Features
3LCD, 3-chip Technology: The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema
705HD features 3LCD, 3-chip technology to give you rich, vibrant images for
enjoying spectacular movies, games, and sporting events in your home, or to
deliver sizzling business presentations at the office. This technology requires
25% less electricity per lumen of brightness when compared to 1-chip DLP
projectors.
Projection Lamp: The projector uses an energy-efficient
E-TORL 200-watt Ultra High Efficiency (UHE) lamp with a life span of
approximately 4000 hours in the Normal Mode. In the ECO mode, the life span is
increased to approximately 5000 hours. The lamp (Part # V13H010L54) and air
filter (Part # V13H134A25) are the only user-serviceable parts.
Light Output: In the normal mode, the 705HD outputs 2500
lumens of white light and 2500 lumens of color light for bright, balanced
colorful images. In the ECO mode, the light output is 1960 lumens each for white
and color light. The white light output is measured using ISO 21118, a more
rigid standard than the ANSI lumens rating used by many competitors. The
projector is capable of a contrast ratio up to 3000:1 (Dynamic Color mode,
Normal Power Consumption, Auto Iris on)
Native Resolution/Resizing: The Home Cinema 705HD has a
native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (16:10 aspect ratio), and is capable of
720p High Definition performance for your movies, games, and other HD sources.
You can resize your images by changing the aspect ratio to one of the following
options:
- Auto (HDMI images only): Automatically sets the best aspect ratio
according to the input signal.
- Normal (Computer/Component port only): Displays images using the
full projection area and maintains the aspect ratio of the image.
- 16:9: Converts the aspect ratio of the image to 16:9. 4:3 ratio
images are elongated horizontally to fit.
- Zoom: Displays images using the full width of the projection area
and maintains the aspect ratio of the image. The image may be cut off on the
top and bottom, depending upon its aspect ratio.
- Full: Displays images using the full width of the projection
area, but does not retain the aspect ratio. 4:3 ratio images are elongated
horizontally.
- Native: Displays images as is (aspect ratio and resolution are
maintained). Black bands may appear or images may be cut off, depending upon
the resolution.
Multiple Sources: The 705HD has inputs for multiple sources
to give you lots of choices. For connecting to your video equipment, the unit
features one HDMI input, a component video input (requires supplied
VGA-to-component adapter), an S-Video input and a composite video input (a stereo RCA input is provided for the component, S-Video, and composite video inputs). The
projector also has a USB Type A port for connecting a digital camera, a USB
flash drive, or other types of USB devices. You can also connect your computer
to the projector via the VGA input and stereo RCA input. (The Type B USB port is for service only.)
Built-in Speaker: The projector features a built-in speaker
with volume control on the unit and the remote control. This allows you to
listen to the audio from your selected source without having to turn on your
entire sound system. The speaker is powered by a 1-watt monaural amplifier.
Color Modes: The Home Cinema 705HD offers four color modes
to optimize viewing for different environments and image content. The Color Mode
adjusts the brightness, contrast, and color for the best possible picture. You
can select from these Color Modes:
- Dynamic: for projecting in a bright room
- Game: for video games or TV in a bright room
- Living Room: for projecting in a room with blinds closed
- Theatre: for natural-toned movies in a darkened room
Lens/Keystone Correction: The 1.2x projection lens offers
manual focus and manual zoom for easy picture adjustments. If the projector is
placed below or above screen level, you may need to tilt the projector, causing
"keystone" shaped distortion of the image. The projector's Auto Keystone
function detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion (0° to 11°). Manual keystone
correction (up to +/- 30°) can further
adjust the shape of the image until it is evenly rectangular.
Adjustable Image Size: The Home Cinema 705HD projector can produce
an image that is adjustable between 30" and 320" (measured diagonally).
Lens Projection Distance: The projector's adjustable lens provides a wide
range of placement possibilities for a given screen size. The projection distance
(distance from lens to screen) range is 3' to 35.75'. The distance for several screen sizes
at 16:10, 4:3, and 16:9 aspect ratios are

Remote Control: In addition to the control panel, the
projector can be controlled by the supplied wireless remote control, which has a
range of 19.7 feet. The projector has infrared receivers on the front and rear
to give you control from most anywhere in the room. The remote
has the following controls:
- Power: turns projector on or off
- Source Search: search for connected video sources
- Source Select: individual buttons for Computer, Video, and USB
sources
- A/V Mute: turns off image

Slideshow Feature: Whenever you connect a USB device that
contains JPEG image files, you can show the images in a slideshow fashion. For
an instant PowerPoint presentation, you can save your PowerPoint slides as JPEG
images, and store them in a folder on the USB device. You can select individual
slides or folders by using the arrows and enter buttons on the remote. JPEG
files of up to 8176 x 6144 can be projected.
A/V Mute: By pressing the A/V Mute button on the remote
control or closing the A/V Mute slide on the projector, you can turn off the
image and sound, and darken the screen. This allows you to temporarily re-direct
the audience's attention without the distraction of a bright screen. You can
create your own startup screen, such as a company logo or photo, to use whenever
you press the A/V Mute button on the remote.
Instant Off/Sleep Mode: The projector incorporates Instant
Off technology, allowing you to turn off the projector without having to wait
for it to cool down first. You can also set the projector to automatically turn
off the lamp and enter a "sleep mode" when it has not received a signal for a
preset length of time (1 to 30 minutes). This conserves electricity, cools the
projector, and extends the life of the lamp.
Mounting Options
Mounting: The Home Cinema 705HD can be placed on a
tabletop or inverted and mounted on the ceiling. It can be used for front or
rear projection. For tabletop use, you can adjust the image position by raising
or lowering the front foot. The two rear feet can be adjusted to fine-tune the
height of the image if necessary. For ceiling mounting, you will need an
optional projector ceiling mount. Three 4mm threaded screw holes are provided on
the bottom for a ceiling mount. A commercially-available security cable or
Kensington lock can be attached to the unit to prevent theft when installed in a
public location.
Projector Case: The 705HD comes with a padded case for
storage or for transporting the projector.
Warranty Information
Warranty and Extra Care Home Service: The projector is covered by a
2-year parts and
labor warranty, while the lamp is covered for 90 days. Included with the
warranty, Epson offers Extra Care Home Service. A replacement unit (in most
cases, a refurbished unit) will be shipped to you immediately. (A credit card is
required for security deposit.) If it's important that you receive your original
projector back, you should use the basic carry-in service instead of Home
Service.
