About the remote control signal
The remote control works with the 
projector’s remote sensor. This projector 
has two remote sensors on the front and 
back sides.
The sensors can sense signals within 
the following range:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the 
sensor) within 3 meters about.
• You can deactivate one of the sensors using the REMOTE RECEIV. 
item in the SERVICE menu of the OPTION menu (
70) .
• The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be available. 
If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the 
signal reflect.
• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 
LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that 
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct 
sun light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter 
fluorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the 
position of projector avoiding those lights. NOTE
Changing the frequency of  remote control signal
The accessory remote control has the two choices on signal frequency Mode 
1:NORMAL and Mode 2:HIGH. If the remote control does not function properly, 
attempt to change the signal frequency.
In order to set the Mode, please keep pressing the combination of two buttons 
listed below simultaneously for about 3 seconds.
