Functions for Enhancing Projection
Pausing the Image and Sound (A/V Mute)
For example, this can be used if you want to pause the projection for a moment and focus the audiences attention on what you are saying. Or if you are making a computer presentation and you do not want to show details, such as selecting different files.
Freezing the Image (Freeze)
The source image continues to project even when the screen is frozen. You can still perform operations such as changing files, without projecting any images.
You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [Freeze] button.
You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [A/V Mute] button.
If you use this function when projecting moving images, the images and sound will still continue to be played back by the source, and you cannot return to the point where the A/V mute function was activated. The screen display in A/V mute can be chosen from black, blue, or a logo by using "Extended" -"Display" "Background Color" in the configuration menu.
Sound does not stop. Even though the image on the screen is frozen, the image source continues to play. It is not possible to resume projection from the point where it was paused, unless you have paused the source image. Pressing the [Freeze] button also clears configuration menu displays and help messages from the screen. The freeze function still works while the E-Zoom function is being used.
Changing the Aspect Ratio (Resizing)
This function changes the aspect ratiog of images from 4:3 to 16:9 when component videog, S-Videog, or composite videog images are being projected. Images which have been recorded in digital video or onto DVDs can be viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format.
Displaying the Pointer (Pointer)
This allows you to move a pointer icon on the projected image, and helps you draw attention to the area you are talking about.

Never open any covers on the projector except the lamp cover. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury. Except as specifically directed in the Users Guide supplied, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Keep the plastic bags for the projector, accessories and optional parts out of the reach of children. Children covering their heads with bags may result in death by suffocation. Be particularly careful around small children. When you replace the lamp, never touch the new bulb with your bare hands. The invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may be shorten the bulb life. Use a cloth or gloves to handle the new bulb.
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector: Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it. Do not use the projector near water or sources of heat. Use attachments only as recommended. Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or local electricity company. Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. If the projector has a three-prong plug, insert the projectors three-pin grounding-type plug into a properly grounded outlet. If you have a twoprong outlet, contact an electrician to replace it.

Take the following precautions when handling the plug. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in sparks or fire or electric shock. Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cables or integral convenience receptacles. This can cause fire or electric shock. Do not place the projector where the cable can be stepped on. It may result in fraying or damage to the plug. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Do not block the slots and opening in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not place the projector on a sofa, rug or other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. Never push objects of any kind through cabinet slots. Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector. Unplug the projector when it will not be used for extended periods. Do not place the projector and remote control on top of heat producing equipment or in a heated place, such as a car. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or it has been exposed to rain or water If it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged The internal projector components consist of many glass parts such as the lens and projection lamp.
Important Safety Instructions The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact your dealer or contact Epson for repairs. sp.56 Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth. Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter underneath the projector while it is in use. Remove anything from underneath the projector that might get stuck against the air filter in this way. Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use. Doing so will result in serious burns. Before removing the lamp, turn off the power supply and wait the time specified in the Users Guide to allow the lamp to cool completely. A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's light source. Mercury lamps may make a loud noise when they break. Handle the lamp with extreme care while observing the following. If the following points are not observed, injury or poisoning may result. Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts. Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed. Once the lamp replacement period has elapsed, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor. If the lamp breaks, immediately ventilate the room to prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth. Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, in order to prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth. If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a new lamp, contact the place of purchase or contact Epson sp.56 for information on replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass may get scattered around inside the projector.

Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth. In addition, consult your local regulations regarding proper disposal and do not place in the trash. If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical advice. If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power plug, otherwise you may receive an electric shock. Clean the inside of the projector periodically. If the inside of the projector has not been cleaned for a long time, dust may build up and cause fire or electric shocks. Contact your dealer or Authorized Epson Service Center to clean inside the projector at least once a year. A charge will be levied for this service. If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed. If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. When replacing batteries, take the following precautions. Replace the batteries as soon as they run out. If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash immediately. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame. Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations. Remove the batteries if you wont be using the projector for a long period of time.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Make sure you read the separate Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms before cleaning.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth. If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector's surface. These can cause the projector to warp and make the coating finish peel off.
If the air filters are broken or if the warning message reappears after they have been cleaned, they should be replaced. Replace with a new air filter. See "Replacing the Air Filter". sp.62

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
