      Epson is providing the firmware update files and instructions on an as needed basis for the customers that have the required mini-USB cable and a supported operating system such as Windows XP.

      Epson is also offering a firmware update kit. The kit contains a 15ft (4.6m) mini-USB cable, a CD with firmware update files, a printed set of instructions, a prepaid self addressed FedEx return shipping label and an envelope. Epson requires that you use the label and the envelope to ship the kit back to Epson within 10 business days after updating the firmware.

      To request the firmware update files or a firmware update kit, contact EPSON technical support via the PrivateLine at 1-800-637-7661 (Requires a PIN authorization found on your PrivateLine card that came with the projector's documentation). When you call, make sure you are next to your projector to provide the technician with the projector's serial number and the current firmware version. The PrivateLine is available from Monday through Friday 6AM-8PM (PT) and Saturday 7AM-4PM (PT) for the duration of your warranty.

      If you no longer have the PrivateLine card, you can speak with a projector support specialist by calling US: (562) 276-4394 from Monday through Friday 6AM-8PM (PT) and Saturday 7AM-4PM (PT) or Canada: (905) 709-3839, 6AM to 6PM, Pacific Time, Monday through Friday (except holidays).
