Remote Control Parts

DLP® Projector – User’s Manual

Important:

1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency

fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.

2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path
between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.

3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

DLP® Projector – User’s Manual

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 perpendicular to the sides or
the rear of the projector, the remote will function well 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.

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 and
on the projector.

Some buttons on the projector have two functions. For example, item 10/13 on the projector functions
both keystone button and as the up cursor key in OSD menus.
