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

children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by

the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

Welcome

The PowerLite®400W is a portable, short-throw projector that

weighs less than 8 pounds (3.6 kg) and offers 1800 ANSI lumens 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 1280 × 800 pixels

(WXGA) in a wide-screen 16:10 aspect ratio. Epson®3LCD

technology ensures accurate color and remarkable saturation, even in

well-lit rooms.

The projector’s ground-breaking short-throw lens is ideal for wall

mounting, allowing more space for your class or audience with no

shadow cast by the presenter. It can be placed as close as 21 inches

(54 cm) from a screen, an interactive whiteboard (IWB), or another

projection surface. And its powerful 10 W speaker and crisp 500:1

contrast ratio ensure your presentations are seen and heard at their

best.

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

IBM®-compatible PCs and laptops, Apple®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 WSXGA+. 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

(Windows®only).

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.

8Welcome

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.

To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can assign a

password, create a user logo which is displayed at startup to identify

the projector, and disable the projector’s buttons through a full or

partial Control Panel Lock feature. For more information about

security features, see page 66.

Getting the Most from Your Projector

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 the projector to a laptop or desktop

computer, see page 20. For additional presentation control, you

can connect an external monitor to view the presentation on your

computer simultaneously.

■Connecting to video sources

You can connect a DVD player, VCR, HDTV, camcorder, digital

camera, and other video sources to your projector. See page 26 for

instructions.

■Using the remote control

The remote control lets you switch from computer to video

sources, zoom in on part of your image, freeze or mute the

presentation, and adjust many other projector features. For

details, see Chapter 3.

■Enhancing sound in your presentation

By connecting your projector to external speakers, you can

enhance the audio impact of your presentations. (The internal

10 W speaker provides powerful sound, but is disabled when you

connect external speakers.) See page 25 for details.
