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 uorescent lighting turned on.

1.

Certain high-frequency 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 re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.

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.
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.
Graphic RGB: select RGB input to display images from a com­puter.

DVI: select Digital Video Input for digital display quality.
HDMI: select High-De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.
RGBs: RGB connectors are prevalent in Europe. RGBs are used
to hook up VCRs and DVD players to TV sets.
When the RGB input option is selected, the Composite Video
(CVBS) and Component Video (YpRpB) inputs are automatically
switched off. CVBS and YpRpB must be manually re-activated if
required.
The RGB device should be connected using the component
RCA input for RGB signals and the Sync(s) connected to the
Composite Video Input.

5. 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-specic solutions.

Use some other electrical device to con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 congured for an external display. (This is

•
usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)

Tips for Troubleshooting

In each problem-speci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.
