18Displaying and Adjusting the Image Adjusting the Height of Your Image If the image is too low on the screen, you can raise it by extending the projector’s feet. 1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release buttons on each side and lift the front of the projector. 2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the buttons to lock the feet in position. 3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height by turning the projector feet. Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,” but the projector automatically corrects the shape in most cases. If necessary, you can manually correct the shape as described in the next section.
Displaying and Adjusting the Image19 Adjusting the Image Shape If the projected image isn’t square or has a “keystone” shape, do the following: ■If your image looks like or , you’ve placed the projector off to one side of the screen, at an angle. Move it directly in front of the center of the screen, facing the screen squarely. ■If your image looks like or , press the left or right side of the projector’s Keystone button to correct the shape. After correction, your image will be slightly smaller. You can also use the remote control to perform keystone correction through the projector’s menu system. See page 80. Correcting Computer Images If you’re connected to a computer and the image doesn’t display correctly (for example, part of the screen is cut off), press the Auto button on the remote control. This automatically adjusts the picture quality and resolution so the image fits properly on the screen. note In most cases, the projector automatically corrects for this type of distortion.

20Displaying and Adjusting the Image Shutting Down the Projector When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible overheating. 1. If you’ve connected a computer or laptop, shut it down first; otherwise you may not be able to see your computer’s display to shut it down properly. 2. To turn off the projector, press the red P Power button on the projector or remote control. You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.) 3. Press the Power button again. The power light flashes orange for about a minute and a half as the projector cools down. After the projector has cooled, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan shuts off. If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange light stops flashing. Then press the Power button. 4. Turn off and disconnect any equipment plugged into the projector. 5. If you extended the feet, press the side buttons to retract them. 6. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord. 7. Store the projector in a protective case. note When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters “sleep mode.” This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you want to start projecting again, press the Power button. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. To turn off sleep mode, see page 81.Power button caution To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power cord when the power light is green or flashing orange.
Using the Remote Control21 1 Using the Remote Control The remote control lets you access your projector’s features from anywhere in the room—up to 20 feet away. You can use it to turn the projector on and off, switch between picture sources, freeze the action, mute the picture and sound, and zoom in on a portion of your image. You can use the remote control to access the projector’s menu system (Chapter 6). The remote also has special functions that are available only when projecting in certain modes: see Chapter 4 when connected to a computer or Chapter 5 when presenting from a memory card. This chapter covers: ■Activating and using the remote control ■Controlling the picture and sound

When using the remote control, stand within about 20 feet of the projector. Aim it either at the front or back of the projector, or at the screen. When not using the remote control, place it in the holder in the back of the projector so it won’t get lost. Remove plastic tape note Avoid placing the projector under bright fluorescent lamps or in direct sunlight, or it may not respond properly to the remote control.

24Using the Remote Control Controlling the Picture and Sound You can use the remote control to select your source, temporarily turn off the picture and sound, freeze the action, zoom in on the picture, or adjust the color. Switching Between Picture Sources If your projector is connected to more than one computer and/or video source, you can switch between the different sources: ■On the projector’s control panel, press the Source button to switch between the computer, EasyMP, and video sources. ■On the remote control, press the Comp/EasyMP button to switch between the computer source and EasyMP, or press the S-Video/Video button to switch between composite video and S-video sources. After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the image appears. Turning Off the Picture and Sound You can use the A/V Mute button on the remote control to turn off the image and sound and darken your screen. This is useful if you want to temporarily redirect your audience’s attention without the distraction of a bright screen. ■To turn off the picture, press the A/V Mute button. The screen goes dark. ■To turn the image back on, press the button again. You can also have an image, such as a company logo, display on the screen whenever you press the A/V Mute button.
