Take note of the following advice in order to prevent malfunction and damage.

Use and store this unit within the operating tem-

perature range and storage temperature range

as specified in this manual.

Do not install the unit in a place prone to vibra-

tion or shock.

Do not install the unit close to television, radio or

video equipment that generates magnetic fields.

This may have a negative effect when projecting the

playback of audio and video with this unit, and may

cause this unit to malfunction. In the event that such

symptoms occur, move the unit further away from

any television, radio and video equipment.

Do not install this machine on an incline.

Do not move this unit during playback.

This may damage the disc or cause malfunction.

Avoid using or storing this unit in cigarette or

other smoke filled places, or in rooms containing

a large amount of dust.

This may cause degradation of the image quality.

Do not touch the projection lens with your bare

hands.

If fingerprints or marks are left on the face of the

lens, the image will not be projected clearly. Make

sure the lens cover is securely in place when not in

use.

Epson will not be held responsible for damage

arising from projector or lamp failure outside the

range of that which is covered in your warranty

terms.

If you move this unit from a cold place into a warm

room, or, if the room in which this unit is installed is

heated rapidly, condensation (moisture) may form

internally or on the lens surface. If condensation forms,

it may not only cause incorrect operation such as weak-

ening of the image, but also damage the disc and/or

parts. In order to prevent against condensation, set up

this unit in the room approximately one hour before it

is to be used. If by some chance condensation does

form, turn on the main power switch then wait 1-2

hours before use. Do not use the lamp during this time.

This product includes a lamp component that contains

mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations

regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

MovieMate uses a mercury lamp with a high internal

pressure as its light source. Mercury lamps have the

following characteristics.
• Lamp brightness decreases once the rated lamp usage

time has passed.

• When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it may enter

a state where it will no longer light, or it may explode

with a loud noise due to impact, deterioration, or the

expiration of its usage time.

• Depending on the individual difference of each lamp

and the conditions of use, there is a considerable

difference in the time it takes for the lamp to reach the

end of its life. Make sure you have a replacement lamp

available.

• The potential for the lamp to explode increases once

the lamp usage time has been exceeded.

When the lamp replacement message appears,

promptly replace the lamp with a new one.

• Although the liquid crystal panel is made using very

precise high technology, you may see some black

pixels, or pixels that are always lit red, blue, or

green.You may also be able to see lines with irregular

brightness or color.

These are normal characteristics of liquid crystal

panels, and are not indicative of any malfunction. Be

aware of this fact.
