• The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be available.
If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the

• 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
fluorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the
position of projector avoiding those lights.
