Auto Button
If you are using image input from a computer, you can press the Auto button after fitting the image to the screen. Pressing the Auto button automatically adjusts the computer signal input to the current projector settings.Press the Auto button while the image fills the entire screen of your computer, like a maximized Windows screen. Certain computer input signals may not be totally compatible with Auto button settings, so you may need to use the remote control or control panel menus to make adjustments.
Resize Button 
The Resize button lets you select the projection method for certain types of image signals input from a computer.With images up to XGA size (1024 x 768 pixels)—a 640 x 480 VGA image for example—you can choose from two projection methods. Either display the image in the center of the projection area or display the image full size.With images greater than XGA size (1024 x 768 pixels)—a 1280 x 1024 SXGA image or a 1152 x 870 Macintosh 21 inch image, for example—you can choose from two projection methods. Either project a portion of the image or project the entire image in a compressed format. The projector automatically reduces the image size to XGA resolution.The Resize button cannot be used with XGA (1024 x 768 pixels).

(This distance may be shorter if the remote control batteries are low.) Note:
 The projector may not respond to remote control commands in these 
conditions: ambient light is too bright; a certain type of fluorescent light is present; a strong light source (such as direct sunlight) shines into the
