wide as 16:10.) Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other settings. Also keep these considerations in mind: ■Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface. ■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything that could block the vents. ■Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord. note You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 141 for details. TBD PowerLite 1725 PowerLite 1735W
Displaying and Adjusting the Image15 Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen. If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become “keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the buttons on the projector. See page23 for detailed information about correcting the image shape. For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room, see page 141. Turning the Projector On and Off Make sure your projector and any computer or video equipment are connected as described on page 39. Turn on your connected equipment before starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually (see page 18). note After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver ® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see page 12. Screen Projector
16Displaying and Adjusting the Image Turning On the Projector Follow these steps to turn on the projector: 1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover). 2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other end into an electrical outlet. The P Power light turns orange. note You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals or the A/V Mute slide remains closed for a period of time. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. To enable sleep mode, see page 112. Power light
Displaying and Adjusting the Image17 3. Press the red PPower button on the remote control or on top of the projector. The projector beeps once and the P Power light flashes green as the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the P Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is ready for use. 4. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 106. Using the Direct Power On Function The Direct Power On function enables faster setup. The projector will start up automatically when you plug it in; you won’t have to press the P Power button. Follow these steps to enable Direct Power On: 1. Press the Menu button on the remote control and select the Extended menu. 2. Choose Operation and press Enter. 3. Choose Direct Power On and press Enter. 4. Highlight On and press Enter. 5. Press Esc or Menu to exit. The setting will take effect the next time you plug in the projector. warning Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children. note If a power outage occurs when Direct Power On is enabled and the projector is plugged in, the projector will restart when the power is restored.
18Displaying and Adjusting the Image Shutting Down the Projector This projector incorporates Instant Off technology. To turn it off, you can press its P Power button as described below, unplug it, or turn off a power switch that supplies power to the projector. You don’t have to wait for the projector to cool off first. 1. To turn off the projector, press the P Power button on the remote control or projector. You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.) 2. Press the P Power button again. The projection lamp turns off and you can unplug the power cord. If you want to turn the projector on again, make sure the orange P Power light is not flashing, then press the PPower button. 3. If you extended the adjustable front foot, press up on the foot release lever to retract it. 4. Close the A/V Mute slide. Selecting the Image Source Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from different pieces of connected equipment (such as a computer or DVD player). If you don’t see the image you want, press the Search button on the remote control or the Source Search button on the projector until you see the image you want to project. note Lamp life results will vary depending on mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage. Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector. note To focus and adjust the image, see page 22. If a projected image fails to appear, see page 19 for help.
Displaying and Adjusting the Image19 You can also use the Source buttons on the remote control to switch between devices connected to the ports identified on each button, or select EasyMP™ to project wirelessly or from a USB drive. Troubleshooting Display Problems Follow these guidelines if you’re having trouble displaying an image. You Can’t Project an Image If you don’t see the image you are trying to project, try the following: ■Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described beginning on page 39. ■Make sure the PPower light is green and not flashing and the A/V Mute slide is open. ■If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video source, you may need to press the Source Search button on the projector’s control panel or Search button on the remote control to select the correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.) ■If you’re using a PC notebook, press the function key on your keyboard that lets you display on an external monitor. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as . You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing the setting. ■See page 128 for more solutions.
20Displaying and Adjusting the Image The Projector and Notebook Don’t Display the Same Image If you’re projecting from a notebook, and you can’t see your image on the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow these guidelines. If you’re using a PC notebook: ■On most systems, there’s a function key that lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as . You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing the setting. ■If the function key doesn’t permit you to display simultaneously on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. See your computer’s documentation or online help for details. If you’re using Mac OS X: You may need to set up your system to display on the projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Make sure your projector is connected and follow these steps: 1. From the Apple ® menu, select System Preferences, then select Displays. 2. Click Detect Displays. 3. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD dialog box is selected.
