Important Information About Your Projector

Important Safety Information

Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your

eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the

lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as

specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing

to qualified service personnel.

Warning: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from

small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue

left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

Remote Control Information

You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front of the

projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:

pThere is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the projector.

pAmbient light is too bright.

pCertain types of fluorescent lighting are used.

pA strong light source shines into the IR receiver.

pOther equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room.

These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following

solutions:

pThe remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them.

pDim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.

pClose any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight.

pTurn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.

If the remote control still does not work properly, remember you can always control your computer-based

presentation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above.

7 Technical Specifications 149

Glossary 155

Index 159

Introduction

The EPSON®

PowerLite®projector is a compact, lightweight

projector that lets you project full-color images and video onto a

large screen for presentations. It supports IBM®

compatible PCs and

laptops, as well as Apple®Macintosh,

Power Macintosh,

™

and

PowerBook®computers.

Note: The projector also supports a wide range of video formats.

See page 153 for details on supported computers and video formats.

In addition to its size and versatility, your projector offers the

following advantages:

pYou can connect it simultaneously to two image sources: one

PC or Apple Macintosh computer plus one video source, such as

a VCR or camcorder.

pYou can connect the projector to an audio source for one or both

image sources. The audio source can be the computer, video

source, or another device such as a stereo.

Introduction

pIt produces images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough

to take notes. The PowerLite 5550C displays images in SVGA

at a resolution of 800 ×600 pixels. The PowerLite 7550C

displays images in XGA at a resolution of 1024 ×768 pixels.

pIts two speakers employ a built-in SRS 3D Sound System for

rich, powerful audio output. You can also connect an external

speaker when further amplification is required.

pYou can select front, rear, or ceiling projection, according to the

specific needs of your presentation.

pThe projector’s new patented SizeWize™ chip supports a variety

of computer output resolutions. For example, the resize feature

lets you display VGA or XGA images at the projector’s SVGA

resolution.

pYou can control your projector through a hand-held remote

control, which can also act as a wireless mouse to control the

cursor on your computer screen during presentations.

pThe optional ELP Link III software enables you to control the

projector from a computer. In addition, it lets you assign

functions both to your keyboard and to the remote control, and

even program the keyboard and remote control with your own

customized functions.

pThe projector’s sleep mode conserves electricity by

automatically turning off the lamp after the projector has not

been used for 30 minutes. The projector remains on, but the

lamp is turned off, cooling the projector and extending the life

of the lamp.
