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

Welcome 1

Welcome

The EPSON®PowerLite®5600p and PowerLite 7600p are portable

projectors offering 2200 ANSI lumens of brightness. From

boardrooms to auditoriums, your full-color presentations and videos

will be bright and visible even in ordinary room lighting.

Images are displayed at a resolution of 1024 ×768 pixels (PowerLite

7600p) or 800 ×600 pixels (PowerLite 5600p). The 1.3-inch LCD

provides a high contrast ratio for incredibly vivid images and clear

text. Improved video processing reduces “color noise”for rich,

saturated images, while reduced light leakage and whisper-quiet

operation contribute to theater-quality video.

With EPSON’s patented SizeWise™chip, the projector supports

computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA (or SXGA on

the PowerLite 5600p). The projector also supports the new Digital

Visual Interface (DVI) format.

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

IBM®compatible PCs and laptops, Apple®Macintosh,

Power

Macintosh™series (including G3 and G4 systems), PowerBook®

computers, many iMac™and iBook™series systems, and high-end

workstations such as the Sun®SPARCstation.

™

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

camcorder, digital camera, or laser disc player. The projector supports

composite video, S-Video, and component video, and it automatically

senses the video format (HDTV, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM).

Getting the Most from Your Projector

Your EPSON PowerLite projector is a highly versatile presentation

tool. You can connect it to one or two computer sources and up to

three video sources and easily switch between them. You can also

include sound for up to two of the sources.

Depending on your presentation, you can take advantage of any or all

of these options:

■Connecting to a laptop or other computer

If you want to connect to a PC laptop or Macintosh PowerBook,

see page 12. To connect to a desktop computer, a workstation, a

computer that outputs video in Digital Visual Interface (DVI)

format, or more than one computer, see Appendix A.

■Connecting to video sources

You can connect a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, laser disc

player, digital camera, or any other video source to your projector.

You can connect up to three video sources at the same time (with

or without a computer) and easily switch between them.

See page 15 for instructions.

■Using the remote control

The remote control lets you switch from one computer or video

source to another, with access to picture-in-picture, pointer,

zoom, and many other projector features. For details, see “Using

the Remote Control”on page 31.

By connecting an additional cable, you can also use the remote

control as a wireless mouse. This lets you click through

slideshow-style presentations (such as PowerPoint®) from up to

30 feet away. For more information, see page 40.

■Including sound in your presentation

If your presentation includes sound, you can connect an audio

cable to use the projector’s built-in stereo speakers. For details, see

page 14 (for laptops) or Appendix A (for other systems).

If you’re permanently installing the projector, you may wish to

connect external speakers or a public address system to the

projector’s Audio Out port; see page 79.

note

You can connect a maximum

of four sources at the same

time.
