You can’t play your movies on the projector.
■The projector only supports MPEG2 files. It does not support 
MPEG1 files. 
■Movie files included in a PowerPoint presentation can’t be played 
back in a scenario.
EasyMP is unable to see the image files on your camera or 
external drive.
Make sure your camera or drive shows up on your desktop as a drive 
letter when you connect it to your computer. If it does, it is probably a 
USB-mounted device and will work with your projector. The 
projector does not support TWAIN-compliant digital cameras.
Solving Problems with the Remote 
Control
The projector doesn’t respond to remote control commands.
■The remote control’s batteries may not be installed correctly or 
may be low on power. To change the batteries, see page 28. 
■Make sure you are within about 20 feet (6 meters) of the projector 
and within range of the projector’s front or back sensor 
(approximately 30° to the left or right and 15° above or below).
■Dim the room lights and turn off any fluorescent lights. Make 
sure the projector is not in direct sunlight. Strong lighting, 
especially fluorescent lights, may affect the projector’s infrared 
receivers. Also, turn off any nearby equipment that emits infrared 
energy, such as a radiant room heater.
■If any buttons are held for longer than 30 seconds, the remote 
enters sleep mode. Release any button that is held to wake the 
remote.

Projector Installation
This appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a 
permanent location, such as a theater or conference room.
The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front 
projection, ceiling projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent 
screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown: 
To project from overhead, you’ll need the optional ceiling mounting 
hardware; see page 13 for ordering information. You’ll also need to 
select 
Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling as the Projection option in the 
projector’s Extended menu to flip the image upside-down. To project 
from the rear, onto a semi-transparent screen, select 
Rear or 
Rear/Ceiling (see page 122).
Front projectionRear projection
Rear/ceiling projectionCeiling  
						

							168Projector InstallationIf you’re mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above 
screen level, you’ll have to tilt the projector down to position the 
image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape. 
You can correct the distortion using the 
Keystone function in the 
projector’s menu system (see page 115).
If you place the projector so that the base of the lens is level with the 
bottom of the screen, the image should be square and you won’t have 
to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the bottom of the screen, 
you’ll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole 
screen with the image.
