Remote control code

The projector can be assigned to 8 different remote control codes, 1 to 8. When several adjacent projectors are in operation at the same time, switching the remote control codes can prevent interference from other remote controls. Set the remote control code for the projector first before changing that for the remote control.

To switch the code for the projector, select from among 1 to 8 in the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Remote Control Code menu.

To switch the code for the remote control, press ID set and the number button corresponding to the remote control code set in the projector OSD together for 5 seconds or more. The initial code is set to 1. When the code is switched to 8, the remote control can control every projector.

If different codes are set on the projector and remote control, there will be no response from the remote control. When that happens, switch the code for the remote control again.

Using the remote mouse control

The capability of operating your computer with the remote control gives you more flexibility when delivering presentations.

1. Connect the projector to your PC or notebook with a USB cable prior to using the remote control in place of your computer’s mouse. See “Connecting a computer” on page 16 for details.
2. Set the input signal to D-Sub / Comp.. 1 or D-Sub / Comp. 2.
3. Press Mouse on the remote control to switch from the normal mode to the mouse mode. An icon appears on the screen to indicate the activation of the mouse mode
4. Perform the desired mouse controls on your remote control.

• To move the cursor on the screen, press up/down/left/right.
• To left-click, press left mouse button.
• To right-click, press right mouse button.
• To operate your display software program (on a connected PC) which responds to page up/down commands (like Microsoft PowerPoint), press PgUp/PgDn.
• To return to the normal mode, press Mouse again or other keys except for the mouse-related multi-function keys.

Remote control effective range

The Infra-Red (IR) remote control is located on the front of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector’s IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the remote control batteries

1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, and press on the finger grip on the cover and pull it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and pushing it back down into position. Stop when it clicks into place.

WARNING

• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom, or in a closed car.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local environment regulations for your region.
• Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the batteries are drained or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.

Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of the following 4 possible installation locations:

Front Table

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

Front Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.

Purchase the projector ceiling mount kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling. Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.

Rear Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen and the projector ceiling mounting kit are required for this installation location.

Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.

Rear Table

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen is required.

Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.

Connection

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

• Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
• Use the correct signal cables for each source.
• Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

1. VGA cable
2. VGA to DVI-A cable
3. USB cable
4. Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adapter cable
5. S-Video cable
6. Video cable
7. Audio cable
8. HDMI cable

Connecting a computer or monitor

Connecting a computer

1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 signal input socket on the projector.
3. If you wish to use the remote mouse control function, take a USB cable and connect the larger end to the USB port of the computer, and the smaller end to the MINI USB socket on the projector. See “Using the remote mouse control” on page 10 for details.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector.

Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook’s documentation to find your notebook’s key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in “Connecting a computer” on page 16.
2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor. Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the MONITOR OUT socket on the projector.

The MONITOR OUT output only works when COMPUTER IN 1 connection is made to the projector.

To use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, turn on the Active VGA Out function under the SOURCE > Standby Settings menu.
