    You can also change the image size by moving the projector closer to 
    or farther away from the screen. You can use the 
    E-Zoom buttons on 
    the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. See page 49 
    for instructions. 
    Adjusting the Height of Your Image
    If you’re projecting from a table or other flat surface and the image is 
    too high or low, you can correct it by adjusting the projector’s front 
    and/or rear feet.
     
    1. To adjust the front foot, stand behind the projector. Press up on 
    the blue foot release lever and lift the front of the projector to 
    extend the front adjustable foot.
    2. Once the image is positioned where you want, release the lever to 
    lock the foot in position.
    3. To adjust the rear feet, rotate the feet to extend or retract them to 
    the desired height.
    If the projected image isn’t rectangular, follow the instructions in the 
    next section. 
    						
    							42Projecting
    Adjusting the Image Shape
    If the projector is tilted up or down, the images that are displayed will 
    be distorted. To correct the distortion or “keystone” shape, do one or 
    more of the following:
    ■If your image looks like   or  , you’ve placed the projector 
    off to one side of the screen, at an angle. Move it directly in front 
    of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely.
    ■If your image looks like   or  , you need to adjust the 
    keystone correction value. Press the   or   buttons on the 
    projector to correct the shape of the image. After correction, your 
    image will be slightly smaller.
    You can also make keystone adjustments using the projector’s Settings 
    menu. See page 60.
    Adjusting the Brightness
    The brightness of an image depends on the source you are projecting 
    and the amount of light in the room. If the image is too bright or not 
    bright enough, here are two ways you can adjust it:
    ■Change the Brightness setting in the Image menu. See page 57.
    ■Select Low or High for the Brightness Control option in the 
    Settings menu. (See page 61.) Low brightness mode extends the 
    life of the lamp and decreases the fan noise.

    Correcting Computer Images
    If you’ve connected a computer and the image doesn’t look right, or it 
    doesn’t fit properly on the screen, press the 
    Enter button on the 
    projector or the 
    Enter/Auto button on the remote control. This 
    automatically resets the projector’s tracking, sync, resolution, and 
    position settings. You must be projecting a computer image for this 
    button to have any effect. Additionally, if the 
    Auto Setup option in 
    the Signal menu is set to 
    Off, the Auto function will not work. See 
    page 59.
    Adjusting the Volume
    You can use the Vol– and Vol+ buttons on the remote control to 
    increase or decrease the volume for the projector’s built-in speaker. 
    A volume gauge appears on the screen while the volume is being 
    adjusted.
    note
    You can also adjust the 
    volume using the projector’s 
    Settings menu. See page 60 
    for details.
    You must adjust the volume 
    separately for each input 
    source.

    Shutting Down the Projector
    When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended 
    procedure to shut it down.
    1. If you’re using a computer, shut it down first; otherwise you may 
    not be able to see your computer’s display to shut it down 
    properly.
    2. To turn off the projector, press the P 
    Power button on the 
    projector or remote control.
    You see this confirmation message: 
    (If you don’t want to turn it off, 
    press any other button or wait a 
    few seconds until it disappears.)
    3. Press the P 
    Power button again. The projector beeps twice, the 
    lamp is turned off, and the P
    Power light turns orange. (To turn 
    the projector on again, press the P 
    Power button.)
    With Epson’s exclusive Instant Off
    ® technology there’s no 
    cool-down period, so you can pack up and go immediately after 
    turning off the projector.
    4. Press up on the blue foot release lever and lower the projector to 
    retract the front adjustable foot.
    5. Attach the lens cover.
    6. Unplug the power cord.
    7. Turn off and disconnect any equipment plugged into the 
    projector.
    8. If you won’t be using the projector for awhile, attach the lens 
    cover’s protective pad. Then store it in a protective case.
    note
    When the projector has not 
    received any input signals 
    for 30 minutes, it 
    automatically turns off the 
    projector lamp and enters 
    “sleep mode.” This conserves 
    electricity, cools the 
    projector, and extends the 
    life of the lamp. If you are 
    done using the projector, 
    unplug the power cord. If 
    you want to start projecting 
    again, press the P 
    Power 
    button. You can turn sleep 
    mode on or off through the 
    Extended menu. See 
    page 63.
    Turn off this product when 
    not in use to prolong the life 
    of the projector.
    caution
    To avoid damaging the 
    projector or lamp, 
    never unplug the power 
    cord when the 
    PPower light is green 
    or flashing orange.

    Using the Remote Control
    The remote control lets you access your projector’s features from 
    anywhere in the room—up to 20 feet (6 m) away. For example, you 
    can turn the projector on and off, freeze the presentation, zoom in on 
    a portion of your image, and access the menu system. (The projector 
    menus let you adjust many projector settings; see Chapter 4.)
    When using the remote control, stand within 20 feet (6 m) of the 
    projector. Point the remote control either at the front or back of the 
    projector or at the screen (the projector’s front sensor can detect 
    signals bounced off the screen). Press the button for the function you 
    want to use.
    This chapter covers the following information:

    Controlling the Picture and Sound
    You can use the remote control to select your source, adjust the colors, 
    temporarily turn off the picture and sound, freeze the action, or zoom 
    in on the picture. Make sure you have set up your projector and 
    connected any equipment as described in Chapter 1.
    Switching Between Picture Sources
    If you’ve connected your projector to more than one computer and/or 
    video source, you can use the 
    Source Search button on the projector 
    or remote control to switch between the different sources.  
    After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the 
    image appears. The name of the selected source (such as 
    Computer1 
    or 
    S-Video) appears briefly on the screen.

    Stopping Action 
    Press the Freeze button to stop the action in your video or computer 
    image and keep the current image on the screen. The sound will 
    continue, however. Also, because the source continues to transmit 
    signals, you won’t resume the action from the point you paused it.
    To restart the action, press the 
    Freeze button again.
