Remote Control Operating Range

The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point
the remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote control perpendicular
to the sides, the remote control functions within a radius of about 10 meters (33 feet) and 30
degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote control,
move a little closer.

Avoid using the remote control with bright fl uorescent lighting turned on.

1.
Certain high-frequency fl uorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.

Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projec-

2.

Important!

tor. If the path between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you
can bounce the signal off certain refl ective surfaces such as projector screens.

The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the cor-

3.
responding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the
functions based on the remote control.

Projector and Remote Control Buttons

The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector.
All operations can be carried out with the remote control; however the buttons on the projector are
limited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control

Press the cursor button to select an input source:

HDMI: select High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface. HDMI is a
digital, point-to-point interface for video signals designed as a
single-cable solution for home theater and consumer electronics
equipment.

Component: select component video as the input source.
Component video maintains the three YUV video signals in three
separate channels and provides a sharper image than compos­ite video and S-Video.

Video: select composite video as the input source. Composite
video combines all three YUV video signals into one channel.
NTSC, PAL and SECAM television are examples of composite
video sources. S-Video and component video provide a sharper
image than composite video.

S-Video: select Super Video as the input source. S-Video com­bines the three YUV video signals into two channels. S-Video
provides a sharper image than composite video, but is not as
good as component video.

SCART: SCART connectors are prevalent in Europe. SCARTs
are used to hook up VCRs and DVD players to TV sets.

Using the Kensington® Lock

If you are concerned about security, attach one end of a security cable to a permanent object and
the other to the Kensington slot and a projector.

Contact your vendor for details on purchasing a suitable Kensington security
cable. The security lock corresponds to Kensington’s MicroSaver Security
System. If you have any comment, contact: Kensington, 2853 Campus Drive,
San Mateo, CA94403, U.S.A. Tel: [phone], http://www.Kensington.com.

TROUBLESHOOTING

These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If
the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.

Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose
connection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specifi c solutions.

•

Use some other electrical device to confi rm that the electrical outlet is working.

•

Ensure the projector is turned on.

•

Ensure all connections are securely attached.

•

Ensure the attached device is turned on.

•

Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode.

•

Ensure a connected notebook computer is confi gured for an external display. (This is
usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)

Tips for Troubleshooting

In each problem-specifi c section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve
the problem more quickly.

Try to pinpoint the problem and thus avoid replacing non-defective parts.
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and
go to the next step.

Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be useful when
calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.
