You can connect a dynamic microphone to the MIC port with a 3.5 mm mini-plug.
In that case, the built-in speaker outputs the sound from the microphone, even
while the sound from the projector is output. You can input line level signal to
the MIC port from equipment such as wireless microphone. Select HIGH in the
MIC LEVEL item of the AUDIO menu when you input line level audio signal to
the MIC port. In the normal mode, the volume of the microphone can be adjusted
separately from the volume of the projector using the menu (52). In the standby
mode, the volume of the microphone is adjustable with the VOLUME +/- buttons
on the remote control, in synchronization with the volume of the projector (23).
Even when the sound of projector is set to mute mode by the AUDIO SOURCE
function (52), the volume of the microphone is adjustable.
In both modes (standby or normal), the MUTE button on the remote control
works on the sounds of the microphone and the projector (23).

Remote control

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range
when the sensor is active:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor)
within 3 meters about.

•

NOTE

The remote control signal re ected in the screen or the like may be available.

(approx.)

If it is dif cult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal re ect.

• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1
LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.

•

The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun
light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter  uorescent
lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of
projector avoiding those lights.

Changing the frequency of remote control signal

The accessory remote control has the two choices on signal
frequency Mode 1:NORMAL and Mode 2:HIGH. If the remote control
does not function properly, attempt to change the signal frequency.
In order to set the Mode, please keep pressing the combination of
two buttons listed below simultaneously for about 3 seconds.

(1) Set to Mode 1:NORMAL... VOLUME - and RESET buttons
(2) Set to Mode 2:HIGH... MAGNIFY OFF and ESC buttons

Please remember that the REMOTE FREQ. in the SERVICE item of

(67)

the OPTION menu

of the projector to be controlled should be

set to the same mode as the remote control.
