Epson PowerLite 76c Projector
9/05 Epson PowerLite 76c Projector - 3
Compatible Computer Display Formats
To project images from a computer, set the computer’s video
card at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) compatible with the
projector; see the following table for compatible formats. Some
images are automatically resized to display in the projector’s
“native” format (XGA). The frequencies of some computers
may not allow images to display correctly; see your computer’s
documentation for details.
* The image is resized using Epson’s SizeWise™ Technology.
Positioning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
3 and 35 feet from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord and within
5 feet (1.5 meters) of the image source.
❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.
The projector supports 4 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is
installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the
correct projection option from the Extended menu after you
turn it on.
If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need
to adjust the image shape. See page 7.
