							Displaying and Adjusting the Image17
Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:    
■To focus or zoom your image, see below. 
■If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See 
page 18.
■If the image isn’t square, see page 19.
■If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 19. 
Focusing and Zooming Your Image
Rotate the focus ring to sharpen the image.
Rotate the zoom ring to reduce or enlarge the image.
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the 
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the 
E-Zoom 
button on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. 
See page 25 for instructions.

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.

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

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 
						

							22Using the Remote Control
Activating and Using the Remote 
Control
Before using the remote control for the first time, you need to remove 
the plastic tape as shown below. 
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. 
						

							Using the Remote Control23
Replacing the Battery 
If the projector stops responding to the remote control, you may need 
to replace its battery:
1. Turn the remote control over. 
2. Push inward on the latch as 
shown, then slide out the battery 
tray.
3. Replace the old battery with a 
new CR2025 lithium battery.
4. Slide the battery tray back in place.
caution
When replacing batteries, 
take the following 
precautions:
■Replace the battery as 
soon as it runs out. If the 
battery leaks, wipe away 
battery fluid with a soft 
cloth. If fluid gets on your 
hands, wash immediately.
■Do not expose batteries to 
heat or flame.
■Dispose of used batteries 
according to local 
regulations.
■Remove the battery if you 
won’t be using the projector 
for a long period of time.

							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. See page 78 for 
instructions.
