20 Most Recent Epson EMP S1 Multimedia Projector Questions & Answers

With the VGA you have a bad cable or a bad input jack. I would bet on the cable first. You are missing the green or the blue on the screen and that is why the red/pink is more pronounced now.

Extremely few tv's have video outputs (and those are the absolute top end ones) so you cannot connect your Epson to the tv and have it display what the tv displays. Also you can't do the other way around - the tv thru the projector - because the projector doesn't have video outputs, only inputs.
If you want to have the projector show what's on the tv you will have to use a separate tuner unit or , if you are using an external source on the tv (like a dvd player), connect it directly to the source - in parallel to the tv.

leave it plugged in for a few hours and see how it goes im talking like 4 hours... if still nothing then it could be the fuse on the main power board.... hope this is helpful :)

Be sure your input from the source is good. If a PC you may have to toggle the F8 or F5 to change the dispay to the projector. You can set the projector for AUTO Search to check all inputs at start up. If your doing WiFi or DVD/VHS player, be sure your using the outputs from those devices and that they match the projector input.

your projectors just about had it.

While the projector may attempt to display the HD TV, it will be poor quality if a image is displayed at all.

The native resolution is to low as per the specifications. The resolution needs to be at at leat 480P to be compatble with HD TV.

A hornet had built a nest in the cooling fan. this stopped the fan spinning. I removed the nest & re-assembled the projector. Now working fine. Also, as it wasn't the bulb, I now have a spare. Think I'll keep a cover over the unit when it's not in use so no more hornet nests appear.

Hi, the Epson EMP-S1requires a special driver to be able to work with any computer. It may be that the first computer had the driver and not the second one. Now the first thing you needs is the manual and that you can download it from: http://www.nodevice.com/user_manual/epson/projectors_1186653831/emp-s1.html
Second you need the driver that compatible with your OS operating System you can get that from: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=22762&infoType=Downloads
In addition, both are free,
Let me know how this worked for you and please do not forget to rate my service so we are able to improve on it. The rating as follows 1 the service was not related to the post. 2 the service was related but not did not help at all. 3 the service was to the point and somewhat complete. 4 the service was excellent and to the point.

there are light filters behind each lcd panel that determine the color of light going through it. because of excessive heat and dust, the filter tends to burn and cause discoloration in the image. if the image is bluish (cyan), the red filter is burning. if it's yellow, the blue is burning. if it's purplish (magenta), the green is burning. the filters will need to be replaced. unfortunately, many companies don't sell individual parts of the optical engine, so the entire engine might need to be replaced.

This also worked for me. None of the wire connectors apered to be loose but I pused on them all and it worked...Thanks saved us $$$

open the projector (6 inset screws on bottom) - carefully rermove the top (there are 2 wire sets attached: one for the speaker and one for the control panel) -- make sure all wire sets are properly seated -- i had one loose set -- reseated it, closed the projector and the thing wotks fine now. every repair facility i called didn't want to deal with the projector, and one person told me i ought to buy a new one

hi-
before you send it to a repair shop pls try to remove all the devices that you attach to it and check if you are still going to get those light whites after awhile, or try using a different device in which it uses a different cable, did you attach a receiver as well from the tv to projector? try changing the cables as well. update me after you performed this steps, if it resolve it pls rate as fixya if not pls reply back. Thanks!!
