Getting the Most Out of Your Projector
Your projector comes with a full set of features that enable you to 
control the settings for the image display, video, and audio. To get the 
most out of the projector, read this section for a quick summary of the 
important features.
Remote Control
The buttons on the remote control allow you to turn the projector on 
and off, and provide direct access to zoom, freeze, volume, mute, and 
image source switching. Use the remote control buttons to access 
custom functions and the projector’s menu system. You can also use 
the remote control to control your computer in place of your 
computer’s mouse.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp 
after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode, 
the projector remains on but the lamp is turned off, conserving 
electricity, cooling the projector, and extending the life of the lamp. 
To return to normal operation, press the Power button.
Online Help
Extensive online help is available for operating the projector and 
working in the projector’s feature menus. You can display the help at 
any time by pressing the Help button on either the control panel or 
the remote control.
