Using the remote controlThe remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by 
sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the bat-
teries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not 
at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).
Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint 
presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the 
computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for 
the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 10 for 
details on loading the correct USB drivers.
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector ’s menu system. Use 
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and 
adjust values in the menus. See page 30 for more info on the menus.
The remote also has a Powe r button to turn the projector on and off (see 
page 16 for shutdown info), Vo l u m e and Mute buttons to control the sound, 
and a Source button to switch between sources.
Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button 
to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which 
color is displayed, see page 37); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin-
able action, such as freeze or aspect ratio (see page 38 to learn to program 
this button).
Troubleshooting the remote Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are 
not dead. The LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is 
pressed when the battery power is adequate.
 Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the com-
puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
 If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB por-
tion of the M1 computer cable is connected and the correct drivers are 
installed.

Using the LitePort playerLitePort allows you to display any JPEG image automatically, without a 
computer connected. Use your own JPEGs from your digital camera, or con-
vert your files, such as PowerPoint or Word files, into JPEGs using LitePort 
Utility software (included on the CD). LitePort Utility allows you to easily 
generate the highest quality JPEG images possible. (LitePort player is opti-
mized to display images at 960x720 resolution, so for best results, create 
JPEGs at this resolution). Then transfer the JPEG images from your com-
puter to the projector using a USB mass storage device and your images are 
ready to be displayed. You can use the remote control to select which JPEGs 
to view or you can set up the LitePort player using the LitePort onscreen 
menu to select display preferences and automatically display and advance 
your JPEGs. See page 36.
When active, the player can be in one of three modes:
Folder View mode, which shows a thumbnail image representing each 
folder that contains a valid JPEG. The thumbnail for that folder is the 
first JPEG alphabetically in that folder. Folders are sorted alphabetically 
based on the name of the actual directory with no regard to the file sys-
tem path to the folder.
File View mode, which shows a thumbnail of the valid JPEGs in that 
folder.
Full Screen mode, which shows the first JPEG in the selected folder.
The remote and keypad buttons interact with the player differently in each 
mode. When you insert a USB device in the LitePort connector, the player 
enters Full Screen mode if Auto Play is checked (the default setting) and the 
AutoPlay folder contains a JPEG or it enters Folder View if Auto Play is not 
checked. The AutoPlay folder is automatically created by LitePort Utility 
software. See its online help for details.
In Folder View mode, pressing the Next button (or the Down arrow) places 
the white selection box around the next folder, pressing the Previous button 
(or the Up arrow) places the selection box around the previous folder, press-
ing Select selects the current folder and enters File View mode. Nine folder 
thumbnails can be displayed on the screen at a time. If your USB drive con-
tains more than 9 folders, you can navigate to them by navigating to the last thumbnail on the screen and pressing Next or Down arrow. You are looped 
back to Folder 1 when you reach the end of the folder list.
In File View mode, pressing Next (or Down) places the selection box around 
the next JPEG file, pressing Previous (or Up) places the selection box around 
the previous JPEG, pressing Select selects the current JPEG and enters Full 
Screen mode, or, if the “return to folders” arrow is highlighted, returns to 
Folder View mode. Eight file thumbnails can be displayed on the screen at a 
time. If your folder contains more than 8 files, you can navigate to them by 
navigating to the last thumbnail on the screen and pressing Next. You are 
looped back to File 1 when you reach the end of the file list.
In Full Screen mode, pressing Next (or Down) advances to the next JPEG 
file, pressing Previous (or Up) goes to the previous JPEG file, pressing Select 
returns to File View mode. To rotate the JPEG 90 degrees clockwise, select 
LitePort Rotate in the Effect menu (see page 38) then press the Effect button. 
Press Select to return to File View mode.

Optimizing computer imagesAfter your computer is connected properly and the computer ’s image is on 
the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen-
eral information on using the menus, see page 30.
 Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu. 
 Change the Aspect Ratio. See page 31 for details.
 Adjust the Color Space, Temperature or Control in the Advanced menu.
 Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the  Advanced menu.
 Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can  save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these 
settings later. See page 32.Presentation featuresSeveral features are provided to make giving presentations easier. The fol-
lowing is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 30.
The remote’s  Effect button allows you to assign various features to the 
key. The default effect is About. You can select from Blank, Mute, 
Aspect Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, About, and LitePort Rotate. 
See page 38 for details. 
 The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is use- ful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audi-
ence seeing them. 
The  Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen 
instead of the active source. See page 37.
 The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup  screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 37.
 Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to auto- matically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or 
display a blank screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 35.
Optimizing video imagesAfter the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen, 
you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general informa-
tion on using the menus, see page 30.
 Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture menu. See page 31. 
 Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to  image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV 
and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your 
input source. See page 31.

nected. For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and will 
be hidden when a computer source is active. Other menu items may be 
grayed out when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed 
out until an image is active.
