PRECAUTIONS
1. MAINTAIN THE SAFETY OF OPERATORS
(1) PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK * Whenever doing any repair work on the product, be sure to turn off the power switch and remove the electric power cable from the electrical outlet. * Whenever inevitably turning the power on to the product opening the case or cover (repair process) be sure to take off any metallic materials such as watch, cuffs, rings, and tie pins which may touch the metallic part of the product and dangerous of electric shock. (2) PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL INJURY * Be sure not to touch the lamp inner housing and its circumstances after the power is turned off, they may be heated up even after the cooling down process was ended. Also make sure not to touch the light source and its circumstances during the operation of repair as turning the power on. * Make sure to protect your hands by gloves from sharp edges during assembly and disassembly. * Do not look into the light source or lens while the light is on. Protect eyes from being damaged. (3) PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTS * Any operation should be done while the device placed on a flat and stable place to prevent the device or parts from being dropped. Be careful not to place tools and parts on the device or at your feet. * Whenever doing any repair work on the product, be sure to away from a place for foreigner come across in order to prevent the product from being used in incomplete condition or accidental near miss. Be sure not to leave the product during any repair work. * Be sure to use the attached power cable when you supply the power to the product.

2. SAFETY MAINTENANCE
(1) ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE * Whenever doing any repair work on the product, be sure to wear the wristband and the electrostatic mat with grounding. When replacing any electric components (Board and Optical engine), it is recommended to touch the electrostatic plastic bag of the component to the metallic part of the product once before take the component out from the plastic bag. (2) LIMITATION OF PARTS * Use only authorized or supplied parts from EPSON for the replacement of mechanical parts including the lamp inner housing, air filter and so on. * Use only the power cable and the interface cables attached with the product. (3) Others * Visually checks the distortion or dirt at the connectors of the power cable. If dirty, clean off, and if distorted, replace the cable in order to avoid firing by the flush over phenomenon. * When plug the internal connector cables or the interface cables, be sure to fully plug into the connectors unit until it stack to the connector edge. * Whenever doing removal of parts or repair work on the product, make sure that the work is done in a clean room, free of dust and dirt in order to keep the optical element away from dirt.

3. REQUIREMENT FOR THE SERVICE PERSON

Authorized person should have the following knowledge and skill for the maintenance of ELP/EMP-7550. * Need to sufficiently understand the operation and the descriptions of this service manual. * Need to have the basic knowledge of electricity (safety operation, circuit diagram, electrostatic, and else...) * Need to be trained by EPSON authorized maintenance training program and to have a certain technique as a service engineer.

4. OTHERS
* Any questions on the ELP/EMP-7550's service including supply of the service parts or contents of the document would like to be contacted to the below address. Any technical information about amendments is occasionally available as Technical Information.

These ones vary each other in respect of polarity of horizontal sync. signal and voice modulation method. NTSC4.43 and PAL60 are what are output when NTSC software is reproduced on VCR of PAL spec. Then the NTSC data is to be output in PAL spec. NTSC4.43 has transmission method of NTSC and the carrier frequency is 4.43MHz as well as PAL. PAL60 has transmission method of PAL and the vertical frequency is 60Hz as well as NTSC. Either ones have source of M-NTSC so that they have 525 pcs of scanning line for each.
