EPSON Powerlite 51c/71c 4 - EPSON Powerlite 51c/71c 12/01 Positioning the Projector The location in which you choose to set up your projector depends on the size of the room and your presentation style. ❏Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, within this distance from the screen: 3.3 to 36 feet in Wide mode 3.9 to 43.2 feet in Tele mode (see page 7 for more information on these modes) ❏Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. ❏Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord, and within 5 feet of your computer and/or video source. ❏Place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image will not be square. Note : It’s best to position the screen directly in front of the room. If it’s placed diagonally in a corner, it’s much more difficult to aim the projector at the screen correctly and get a square image. Most presenters find it convenient to place the screen in the front of the room with the projector back near the front of the audience, leaving ample room between the screen and projector to get a good-sized image. Then the presenter can stand in front of the room, facing the audience and control the equipment from there. Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how far from the screen to place the projector. Your image size may not exactly match these sizes; its actual size depends on whether you have adjusted the image size setting (using keystone correction or the Wide/Tele button). When projecting from a table, the ideal arrangement is to set the projector flat on its surface with the base of the lens at about the level of the bottom of the screen. This delivers the best-looking picture. If you have to raise the projector by adjusting its feet (described on page 7), you’ll need to square-up the sides of image by pressing the Keystone button (also on page 7). If you’ll be projecting from overhead, you’ll get the best- looking picture by mounting the projector upside-down, parallel to the ceiling, with the bottom of its lens level with the top of the screen. (You’ll also need to select ceiling projection mode in the projector’s Advanced menu.) Displaying an Image Once you’ve connected the projector to your computer or other equipment, you’re ready to turn on the projector, adjust the image, and give your presentation. Turning On Your Equipment Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and connected correctly. Then plug in and turn on your equipment, as described below. Note: If you have more than one source connected, you may have to switch to the one you want to use, as described on page 8. Follow these steps to plug in and turn on your equipment: 1. If you’re projecting video, first plug in and turn on your VCR, DVD player, or other video source. (If you’re projecting from a computer, go to step 2.) 2. To turn on the projector, first connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power inlet on its left side. 3. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet. The Power light on the projector turns orange, indicating that the projector is receiving power and is in sleep mode, but is not yet turned on. 4 ft. 8 ft. 40 ft. distance from the screen
EPSON Powerlite 51c/71c 12/01 EPSON Powerlite 51c/71c - 5 4. Remove the lens cap. 5. Press the red Power button on top of the projector. (You can also turn on the projector using the remote control, but you must turn on the remote control first.) The Power light flashes green and then stays on. You see a blue screen with the message No Signal displayed. Wa r n i n g Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children. 6. If you’re projecting images from a computer, turn on your computer. In a few moments, you should see your computer display projected. (If a projected image fails to appear, see the next section for help.) Note: Windows only: If you see a New Hardware Found message saying that Windows has found a plug-and-play monitor, click Cancel. 7. If you’re projecting video, press the Play button. (If a projected image fails to appear, see the next section for help.) Once you see your image, turn to page 6 for instructions on focusing and making other image adjustments. When you’re done with your presentation, shut down the projector as described on page 9. Shutting down the projector correctly prevents premature lamp failure and possible damage to the projector from overheating. What To Do If You See a Blank Screen If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the message No Signal after turning on your computer or video source, do one of the following: ❏Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide. ❏Make sure the Power light is green and not flashing and the lens cap is off. ❏If you’ve connected more than one input source, you may need to press the Source button on top of the projector or the Computer, Video, or S-Video button on the remote control to select the source you want to use. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up.)❏Try restarting your computer. ❏If you still don’t see an image and you’re using a PowerBook or a PC laptop, see the next sections. For a PowerBook® or iBook® Running OS 9.x or Earlier You may need to set up your system to display on the projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Follow these steps: 1. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then click Monitors and Sound. 2. Click the Arrange icon. 3. Drag one monitor icon on top of the other. If this option isn’t available, you may need to select one of the Simulscan resolution settings. Click the Monitor icon, then select a Simulscan resolution as shown.
