PRODUCT SUPPORT BULLETIN

04/02/2002 Originator: JAM PSB.2002.04.004 Authorization: Report #02-37 Total Pages: 1 ELP-3000 / 3300 / 3500, PowerLite 5000 / 5000XB / 7000 / 7000XB / 7300 Computer DVD video tearing on Epson Projectors
This bulletin was created to inform you of DVD video tearing on Epson projectors manufactured prior to June 1998. Models affected: ELP-3000 PowerLite-7000
ELP-3300 PowerLite-5000XB
ELP-3500 PowerLite-7000XB
PowerLite-5000 PowerLite-7300
Description of artifact: When playing high image contrast, fast-action DVD movies, a very thin horizontal break can occur in the image. The line-tear is very difficult to see if the viewing environment is moderately or brightly lit. Most viewers will not notice it. This line-tear can occur at the top, middle or bottom of the screen as the movie continues to play. The tearing occurs about every 5 to 8 minutes of play and can be seen for the duration of the movie. The break can also appear to travel vertically over time because of timing differences between video frame rates and projector refresh cycles. The artifact only occurs when playing movies from a Computer DVD player through the VGA port. There is no video tearing of the same motion picture through the S-Video, Composite or Component input ports on the projector. The artifact appears only in the video display. The audio track is unaffected. The issue is not dependent on PC or Mac hardware platforms, operating system or DVD player software. Reasons: Digital video playback through computers was not prevalent until the mass production of Computer DVD players. With the incorporation of NTSC video frames embedded into RGB computer video signals, synchronization limitations (frame shift) were encountered. In June 1998, Epson incorporated frame synchronization circuitry for future projector models to eliminate the artifact. Resolution: Because the introduction of Computer DVD playback occurred after the manufacture of the mentioned projectors, Epson has no plans to replace or upgrade the models specified.

06/02/2000 PSB.2000.06.001 N/A Multimedia Projectors Projector Compatibility with iMacs

This bulletin provides useful information on how to connect EPSON Multimedia Projectors to iMac models that have no external video port and have Mac OS 8.1, 8.5 or 8.6 factory installed. Problem: The earlier versions of the iMacs do not have an external video port to connect an EPSON projector. It is possible to output video signal from the iMacs by using a third party external video adapter.
Resolution: The current line of EPSON's multimedia projectors do support the iMacs, using the recommended third party external video adapter from PowerR, at the supported video resolution 1024 x 768 with refresh rate of 75Hz. The iPresenter video adapter is a compact device that installs into an Apple iMac computer. iPresenter RGB Video Adapter for iMac Model: iP-10 Power R Inc. 756 Aloha Street Seattle, WA. 98109 (800) 729-6970 www.powerr.com
Supports iMac version: Versions A,B,C,D no video out

05/18/2000 Originator: AP PSB.2000.05.001 Authorization: N/A Total Pages: 1 Multimedia Projectors Multi-Monitor Support Function of Newer Macintosh Notebook Computers
This bulletin provides configuration procedures for the newer Macintosh notebook computers with the EPSON Multimedia Projectors.
Problem description: When the projector is connected to an Apple notebook, part of the Mac OS desktop may not display on either the LCD panel or the projector. Often, only the desktop wallpaper is visible on one screen, with the other containing the complete video output.
Reason: Newer Macintosh notebook computers are often configured for extended desktop video output instead of video mirroring. This results in partial information being sent to either the LCD panel or the projector. This feature has been observed on Powerbook and G3 Powerbook models running Mac OS 8.x and later, but it is possible the issue has been experienced by other Macintosh users.
Resolution: 1. Click the Apple Menu to select the Control Panels, Monitors and Sound option. When the projector is powered on while connected to the computer, there will be an Arrange icon in the Monitors and Sound control panel. 2. Click the Arrange icon to access that control. In the Arrange control view window, there should be icons for two monitors. 3. Click one of the monitor icons and drag it on top of the other monitor icon. Release that icon on the other icon. This enables dual display support where both screens receive and display all video information.

Date: June 16, 1997 PSB No.: PSB.1997.96.001 Reference: N/A Originator: Bob Stanek Authorbdon: w A&&d Product(s): ELP-3500 Projector Subject VGA Cable Compatibility
Most computers provide a 15 pin female VGA output connector. However, some computer manufacturers use a female VGA connector that does not provide a hole for pin 9 on a VGA cable. The connectors at both ends of the VGA cable for the ELP-3500 projector have all 15 pins in the connectors. If the computers VGA output connector has pin 9 blocked, you will not be able to plug the projectors VGA cable into the computer. Should you encounter a computer which does not provide a hole for pin 9 of the projectors male VGA connector, simply remove pin 9 at one end of the ELP-3500 VGA cable, then use the connector with pin 9 removed to plug into the computers VGA connector. The following diagram shows the pin configuration of the projectors 15 pin VGA connector as seen by looking at the end of the connector. The before diagram shows the location of pin 9. BEFORE
