Hi,

I need to visit my clients sooner or later.

Not yet, but the menu system on the 61000 is the same as every other epson HT projector out there. Expect the same menu as the 9700 or 8700.

Hey Michael,

How was the PQ on the 6010? I am thinking of buying one.

Nice, but typical of epson and the lcd tech. Best black levels so far, but the jvcs still have it beat.

the multipoint cnvergence is a waste of time.

Thanks for the reply.

[Gregg Loewen]

multi point convergence works very well. You need to do the firmware update to make it work correctly.

[Anonymous]

is the firmware update just on the epson site?

[Gregg Loewen]

not sure.

I will ask that Epson surf by and add it to this site.

Also, the convergence will change a lot if mounted upside down. ( I am told this is by design).

That would be great if you could have them add it here.

Thanks.

Hello All,
As you may know Epson Support has a new Firmware V104 to fix an issue with the LCD Alignment feature on the PowerLite Home Cinema 5010/5010e and PRO Cinema 6010 projectors, when the projector is ceiling mounted and the projection mode is set to “Front/Ceiling” or “Rear” mode the orange box that comes up in the LCD Alignment screen is not where the adjustments on the screen are made. The lines being adjusted are in the opposite corner to the orange Box. The new firmware V104 corrects this issue.

We have recently started providing Firmware v104 update kits to Epson Dealers and End users. For the Epson Dealers, we have been “seeding” the kits with them, so they are keeping the kits and should be able to perform the update for users who cannot do it themselves.
End users who request a kit must agree send the kit back within 10 business days after they receive it. We have a limited number of kits and we need to be able to turn them around. We are including a return envelope and label.

We now also have the Firmware V104 files Zipped and posted on the EPSON FTP server for customers that already have a mini-USB cable and a Windows XP PC.

The link or FTP path to the FW 104 files is here:
ftp://ftp.epson.com/drivers/epson14639-FW104.zip

Or if you have trouble, you can also navigate to this link:
ftp://ftp.epson.com/drivers/ , and look for File name = epson14639-FW104.zip

You will need the following Hardware Requirements for the FW104 Update:
– A PC with; Windows 98SE / Windows Me / Windows 2000 / Windows XP
(Note Windows Vista / 7, and Macintosh OS X are not supported at this time)
– An available USB port
– Approximately 20MB of free Hard disk space.
– A mini-USB cable (type A to mini-B)

If you need a FW104 kit, or need help with the installation / instructions, please call the Epson PrivateLine at 1-800-637-7661 (Requires a PIN authorization – use PIN#5039673). Let the support Rep know that you need a FW 104 kit or assistance performing the FW104 update and ask to speak with someone in the Advance Product Support (APS) group.

For a mini-USB cables that have been tested and approved to work with your projector.

Company Description Part Number

Note: The required mini-USB cable is commonly used by many devices such as digital cameras, camcorders, cellphones, and MP3 players. However, the cable is in-expensive and can be purchased easily on-line. Epson does not certify, endorse, or guarantee the performance of these products. Please contact the vendor for any warranty or support issues with the product.
