Using the Remote Control
To use the forward and back buttons on the remote to advance 
slides in PowerPoint, you must connect the USB mouse connector 
on the computer cable to the computer. See page 7 for details. 
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of 
the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum oper-
ation is about 25 feet/7.6m. If you point the remote at the projec-
tion screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector 
must be less than or equal to 25 feet/7.6m. For best results, point 
the remote directly at the projector.

 has menus that allow you to make image adjust-
ments and change a variety of settings. These adjustments aren’t 
available directly from the keypad.

Resize
Resize 
allows you to select from among four different re-sizing 
options. The default is 
Standard, which resizes the image from its 
original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect ratio screen. 
Wide-
screen Letterbox
 preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio of the original 
theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 space, so black 
bars appear at the top and bottom of the image. 
Enhanced Wide-
screen
 also preserves the aspect ratio of the original theater ver-
sion and is designed to be used with content that is Enhanced for 
Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail than Widescreen 
Letterbox. 
Native reduces the Standard size to match the height of 
Enhanced Widescreen.

signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly 
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide 
or too narrow for the screen, try turning 
Auto Image off then back 
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-
ually:

cally based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard 
options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the 
projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might 
not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens, 
manually select a video standard.
