REV.A
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-7350/7250/5350.
* 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-7350/7250/5350's service including supply of the
service parts or contents of the document would like to be contacted to the below

polarity of horizontal sync. signal and voice modulation method.
*2 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
