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, 811p, and 820p are portable
projectors that weigh less than 10 pounds and offer up to 2500 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
811p and 820p) 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 EPSON’s patented SizeWise™ chip, the projector supports
computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA (or SXGA on
the PowerLite 600p). The projector also supports the Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) format.
You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including
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 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
include sound for up to three 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
or iBook, 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
Chapter 3.
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 41.
■Including sound in your presentation
If your presentation includes sound, you can connect the USB
cable or an optional audio cable to use the projector’s built-in
speakers. For details, see page 14 (for laptops) or Appendix A (for
other systems).

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 7.
■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 7.
■Some older PowerBooks and Macintosh desktop models may
need the Macintosh adapter set shown on page 89 (available from
EPSON; see page 7). 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 doesn’t have a USB
port, you’ll need a Macintosh mouse cable. If your PC doesn’t
have a USB or PS/2 port, you’ll need a PC serial mouse cable. See
your projector dealer to obtain the correct cable.
■To take advantage of the projector’s Digital Visual Interface, you
need a DVI cable, and your computer must be capable of
producing video signals in DVI format (for details, see page 93).
You can purchase this cable from EPSON; see page 7.
■To receive an audio signal, you may need a stereo mini-jack cable,
available from most electronics dealers.

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.
You’ll 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 27 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.

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 iBooks, and hand-held
devices.
Connecting the Computer Cable
Before you start, make sure your computer and the projector are
turned off.
1. Connect one end of the computer cable to the projector’s
Computer2/Component Video port.
2. Connect the other end of the computer cable to your laptop’s
video-out or monitor port.
If you’re using a PowerBook and you can’t connect the cable, you
may need to use the Macintosh desktop adapter as shown on
