2 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. Copyright Notice All rights reserved.

7 - Welcome The Epson® PowerLite® 61p and 81p are ultra-portable projectors that 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 indoor lighting. Additionally, the projector’s built-in amplifier and speaker deliver powerful 5 watt audio, making it perfect for presentations in large rooms. Images are displayed at a native resolution of 800 × 600 pixels (PowerLite 61p) or 1024 × 768 pixels (PowerLite 81p). Three 0.7-inch LCDs deliver accurate color, superior color saturation, and incredibly vivid images and clear text. Support for S-video contributes to theater-quality performance. You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including IBM ®-compatible PCs and laptops, Apple® Macintosh,® Power Macintosh ® series (including G3, G4, and G5 systems), PowerBook® computers, and many iMac ® and iBook® series systems. With Epson’s patented SizeWise ™ technology, the projector supports computer displays ranging from VGA through UXGA. You can use any of the following video sources: HDTV, VCR, DVD player, gaming console (such as Microsoft ® Xbox,™ Sony® PlayStation ® 2, and Nintendo GameCube™), camcorder, digital camera, or laser disc player. The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats. You can connect up to four devices to the projector at the same time. The source buttons let you easily switch among them, and a dedicated audio port for each source lets you switch sound as well as video. 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.
8WelcomeTo 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 the Operation Lock feature. For more information about security features, see page 62. 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 16. For additional presentation control, you can connect the USB cable to the projector for running slide shows, and 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, laser disc player, digital camera, and other video sources to your projector. See page 22 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. By connecting the USB mouse cable included with your projector, you can also use the remote control as a wireless mouse. This lets you click through computer-based presentations (such as PowerPoint ®) from up to 20 feet away. For more information, see page 47. ■Including sound in your presentation If your presentation includes sound, you can connect the audio cable that came with your projector to use the projector’s built-in speaker. See page 21.
