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.

Welcome 7

Welcome

The EPSON® PowerLite®8300i is a theater-grade projector that

offers up to 5200 ANSI lumens of brightness. Images are displayed at

a resolution of 1024 ×768 pixels, and the 1.4-inch LCD provides an

unprecedented 1200:1 contrast ratio (1500:1 in low-brightness mode)

for incredibly rich images. From auditoriums to conference rooms,

your full-color presentations will be vivid and clear even in bright

indoor environments.

Your projector includes these outstanding features:

■Connectivity

Your EPSON PowerLite projector can be connected to four

computer sources and five video sources (up to a total of six

sources at the same time). You can include an independent sound

channel for each of the six sources. A preview feature lets you see

all the sources at a glance, so you can easily switch between them.

■Complete control

Use the remote control to take charge of your presentation. Freeze

the action, zoom in on part of the picture, or display a

picture-in-picture video. Use the remote as a pointer, or to draw

on the screen. You can even use it in place of your computer’s

mouse to control your computer and change slides in

PowerPoint.

■EasyManagement

With the projector’s EasyManagement™system, you can use a

Windows®PC to remotely monitor and control the projector.

■EasyMP.net™ (optional; see page 12)

The optional EasyMP.net offers you a premium network solution:

web browsing, remote desktop client access, projection over an

802.11b wireless network, and storage of Microsoft®PowerPoint

slideshows on a memory card for computer-free presentations.
