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.

Glossary 66
The following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which are not explained in the text of this guide itself. Further
information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-available publications.
Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The
aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.
Color Temp. The temperature of an object that is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours take on a bluish tinge. If the
colour temperature is lower, the colours take on a reddish tinge.
Component video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals separated, in order to provide better image quality.
In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb
and Pr (colour difference signals).
Composite video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used
by household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats).
The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal which are contained in the colour bar are overlapped to
form a single signal.
Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and
graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called
"contrast adjustment".
Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two speakers. Dolby
Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
EMP Link 21L A utility software program that allows the projector to be connected to a computer so that the computer can be used to control
the projector. For details on acquiring the software and for instructions on using the software and compatible projector
models, go to http://www.epson.com and select the Support section of your local EPSON website.
HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
•Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressiveg, i = interlacedg)
•Screen aspect ratiog of 16:9
•Dolby Digitalg audio reception and playback (or output)
Interlaced A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence
starting from left to right and then from the top to the bottom of the screen. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines
are displayed alternately.
Progressive A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create
a single image.
Refresh rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this,
the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh
operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions
for High-Definition Television.
Glossary 67
Security lock A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed
through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System
manufactured by Kensington.
Squeeze mode In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the
recording medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.
sRGB An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment
can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has a sRGB mode, set
both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.
SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
S-Video A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated in order to provide better image quality.
It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (colour signal).
SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) × 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
Sync (synchronisation) The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not
match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals
(the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronized,
problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
Tracking The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not
match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these
signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will
appear in the projected images.
USB An abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. USB is an interface for connecting personal computers to peripheral devices which
only support relatively low data transmission speeds.
VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
