• If buttons on the remote control are inoperative when you attempt to operate the 
projector, replace the batteries with new ones.
• Do not drop the remote control or subject it to impact.
• Do not spill any liquids on the remote control. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Pay attention to the following points when handling the batteries. 
Failing to do so could result in a fire or personal injury.
• Do not heat, short circuit or disassemble the batteries, or place 
them in a fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge the batteries that are included with the 
remote control.
• Remove the batteries when they are flat or when the remote control 
will not be used for a long period of time.
• When replacing the batteries, replace both at the same time. Also, 
do not use two batteries of a different type at the same time.
• Insert the batteries with the + and - terminals in the correct 
directions.
• If any liquid from inside the batteries leaks out and contacts your 
skin, be sure to wash the liquid off thoroughly.

WUX500: up to 8 m (26.3) in front or back
WUX450ST: up to 4 m (13.1) in front and 8 m (26.3) in back
• Use the remote control within an angle of 25° in any direction from directly in front of the 
infrared remote receiver.
• The remote control may be inoperative if there is an obstacle between the remote 
control and the projector or the infrared remote receiver on the projector is exposed to 
direct sunlight or strong light of lighting equipment.
• When you use 2 or more projectors at the same time, you can change the channel 
settings to prevent the 2 remote controls from interfering with each other. (P100)

Installation Procedure
Before setting up the projector, be sure to read “Before Installation” (P20).
Setting Up the Projector
■Positioning the Projector in Front of the Screen
Place the projector in front of the screen.
■Floor Installation
To adjust the projection position when the projector is installed on the floor, use the 
lens shift function (P44, P56) to adjust up / down / left / right. You can also use the 
adjustable feet to incline the projector upward by up to 6°.
For information about the relationship between screen size and projection distance, 
refer to page 43.
On some screens, colors may appear 
distorted when images are viewed from the 
side, but this does not indicate a problem 
with the projector. For best results, use a 
matte screen with a wide viewing angle 
(WUX450ST).
• To avoid keystone distortion, install the 
projector so that it is at right angles to the 
screen.
• The screen must not be exposed to direct 
sunlight or light from lighting equipment. In 
a bright room, it is recommended that 
lights be turned off, curtains be drawn, and 
other steps taken to make the screen 
easier to see.
