Remote Control Operating Range
Point the remote control to the infrared
remote receiver on the front or rear of the
projector whenever pressing any button.
zUse the remote control within a distance
of approximately 5 m (16.4) from the pro-
jector.
zUse the remote control within an angle of
30° in any direction from directly in front
of the infrared remote receiver.
zYou can check the batteries of the remote control by pressing the [LIGHT] button.
If all buttons on the remote control do not light when the [LIGHT] button is pressed, or but-
tons are inoperative when you attempt to operate the projector, replace with new batteries.
zIt is recommended to check the batteries before a presentation.
The remote control may be inoperative if:
zThere is an obstacle between the remote control and main unit.
zThe infrared remote receiver on the main unit is exposed to direct sunlight or strong light of
lighting equipment.
zThe remote control uses infrared light.
zWhen you use two projectors at the same time, you can change the channel settings to pre-
vent the two remote controls from interfering with each other (P100).
1Open the battery com-
partment lid.
Slide the lid with it 
pressed down.2Insert batteries.
Insert new two AAA-size 
batteries in the compart-

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
Setting Up the Projector
Determining the Distance to the Screen
The projected image size is determined by the distance between the projector lens and the
screen. Select the place where the desired image size is obtained according to the illustra-
tion shown below.
H1 and H2: The height of the screen from the intersection of optical axis and screen surface when an
image is projected at right angle to the screen.
zInstall the projector at the position where the projection distance is between approxi-
mately 1.2 m (3.9) to 9 m (29.5). If the installation position is too close or too far, the
image is out of focus or the screen becomes dark, respectively.
zThe sizes in the above table have been obtained assuming that the aspect ratio is 4:3.
They may vary from the actual sizes depending on the type of the projected image.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
Determining the Installation Position
Placing in Front of the Screen
Place the projector perpendicular to the screen
as far as possible.
Placing on a Level Place
Place the projector on a level place as far as pos-
sible.
zA slight error in the projection angle can be
corrected using the [KEYSTONE] button
(P47).
zA slight tilt can be corrected using the rear
adjustable foot. (P38)
zMake sure that the installation position is
free from any obstacle that may block the
exhaust vent (fan) on the right side of the
projector and the air intake vent on the bot-
tom of the projector.
zThe screen must not be exposed to direct
sunlight or light from lighting equipment. In a
bright room, it is recommended to limit
ambient lighting in order to improve the
image quality.

Ceiling Mounting or Rear Projection
You can mount the projector on the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side
down or place it behind the screen (Rear) if you use a translucent screen.
If you mount the projector on the ceiling, you have to invert the projected image (P85).
