							Using the Remote Control35
Turning Off the Picture and Sound 
You can use the A/V Mute button on the remote control to darken 
your screen and turn off the sound. This is useful if you want to 
temporarily re-direct your audience’s attention without the distraction 
of a bright screen.

To turn off the picture and sound, press the A/V Mute button. 
The screen goes dark.

To turn the image back on, press the button again.
Stopping Action
You can use the remote control to stop the action in your video or 
computer image. 

Press the Freeze button to stop the action and keep the current 
image on the screen. The sound will continue. 

Press the Freeze button again to re-start it.
Zooming Your Image 
You can zoom in on a portion of the image using the E-Zoom button 
on the remote control.
1. Press the right side of the 
E-Zoom button to zoom in on your 
image; you can enlarge it up to four times its original size. You can 
press the button repeatedly (up to 32 times), or press and hold the 
button to zoom to the size you want.
2. Use the 
Enter button to pan around the screen if necessary.
3. Press the left side of the 
E-Zoom button to zoom out. You can 
press the button repeatedly, or press and hold it to zoom all the 
way out. You can also press the 
Resize button to return to the 
original size.

Displaying Picture-in-Picture Video
You can open a small video window on your computer image, and 
view a video at the same time as your computer presentation. 
First make sure you have connected your VCR or other video source 
using an RCA or S-Video cable as described in Chapter 1. (You can’t 
display the picture-in-picture window using component video.) If 
you’re using S-Video, you need to select it in the 
P in P menu option 
as described on page 53.
1. Press the 
P in P button on the remote control. The screen may go 
dark for a moment, and then your video image appears in a small 
window on the screen. A menu appears in the lower left corner of 
the screen, describing how to move and resize the image. 
2. Use the 
Enter button to reposition the video window on the 
screen. You can use the 
E-Zoom button to enlarge or reduce the 
video window.
3. When the window is located and sized the way you want, press 
the 
Enter button. The menu disappears, and your video plays on 
the screen.
4. When you’re finished viewing the picture-in-picture, press the 
P in P button again. The video window disappears.

							40Using the Remote Control
Using the Remote Control as a Wireless 
Mouse
When you use the remote control as a wireless mouse, you can control 
your computer or click through slideshow-style presentations (such as 
PowerPoint) from up to 30 feet away. This gives you more flexibility, 
since you won’t need to stand near your computer to change slides, for 
example. 
First make sure you have connected the mouse cable between the 
projector and your computer as described on page 13 (for laptops) or 
in Appendix A (for other systems). Note that your computer’s mouse 
may be disabled when you connect the projector’s mouse cable. If you 
have a laptop, you won’t be able to use an external mouse; however, 
you may still be able to use the computer’s built-in mouse pointer.

To move the mouse pointer on the screen, aim the remote at the 
screen and press on the edge of the 
Enter button with your 
thumb—or grasp it between your thumb and finger and tilt it in 
the direction you want to move. This button works like the 
mouse button on many laptop keyboards. 

To click (or left-click), press down on the center of the Enter 
button. This changes slides in a PowerPoint presentation when 
you’re in Slide Show mode.

To right-click, press the Esc button.

To double-click, press down twice on the Enter button.

To click and drag, press down on the Enter button and then tilt it 
in the direction you want to drag.

Using the Projector’s Menu System
The eight projector menus let you adjust and customize the projector

The Advanced menu lets you specify additional projector settings, 
including menu language, startup screen, color setting, and rear or 
ceiling projection.

projector settings.
