Important Information About Your

PowerLite 7000

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 PowerLite 7000 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.

Remote Control Information

You can operate the PowerLite 7000 by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and

rear of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:

❐There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the projector.

❐Ambient light is too bright.

❐Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.

❐A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.

❐Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room.

These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following solutions:

❐The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power; replace them.

❐Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.

❐Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight.

❐Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.

If the remote control still does not work properly, remember you can always control your computer-based presen-

tation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above.

Introduction

The compact, lightweight EPSON®PowerLite 7000 Projector allows

you to project XGA full-color images and video onto a large screen for

presentations. You can connect the projector simultaneously to three

image sources: two PC or Apple®Macintosh®computer image sources

plus one video source, such as a VCR or camcorder. You can also

connect audio for each image source.

Images are displayed in XGA compatible full color (16,770,000 colors)

at a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The projector produces bright

images that can be easily seen in rooms light enough to take notes. The

projector’s two speakers employ a built-in Spatializer 3D Sound

System for rich, powerful audio output. You can even connect an

external speaker when further amplification is required.

Introduction

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

A totally new, patent pending AVTSS system (Automatic Video

Tracking and Synchronization Sensing) provides automatic image

setup from a computer with a touch of a button, producing beautiful

images quickly and easily.

You control the projector through a hand-held remote control unit,

with menus provided for image source switching and image

adjustment. The remote control can also act as a wireless mouse to

control operations on your computer screen during presentations. The

projector’s ELP Link II software provides a number of add-on features

designed to make presentations more effective.

The projector also features a new patented SizeWise chip for support

of VGA and SXGA output. No matter what type of computer output

is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.

The PowerLite 7000 Projector supports IBM® compatible PCs and

laptops, as well as Apple®Macintosh,®Power Macintosh,™ and

PowerBook™ computers. The video source can be NTSC, PAL, or

SECAM in composite video or S-Video format.

Getting the Most Out of Your Projector

The PowerLite 7000 projector comes with a full set of features that

enable you to control the settings for the image display, video, and

audio. To get the most out of your projector, read this section for a

quick summary of the important features.

Getting the Most Out of Your Projector

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Remote Control

The buttons on the remote control enable you to turn the projector on

and off, and provide direct access to auto set up, blank, freeze, volume,

mute, and image source switching. Use the remote control buttons to

access custom functions (with the ELP Link II software) and the

projector’s menu system. You can even use the remote control to

control your computer in place of your computer’s mouse.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp

after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode,

the projector remains on but the lamp is turned off, conserving

electricity, cooling the projector, and extending the life of the lamp.

Control Panel

The control panel buttons on the projector duplicate the remote

control buttons and let you perform additional functions, such as

adjusting the tracking and sync for computer images.
