Welcome

The PowerLite^®822p/83c is a portable projector that weighs less

than 7 pounds. The projector offers 2600 ANSI lumens (822p) or

2200 ANSI lumens (83c) of brightness. From classrooms to

boardrooms, your full-color presentations and videos will be bright

and vibrant even in ordinary indoor lighting.

Images are displayed at a native resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels.

Epson^®3LCD technology ensures accurate color and remarkable

saturation, even in well-lit rooms.

You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including

IBM^®-compatible PCs and laptops, Apple^®Macintosh, PowerPC^®

and Intel^®Core^™Macintosh computers, PowerBook^®computers, and

many iMac^®and iBook^®series systems. With Epson’s patented

SizeWise^™technology, the projector supports computer displays

ranging from VGA through UXGA.

You can use any of the following video sources: HDTV, VCR, DVD

™

player, gaming console (such as Microsoft^®Xbox, Sony^®

PlayStation^®3, and Nintendo Wii^™), camcorder, or digital camera.

The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats.

You can also connect the projector to a LAN (local area network) so

you can monitor the projector from a remote network computer using

the included EMP Monitor software.

You can connect up to four devices to the projector at the same time.

With the projector’s Source Search button, you don’t even have to

identify your input source. Just press the button until you see the

image you want on the screen.

Setting Up the Projector

This chapter tells you how to set up the projector and connect it to a

computer or video source. You can connect up to four devices

simultaneously: four video sources, or two computer and two video

sources.

You’ll find instructions for the following in this chapter:

■

Positioning the projector

Connecting to a computer

Connecting to video sources

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Positioning the Projector

Before connecting the projector, you

need to decide where to place it. If

you’re setting up the projector yourself

and it isn’t already installed in the

room you’re using, you’ll probably

want to place it on a table in front of

the screen, as shown.

This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and

remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to

leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to

get a good-size image.

note

You can download the

Projection Distance

Calculator program from

the Drivers and Downloads

section of Epson’s web site:

www.epson.com/support

Place the projector somewhere between 3 and 30 feet from the screen.

Use the figure below to help you determine exactly how far. Image size

increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you’ve

adjusted the optical zoom and other settings.

28 to 34 ft (4:3)

31 ft (16:9; wide only)

5.6 to 6.8 ft (4:3)

6.1 to 7.3 ft (16:9)

2.7 to 3 ft (4:3)

3 to 3.6 ft (16:9)

Also keep these considerations in mind:

■

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.

Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and

under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose

papers that could block the vents under the projector.

■

Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (2 meters) of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord.

16 Setting Up the Projector

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Try to place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen,

facing it toward the screen squarely. If the projector isn’t positioned

this way, the image will be “keystone” shaped, instead of square or

rectangular.

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll have to

tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot, as described on

page 39. This also causes the image to lose its rectangular shape. You

can adjust the shape using the buttons on the projector (see page 40),

or using the projector’s menu system (see page 49).

The Auto Keystone feature corrects the distortion automatically. See

page 57 for more information about Auto Keystone correction. If

necessary, you can adjust the image shape manually as described on

page 40.

Other Installations

You can also project from behind the screen or from the ceiling, with

the projector mounted upside-down:

Rear projection (using a

translucent screen)

Front/ceiling projection

Rear/ceiling projection (using

a translucent screen)

To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mount

hardware. (See page 13 for ordering information.) You’ll also need to

select Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling for the Projection option in the

Extended menu. To project from the rear, select Rear. See page 58 for

more information.

presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re

using a laptop); see page 21.

■

Connect the projector to your computer with a commercially

available audio cable to play computer audio; see page 22.

projection screen, you can connect an external monitor to the

projector. This lets you view images on your computer monitor while

Maintenance and

Transportation

Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a

regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may

show up on your projected image.

warning

Before you clean any part of

the projector, turn it off and

unplug the power cord.

Never open any cover on the

projector, except the lamp

and filter covers. Dangerous

electrical voltages in the

projector can injure you

severely. Do not try to service

this product yourself, except

as specifically explained in

this User’s Guide. Refer all

other servicing to qualified

service personnel.

You may need to clean the air filter and air vents. A clogged air filter

or air vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and

cause overheating.

The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any

other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.

Compatible Computer Display Formats

You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including

PCs and notebooks, Apple Macintosh, PowerPC and Intel Core

Macintosh computers, PowerBook computers, many iMac and iBook

series systems, and high-end workstations such as the Sun^®

SPARCstation.

Although images are displayed at the projector’s native resolution of

1024 × 768 pixels, Epson’s patented SizeWise chip supports computer

display formats ranging from VGA through UXGA.

To project images output from a computer, the computer’s external

monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that’s

compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible

formats. For best results, the computer’s resolution should be set to

match the projector’s native resolution (1024 × 768). If this resolution

isn’t available, select one of the other compatible formats:

■

Windows:

Right-click the desktop, select Properties, click the Settings tab,

and select a compatible resolution. (For a notebook displaying

through an external monitor port, you’ll need to click the

Advanced button on the Settings tab, then adjust the resolution

of the external monitor.)

■

Macintosh OS X:

From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click

Displays. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD dialog box

is selected, then click the Display tab and select a compatible

resolution.

You may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them

for a different resolution. See your software documentation for details.

Notices

This chapter includes safety instructions and other important information

about your Epson PowerLite projector.

Important Safety Instructions

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 use the projector near water or sources of heat.

Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you are not

sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.

■

Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily

unplugged.

Insert the projector’s two-prong plug into a properly grounded outlet.

Do not hold the plug with wet hands.

Take the following precautions for the plug. Failure to comply with

these precautions could result in sparks or fire: Do not insert the plug

into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.

■

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles. This can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may

result in fraying or damage to the plug.

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 openings in the projector case. They provide

ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate

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 the cabinet slots. Never spill

liquid of any kind into the projector.

Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and

other hazards.

Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cord

or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid has been spilled into the

projector, or if 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 lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your

state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put

in the trash.

■

heat-producing equipment or in a hot location.

If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it,

use the correct power cord for that country.

■

Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.

Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range of

41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and

could lead to projector damage.

■
