Displaying and Adjusting  
the Image  
Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment,  
you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the  
screen.  
Follow the guidelines in this chapter for:  
Positioning the projector  
Turning the projector on and selecting the image source  
Troubleshooting display problems  
Adjusting the image  
Turning off the projector

Positioning the Projector  
note  
You can mount the projector  
on the ceiling, or place it  
behind a translucent screen  
for rear projection. See  
page 81 for details.  
If the projector 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.  
Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image size  
increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position  
the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other  
settings.  
TBD  
33.1 to 39.7 ft  
6.6 to 7.9 ft  
3.2 to 3.9 ft  
Distance from screen  
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 anything  
that could block the vents under the projector.  
Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical  
outlet or extension cord.  
14 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of  
the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens  
should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.  
note  
After positioning the  
connect a Kensington  
MicroSaver® anti-theft  
device to the lock port on the  
projector’s left side. You can  
purchase this from Epson;  
see page 11.  
Projector  
Screen  
If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by  
extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become  
“keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the  
buttons on the projector. See page 22 for detailed information about  
correcting the image shape.  
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location,  
such as a theater or conference room, see page 81.

Projecting the Image  
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up as described  
on page 35. Then follow the instructions below to start the projector  
and display an image.  
Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before starting  
the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image  
source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of  
connected equipment, you may have to select the image source  
manually (see page 17).  
note  
To shut down the projector,  
see page 24. Shutting down  
the projector correctly  
prevents premature lamp  
failure and possible damage  
from overheating.  
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:  
1. Remove the lens cap.  
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other  
end into an electrical outlet.  
The Power light comes on.

3. Press the red PPower button on the remote control or on top of  
the projector.  
warning  
The projector beeps once and the Power light flashes green as the  
projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the  
Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is  
ready for use.  
Never look into the lens  
when the lamp is on. This  
can damage your eyes, and is  
especially dangerous for  
children.  
4. If you’ve connected a Windows®-based computer to the  
projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard screen saying  
your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click  
Cancel.  
5. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 52.  
Selecting the Image Source  
note  
Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from  
different pieces of connected equipment (such as a computer or DVD  
player).  
To focus and adjust the  
image, see page 21. If a  
projected image fails to  
appear, see page 18 for help.  
If you don’t see the image you want, press the Source Search button  
on the projector or the Search button on the remote control until  
you see the image you want to project.  
You can also use the Source buttons on the remote control to switch  
between devices connected to the ports identified on each button. The  
TM  
PowerLite 740c does not support EasyMP.

Troubleshooting Display Problems  
Follow these guidelines if you’re having trouble displaying an image.  
You Can’t Project an Image  
If you don’t see the image you are trying to project, try the following:  
Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described  
beginning on page 35.  
Make sure the Power light is green and not flashing and the lens  
cap is off.  
If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video source,  
you may need to press the Source Search button on the  
projector’s control panel or Search button on the remote control  
to select the correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector  
to sync up after pressing the button.)  
If you’re using a PC notebook, press the function key on your  
keyboard that lets you display on an external monitor. It may be  
labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as  
. You may have to  
hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for  
the projector to sync up after changing the setting.  
The Projector and Notebook Don’t Display the  
Same Image  
If you’re projecting from a notebook, and you can’t see your image on  
the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow  
these guidelines.  
If you’re using a PC notebook:  
On most systems, there’s a function key that lets you toggle  
between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at  
the same time. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as  
. You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it.  
Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing  
the setting.

If the function key doesn’t permit you to display simultaneously  
on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make  
sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are  
enabled.  
From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display  
Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click  
Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by  
brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the  
external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or  
enabled. See your computer’s documentation or online help for  
details.  
If you’re using Macintosh OS X:  
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 System Preferences, then select  
Displays.  
2. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD dialog box is selected.  
3. Click the Arrangement (or Arrange) tab.

Adjusting the Image  
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:  
If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See  
below.  
To focus or zoom your image, see page 22.  
If the image isn’t square, see page 22.  
If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 24.  
If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see Chapter 4.  
Adjusting the Height of Your Image  
If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable  
foot to raise it.  
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the blue foot release lever up  
and lift the front of the projector.  
2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever  
to lock the foot in position.  
3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image by  
turning the projector’s rear foot.  
Projector rear foot

Focusing and Zooming Your Image  
Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.  
Turn the zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the image.  
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the  
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the E-Zoom  
buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image.  
See page 31 for instructions.  
Adjusting the Image Shape  
In most cases, you can maintain a square or rectangular image by  
placing the projector directly in front of the center of the screen with  
the base of the lens level with the bottom of the screen.  
Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 30° up or  
down), the projector has an automatic keystone correction function  
that detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.  
Projector tilted up

Projector tilted down  
It takes about one second after projection starts for the image to be  
corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone correction gauge  
appears on the screen.

Controlling the Picture and Sound  
You can use the remote control to preview and select your picture  
sources, temporarily turn off the picture and sound, freeze the action,  
zoom in on the picture, and adjust the volume.  
Switching Between Picture Sources  
If your projector is connected to more than one computer and/or  
video source, you can switch between the different sources:  
The easiest way to select your source is to press the Search button  
on the remote control (or the Source Search button on the  
projector) repeatedly until you see the image you want on the  
screen.  
On the remote control, there are four Source buttons. Use them  
to switch between equipment connected to the port identified on  
each button.  
After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the

You can use the A/V Mute button on the remote control to turn off  
the image and sound. This feature is useful if you want to temporarily  
redirect your audience’s attention.  
To turn off the picture, press the A/V Mute button. The screen  
turns blue.  
To turn the image back on, press the button again.  
You can have the screen turn black when you press the A/V Mute  
button. You can also have an image, such as a company logo, display  
on the screen (see page 55).

Resizing Video images  
You can use the Resize button on the remote control to adjust how  
an image fits into the display area.  
For video images, press Resize to switch the aspect ratio between 4:3  
and 16:9. This lets you play certain digital video images or movies  
recorded on certain DVDs in 16:9 widescreen format.  
For computer images, resizing is normally unnecessary, since the  
projector automatically resizes the image to make the best use of the  
display area. If you press the Resize button on the projector or remote  
control, the projector displays the image at the output resolution of  
the computer (which makes the image larger or smaller, depending on  
its resolution). If the resolution of the image is the same as the  
projector’s (1024 × 768), pressing Resize has no effect.  
Adjusting the Color Mode  
You can use the Color Mode button on the remote control to adjust  
the vividness of your image.  
Press the button repeatedly to select from the following six settings:  
sRGB: To match the color palette of the sRGB standard for  
computer displays  
Blackboard: To adjust the white point so that colors appear  
natural when projecting on a green chalkboard

when projecting from non-computer sources)  
Presentation: To optimize the image for computer presentations  
(the default when projecting from a computer)  
Theatre: To optimize movie images for increased contrast  
Living Room: To increase brightness when projecting TV or  
video images in brightly lit rooms (best for videos)

Using the Projector Security Features  
To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can do the  
following:  
Assign a password; this can be disabled for a set period if you want  
to loan the projector to someone.  
Create an identifying user logo that is displayed at startup and/or  
when the A/V Mute button is pressed. See page 55.  
Disable the projector’s buttons; this is useful, for example, if  
you’re projecting in a classroom and you want to ensure that no  
one touches the projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote  
control. See page 57.  
If you create a user’s logo for the projector, you can set up the logo so  
it is displayed as the startup screen and/or AV/Mute screen.  
Unauthorized users cannot turn it off or change it. This feature is  
intended to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the  
projector should it be stolen.  
Enabling Password Protection  
To prevent unauthorized use, you can assign the projector a password.  
If you do, a screen will appear requesting the password whenever the  
projector is plugged in and turned on. If an incorrect password is  
entered three times in succession, the projector’s operation is locked  
and the power cord must be disconnected and reinserted to redisplay  
the password screen. If an incorrect password is entered thirty times in  
succession, the user must contact Epson to unlock the projector.  
note  
It’s a good idea to write  
down your password.

Maintaining the Projector  
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do is keep  
the lens clean and periodically clean the air filters at the side and  
bottom of the projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation  
needed to cool the projector.  
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  
cover. 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.  
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.

Projector Installation  
This appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a  
permanent location, such as a theater or conference room.  
The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front  
projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection onto a semi-transparent  
screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:  
Front projection  
Rear projection  
Ceiling mounting  
Rear/ceiling projection  
To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting  
hardware; see page 11 for ordering information. You’ll also need to  
select Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling as the Projection option of the  
projector’s Extended menu to flip the image upside-down. To project  
from the rear, onto a semi-transparent screen, select Rear or  
Rear/Ceiling (see page 58).  
81  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above  
screen level, you’ll have to tilt the projector down to position the  
image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape.  
You can correct the distortion using the Keystone function in the  
projector’s menu system (see page 51).  
If you place the projector so that the base of the lens is level with the  
bottom of the screen, the image should be square and you won’t have  
to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the bottom of the screen,  
you’ll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole  
screen with the image.

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty  
Basic Two-Year Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Warranty  
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original  
retail purchaser of the Epson product enclosed with this limited warranty  
statement that the product, if purchased new and operated in the United  
States or Canada, conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications and will be  
free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years  
from the date of original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90 days

of original purchase.  
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If you elect carry-in warranty  
service, please bring the product securely packaged in its original container or  
an equivalent, along with proof of the date of original purchase, to your  
Epson Dealer or Epson Customer Care Center. Epson will, at its option,  
repair or replace on an exchange basis the defective unit, without charge for  
parts or labor. When warranty service involves the exchange of the product or  
of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The exchanged product  
or part may be new or previously refurbished to the Epson standard of  
quality, and at Epson’s option, the replacement may be another model of like  
kind and quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered product will  
not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product. Exchange  
or replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty period of
