Setting up
• Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to 
the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected 
with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal 
timing, and the resolution.
-  Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
-  Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals 
which are not supported by this projector. 
-  Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA 
(1600X1200), the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution 
before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the 
resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.
• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the 
port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with 
screws.
• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s 
external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous 
LCD and CRT display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the 
instruction manual of the corresponding laptop PC.
• When the picture resolution is changed on a PC depending on an input, 
automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. 
In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the 
new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. 
It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the 
resolution.
• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display 
any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function 
correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on 
G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.
• The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital 
Content Protection) and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from 
HDCP compatible DVD players or the like. NOTE Connecting your devices (continued)

About the remote control signal
The remote control works with the projector’s remote 
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range 
when the sensor is active:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the 
sensor) within 3 meters about.
Installing the batteries
Please insert the batteries into the remote control before using it. If the remote control 
starts to malfunction, try to replace the batteries. If you will not use the remote control for 
long period, remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place.
1.Holding the hook part of the battery 
cover, remove it.
2.Align and insert the two AA batteries  
(HITACHI MAXELL or HITACHI MAXELL  
ENERGY, Part No. LR6 or R6P) according  
to their plus and minus terminals as indicated in the remote control.
3.Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into place.
►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as 
directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage, 
which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specified. Do not use batteries of different 
types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one. 
• 
Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.
• Keep a battery away from children and pets.
• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.
• 
Do not place a battery in a fire or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.
• If you observe battery leakage, wipe out the leakage and then replace a battery. 
If the leakage adheres to your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.
• Obey the local laws on disposing the battery.WARNING
• 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.
