Projector Features
The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily
obtain optimum images simply by selecting a Colour mode.
In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in
places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow
images to be projected in their natural tints.

• Living Room sRGBg • Blackboard
The projector is compact B5 size (19.3 (D) × 27.6 (W) × 7 (H) cm) and
lightweight (EMP-745/737 : approx. 1.8 kg, EMP-740/732 : approx. 1.7 kg).
Easy to carry it with the included Soft carrying case which has a pocket to
put cables and other accessories.
Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions
with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in
bright environments.
The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings.
Fine and clear images can be obtained even in a bright room like a
conference room and a classroom.
If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are
too bright, change the setting to "Low".
The advantages of the "Low" setting are
• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%
• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 12%
• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life
sp.62
The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone
distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. sp.41
Automatically detects images input from connected equipment. You can
switch between the images with just a single touch of a button. sp.37

The accessory remote control can be used to carry out operations such as
pausing projection (Freeze function sp.51), zooming in on important parts
of images (E-Zoom function sp.52) and pointing out important parts of
images using a pointer icon (Pointer function sp.53).
In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the
computer screen during projection (Wireless Mouse Function sp.22).
You can make the projector turn on and be ready to project images simply by
connecting the power cable. You can also turn the power on for projectors in
places such as meeting rooms where the power is centrally controlled,
simply by turning the power on at the central control point.

This function locks the buttons on the projector's control panel.
This function is useful at times such as during shows and exhibitions, or in
places such as schools to limit the range of buttons that can be used. sp.54
Password protection function allows you to limit the use of the projector.
This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without
authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature. sp.31

Connecting to a Computer
Eligible Computers
The method for connecting the projector to a computer using a cable is
explained here.
If using an EMP-745/737, see the EasyMP Network Setup Guide for
information on how to connect to a computer over a network.
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or
projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is
possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the
conditions given below.
Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.
Check that the computer has a port such as an "RGB port", "monitor port"
or "CRT port" which can output image signals.
If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it
may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or
alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port.
Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as
"Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.
Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer
must be listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays".
s"Appendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays" p.115.
Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if
necessary, change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the "List
of Supported Monitor Displays", while referring to the documentation
provided with the computer.
CAUTION
When connecting the projector to a computer, make sure you check
the following.
Turn the power off for both the projector and the computer before
connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of
connection, damage may result.
Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before
making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device
port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the
connector or port may result.
Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the
power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image
interference or errors in operation may result.
TIP
You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the
shape of the computer's port. Refer to the documentation provided
with the computer for further details.

If you tilt the projector up, keystone distortion will occur in the projected
screen. However, the projector is equipped with an automatic keystone
correction function that can automatically correct this keystone distortion
on the screen. Automatic keystone correction is carried out approximately
one second after the projector is tilted vertically while the power is on.
Keystone distortion can be corrected automatically as long as the vertical
angle of tilt is within a range of approximately 30º *.
* • This value applies when the zoom ring is turned to the maximum "T"
setting. If the zoom ring is turned to the "W" setting, the available angle
of tilt for automatic adjustment will be less.
• If the angle of tilt is large, it will become more difficult to adjust the
focus correctly. In order to obtain better picture quality, set the projector
up so that the angle of tilt is small.

Adjusting the Image Quality
The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows.
Adjusting Computer Images and RGB Video Images
Automatic setup detects analogue RGB signals coming from a connected
computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum
images can be obtained.
Automatic setup involves adjustment of the following three items:
Trackingg, Position and Sync (synchronisation)g.
Automatic Setup
TIP
If "Auto Setup" in the "Signal" menu is set to "OFF" (the default
setting for this item is "ON"), automatic setup is not carried out. In
this case, press the [Auto] button on the remote control or the [Enter]
button on the projector's control panel to make the adjustment while
computer or RGB video images are being projected.
When you press the [Auto] button, the screen will turn to solid black
colour for a moment and then return to a previous image. The auto
adjustment is still in progress even after returning to the previous
image. Wait about 3 seconds before pressing any other buttons.
If you press the [Auto] button while the E-Zoom function or Freeze
function is activating, the auto adjustment will start after canceling
those functions.
Sometimes the signals may not be adjusted correctly depending on
the type of computer or RGB video signals being output. In such
cases, use the configuration menu commands to adjust the tracking
and sync settings manually.

Selecting the Projection Quality
(Colour Mode Selection)
The following six preset colour modes are available for use depending on
the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily
obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that
corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will
vary depending on which colour mode is selected.
The default setting for the colour mode is as follows.

Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and
replacing consumable parts.
Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of
projected images starts to deteriorate.
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.
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to
gently wipe the lens.
If dust collects on the air filter or the air outlet, it can cause the internal
temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with
operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life.
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three
months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in
particularly dusty environments.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Cleaning the Lens
CAUTION
Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty
Terms before cleaning.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks,
as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the Air Filters and Air Intake Vent
TIP
If the air filters are broken or if the warning message reappears after
they have been cleaned, they should be replaced. Replace with a new
air filter. See "Replacing the Air Filter".

Glossary
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.
5BNC A port used to input analogue video signals.
Abs. Color Temp. The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the absolute colour temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a
bluish tinge. If the absolute colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.
Ad hoc mode A method of wireless LAN connection that communicates with wireless LAN clients without using an access point.
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.
Authentication server This is a server that centrally manages user authentication. By using an authentication server, management of user information
and user authentication tasks can be centralised. In addition, many authentication servers use high-level authentication
methods and so they also tend to be highly secure.
CCX Abbreviation for Cisco Compatible Extensions. This is a security technology for wireless LANs developed by Cisco Systems,
Inc. It uses RADIUS serverg for authentication. Several authentication methods are available for CCX, and this projector uses
LEAPg authentication.
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".
Cool-down This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. Cool-down is carried out
automatically when the [Power] button is pressed to turn off the power. Do not disconnect the power cable while cool-down is
in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally,
the projector's lamp and internal components will remain at high temperatures, and this may shorten the operating life of the
lamp or cause problems with the operation of the projector.
DHCP Abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address to a computer
connected to a network.

Interlaced scanning 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.
IP Address A series of numbers that identifies a device that is connected to a network.
LEAP One of the authentication methods used by CCXg. It uses usernames and passwords for authentication without using
electronic signatures.
MAC address MAC is an abbreviation of Media Access Control. The MAC address is an ID number unique to each network card. A unique
number is assigned to each network card. Data is transmitted between cards (devices) based on this identification.
Progressive scanning 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.
RADIUS server RADIUS is an abbreviation for Remote Authentication Dialin User Service. It is a protocol that is used for authenticating
transmissions for a variety of network servers including wireless LANs. A RADIUS server is an authentication serverg that
stores information such as usernames and passwords and concentrates functions such as authenticating access to wireless
LAN access points. By using a RADIUS server, access points and user information can be centrally managed without needing
to store user information separately at each access point when there are several access points on a wireless LAN.
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).
Resize display This function is used to allow images that have a resolution more than or less than the projector's panel resolution to be
projected so that they fill the whole of the projection area.

SNMP This is an abbreviation of Simple Network Management Protocol. It is a protocol in a TCP/IP network for monitoring and
controlling communication devices on the network, such as routers, computers, and terminals across the network.
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.

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.
TKIP Abbreviation for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. This is an encoding method used for WPAg. The encryption key is
renewed after a certain period of time to make it harder to break the encryption code.
Tra ck i ng 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.

List of ESC/VP21 Commands
Command List
When a power on command is sent to the projector, the power will turn on
and the projector will change to warm-up mode. When the power has
turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) will be returned.
When the projector executes a command, it returns a ":" and waits for the
next command to be sent.
If command processing terminates with an error, the projector outputs an
error message and then returns the ":" code.
* When issuing any of the above commands, tack a Carriage Return (CR)
code (0Dh) on to the end.
