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 EPSON® PowerLite® 600p, 800p, and 810p are portable
projectors that weigh less than 10 pounds and offer up to 2000 ANSI
lumens of brightness. From classrooms 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
800p and 810p) or 800 600 pixels (PowerLite 600p). The 0.9-inch ×
LCD provides a high contrast ratio for incredibly vivid images and
clear text. Improved color processing technology reduces video noise
for rich, saturated images, while 5-watt amplified sound and
whisper-quiet operation contribute to theater-quality video.
With EPSONs patented SizeWise chip, the projector supports
computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA (or SXGA on
the PowerLite 600p). 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).
Support for USB audio and new horizontal keystone control
contribute to ease of setup in a wide variety of environments.
2Welcome
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

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

30 feet away. For more information, see page 39.
Including sound in your presentation
If your presentation includes sound, you can connect the USB
cable or an optional audio cable to use the projectors built-in

Additional Components
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you may need
additional components:
To receive an S-Video signal, you need an S-Video cable. (One is
usually provided with your video device.)
To receive a component video signal from a VCR or other video
device, you need a VGA-to-component video cable. You can
purchase this from EPSON; see page 8.
To connect two computers to the projector at the same time, you
need a DVI/analog interface cable. You can purchase this from
EPSON; see page 8.
Some older PowerBooks and Macintosh desktop models may

EPSON; see page 8). Older iMac systems may need a special
adapter to provide a VGA output port; see your computer dealer.
Some systems may need an additional cable to use the remote
control as a wireless mouse. If your Macintosh doesnt have a USB
port, youll need a Macintosh mouse cable. If your PC doesnt
have a USB or PS/2 port, youll need a PC serial mouse cable. See
your projector dealer to obtain the correct cable.
To take advantage of the projectors Digital Visual Interface, you
need a DVI cable, and your computer must be capable of

Setting Up the Projector 9
Setting Up the Projector
This chapter tells you how to set up the projector for a laptop
computer or video presentation. If you need to set up the projector for
a permanent installation or connect it to a desktop or workstation
computer, see Appendix A.
Youll find instructions for the following in this chapter:
Positioning the projector
Connecting to a laptop computer
Connecting to video sources
10 Setting Up the Projector
Positioning the Projector
Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to place it.
The location you choose depends on the size of the room and what
you are projecting.
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, approximately
2.85 to 41 feet from the screen.
Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector.
Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical
outlet or extension cord, and within 5 feet of your computer
and/or video source.
Place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen,
facing it toward the screen squarely.
Most presenters find it convenient to place the projector in front of
the audience, leaving as much space as possible between the projector
and the screen to get a good-sized image. This lets the presenter stand
in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough
to the equipment to be able to control it.
Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how far
from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally increases
with distance, but may vary depending on how you position the zoom
ring and whether you have adjusted the image size with other settings.
note
It’s easier to position the
p
rojector when the screen is
directly in front of the room.
However, if you need to place
it off-center, you can use the
keystone correction feature to
maintain a square image. See
p
age 26 for more
information.
3 to 4 ft6 to 8 ft30 to 41 ft distance from screen
Setting Up the Projector11
If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll have to
tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the projector upward
causes the image to lose its square shape, but you can correct the
distortion by pressing the
Keystone button as described in the next
chapter.
If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen, the
image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place the
projector higher than the bottom of the screen, the image will still be
square, but you won’t be able to fill the whole screen with the image.

note
After positioning the
projector, you may want to
connect a Kensington

device to the lock port on the
projector’s left side. You can
purchase this from EPSON;
see “Optional Accessories” on
page 8
.
12 Setting Up the Projector
Connecting to a Laptop Computer
You can connect the PowerLite projector to any computer that has a
standard video output (monitor) port, including PC notebook and
laptop computers, Macintosh PowerBooks, and hand-held devices.
Connecting the Computer Cable
Before you start, make sure your computer and the projector are

to the projector:
When shipping the projector for repairs, use the original
packaging material if possible. If you do not have the original
packaging, use equivalent materials, placing plenty of cushioning
around the projector.
When transporting the projector a long distance, first put it in a
carrying case (such as an optional EPSON case), then pack it in a
firm box, using cushioning around the case.
If you want to store the remote control inside the projector’s
carrying case, be sure to turn it off using the switch on its side.
This prevents the batteries from discharging if something presses
against one of the buttons.
When you are hand-carrying the projector, use the carrying
handle.

82 Appendix A: Connecting to Additional Equipment
Installing the Projector
The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front
projection, ceiling mounting, rear projection onto a semi-transparent
screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:
To project from overhead, you’ll need to select
Ceiling in the
projector’s Advanced menu. To project from the rear, select
Rear
Proj . See “Setting Advanced Features” on page 55.
If you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above
screen level, you’ll have to tilt it down to position the image on-screen.
This causes the image to lose its square shape. You can then correct
the distortion by using the
V Keystone function in the projector’s
menu system (see “Customizing Projector Features” on page 53) or by
using the Keystone buttons on the projector’s control panel.
If you place the projector’s lens so it’s level with the top of the screen,
the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If you place
the lens lower than the top of the screen, you’ll have to tilt the
projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.

Connecting to an External Audio System
The projector’s internal speakers are loud enough for most rooms.
However, if your installation requires maximum volume and sound
quality, you can connect the projector to external speakers or a public
address (PA) system. This disables the projector’s internal speakers.
If you’ve connected multiple audio and video sources to the projector,
the projector will automatically switch the audio along with the video
source whenever you choose a different video source. (See “Switching
Between Picture Sources” on page 28 or page 33.)
To connect the projector to an external sound system, you will need
an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable, which may be included with
your sound system, or may be purchased from an electronics store.
Before you start, make sure the projector and speakers or PA system
are turned off.
