images are elongated horizontally to fit.
■Full (G5450WUNL/G5650WNL/G5750WUNL only): Displays 
images using the full width of the projection area, but does not 
retain the aspect ratio. 4:3 ratio images are elongated horizontally.
■Zoom (G5450WUNL/G5650WNL/G5750WUNL only): 
Displays images using the full width of the projection area and 
maintains the aspect ratio of the image. The image may be cut off 
on the top and bottom depending on its aspect ratio.
■Native (HDMI and computer images only if you are using the 
G5550NL/G5950NL)
: Displays images as is (aspect ratio and

Presenting With the Remote 
Control
The projector includes a number of tools to enhance your 
presentation. All of them can be accessed using the remote control, 
which lets you operate the projector from anywhere in the room—up 
to 49 feet (15 meters) away. 
You can use the remote control to adjust the picture and sound 
(page 66), as a pointer to highlight your presentation (page 69), or to 
control two or more projectors at the same time (page 71). If you have 
the optional wireless mouse receiver, you can also use your remote 
control as a wireless mouse when projecting from a computer 
(page 70). 
This chapter covers:
■Using the remote control
■Controlling the picture and sound
■Highlighting your presentation
■Operating your computer with the remote control
■Operating two or more projectors with the remote control

Using the Remote Control
Make sure batteries are installed as described on page 142. Follow 
these tips for using the remote control: 
■Point the remote control at the front of the projector or at the 
screen.
■Stand within 49 feet (15 meters) of the projector.
Controlling the Picture and Sound
You can use the remote control to preview and select your picture 
sources, temporarily turn off the picture and sound, freeze the action, 
zoom in on the picture, and adjust the volume.
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: 
■The easiest way to select your source is to press the Search button 
on the remote control (or the 
Source Search button on the 
projector) repeatedly until you see the image you want on the 
screen.
■On the remote control, you can press one of the Source buttons 
to select the connected device you need.
After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the 
image appears.
note
If a button is pressed longer 
than 30 seconds, the remote 
control stops operating to 
conserve battery power. 
When you release the 
button, normal operation 
resumes.
note
Using the remote under 
bright fluorescent lamps or 
in direct sunlight may affect 
projector response.

Turning Off the Picture and Sound
You can temporarily turn off the image and sound by pressing the 
A/V Mute button on the remote control. This turns the image black 
and stops the sound. To turn the image and sound back on, press the 
button again.
You can have the screen turn blue (using the Display setting as 
described on page 126) or display an image such as a company logo 
when you press the 
A/V Mute button. (See page 123 for more 
information on displaying an image.)
Stopping Action
Press the Freeze button on the remote control to stop the action in 
your video or computer image. The image freezes but the sound 
continues.
To restart the action, press the 
Freeze button again.
note
This function pauses the 
image, not the sound. 
Because the source continues 
to transmit signals, when 
you resume the action, it 
won’t be at the point you 
stopped it.

Operating Your Computer With the 
Remote Control
With the optional wireless mouse receiver (see page 15), you can use 
the remote control in place of your computer’s mouse. This gives you 
more flexibility when delivering slideshow-style presentations, since 
you won’t have to stand next to the computer to change slides. 
■Use the  Up and  Down buttons to move through slides or 
pages in a presentation. 
■Use the  pointer button to move the pointer on the screen.
■Press the Enter button once to left-click, or twice to double-click. 
Press the 
Esc button to right-click.
■To drag-and-drop, hold down the Enter button. Then use the 
pointer button to drag the object. When it’s where you want 
it, release the 
Enter button.
note
You can also use the Up and 
Down buttons to move 
through a presentation that 
is being projected over a 
network or from a device 
connected to the projector’s 
 USB port.
