							56Using WirelessHD
Using WirelessHD
You can use the included WirelessHD Transmitter (PowerLite Home Cinema 3010e only) to 
wirelessly stream HD content from a video device to the projector. 
Placing the WirelessHD Transmitter
Place the WirelessHD Transmitter so that the unit’s lights face the front of the projector. 
Make sure the transmitter is within 32 feet (10 meters) of the projector and is located in the 
same room. 
Note: The wireless transmission range may vary depending on the placement and size of 
surrounding objects. Avoid placing the transmitter in an area with many large or metal objects and 
do not place the transmitter on a metal surface, as this may interfere with the signal. 
Use the images below to determine the best placement for the WirelessHD Transmitter (the 
shaded areas represent the WirelessHD transmission area):

							58Using HDMI Link
Using HDMI Link
When you connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to the projector with HDMI cables, you 
can control them using the HDMI Link control buttons on the projector’s remote control. 
This lets you use just one remote control to operate many commonly used features on all your 
devices.
In a typical configuration, your DVD player may be connected to the projector through an 
amplifier or home theater system. Even if the amplifier does not conform to the HDMI CEC 
standard, you can still use the projector’s HDMI Link control buttons to operate the DVD 
player as long as the DVD player conforms to the HDMI CEC standard.
Note: Some HDMI CEC functions may not operate, depending on the connected product’s design 
and compliance with the HDMI CEC standard.
Setting Up HDMI Link
To prepare your devices to work with the HDMI Link control buttons, follow these steps:
1. Press the 
HDMI Link button on the projector’s remote control.
2. Select 
HDMI Link and set it to On.
3. Press the 
HDMI Link button to exit the menu system.

4. Set up your connected devices so their HDMI CEC-compatible functions are enabled. 
For details, refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation.
Changing HDMI Link Settings
1. Press the HDMI Link button on the projector’s remote control.
2. Select 
Device Connections. You see this screen:
3. Use the u and d arrow buttons to select the device you want to operate, then press 
Enter. Devices are listed by type (Player, Recorder, AV System, or Tuner) and by name, 
if the model number is available.
4. Once the device is selected, use the HDMI Link control buttons on the remote control to 
operate it. You can also use the 
On and Standby buttons, arrow buttons, Enter, and 
Esc. Commonly available functions include turning on the device when it’s in standby 
mode, starting playback, adjusting the volume, and operating the device’s link menu.
In addition, HDMI Link allows your projector and other devices to be turned on and off 
together:
■If you turn on a connected device, the projector automatically turns on and switches 
to the correct input source.
■If you turn on the projector, connected devices such as an amplifier and DVD player 
are turned on. If multiple video devices are connected, the one last used is turned on. 
When you turn off the projector, the connected devices are turned off.
Note: For this to work, the CEC power link function of the connected devices must be enabled.

							60Maintenance
Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a regular basis is keep the lens 
clean. You also may need to clean the air filter to prevent overheating.
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never 
open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages 
in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as 
specifically explained in this User’s Guide. 
The only parts you should replace are the air filter and the lamp. If another part needs 
replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
■Use a blower brush that is designed for camera equipment to remove dust from the lens.
■To remove dirt or smears, use a lens cloth or tissue. If necessary, moisten the cloth with 
lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution: Never rub the lens with abrasive materials. Use only lens cleaning fluids that are designed 
for cleaning optics.
