projectors front and rear remote sensors.
• The range of the remote sensor on the front is 3
meters with a 60-degree range (30 degrees to the
left and right of the remote sensor), and back is 3
meters with a 40-degree range.
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to use
the remote control in an area free from obstacles
that could block the remote controls output signal to
the projector.
• The wired remote control:
You can use the remote control as a wired remote control, by connecting \
the REMOTE CONTROL ports of the
main unit and remote control via an audio cable (3.5 dia. stereo mini c\
able with plugs).
