yYou programmed the buttons on the remote control to control the
computer, but pressing one or more buttons has no effect.
First make sure the RS-232C serial cable is properly and securely connected as
described in Chapter 1. Check that the Serial setting on the Options menu is on
and the ELP Remote Programmer is running on your computer.
The remote control is more than 33 feet from the projector or is more than
30 degrees to the side of the projector. Move closer to the projector and hold the
remote control more directly in front of it.
There is an obstacle in the path between the remote control and the receiver at
the front or back of the projector. Remove anything blocking the path. If you’re
using rear projection and the screen is between the remote control and the
projector, you need to connect the remote control directly to the projector using
the optional lead wire.
Both the ELP Remote Programmer and ELP Link utilities are running. When both
are running, ELP Link has priority. You need to close ELP Link in order to use the
ELP Remote Programmer.
The ELP Remote Programmer might be set up for a different serial port than the
one you’re using. Bring up the ELP Remote Programmer and open the Special
menu to check which serial COM port is selected.

The batteries in the remote control are not inserted properly or are no longer
good. Reinsert them or replace them if necessary.
A strong light source, such as direct sunlight or a compact fluorescent tube, is
causing interference. Move the projector away from the strong light source.

yUsing the trackball has no effect.
The remote control is in sleep mode. Press any button to exit sleep mode so you
can use the trackball.
y yy y
yDouble-clicking a programmable button has no effect.
You are double-clicking too fast and the projector is not able to distinguish both
clicks. Double-click more slowly.
y yy y
yWhen using the ELP Remote Programmer on your PC, the mouse speed
is too slow or too fast.
The ELP Remote Programmer mouse speed and the Windows Control Panel
mouse speed may be interfering with one another. First try adjusting the mouse
speed in the ELP Remote Programmer’s Special menu. If this does not solve the
problem, adjust the mouse speed in your computer’s Control Panel.

							Glossary 81
GlossaryBrightness. The balance of light and dark shades in an image.
Composite video. A type of video signal that encodes picture, luminance, and
synchronization information so it can be carried in one signal.
Contrast. A measure of the tonal differences between the highlights and
shadows of an image. In a high-contrast image, light areas are very bright and
dark areas are very dark, with relatively few levels of gray between white and
black. Contrast is made lower by adding grays.
ELP Remote Programmer. Utility that allows you to use the remote control to
control your computer. It also allows you to assign a keyboard macro to the
remote control’s five programmable buttons.
Macro. As used in the ELP Remote Programmer, a series of 32 keystrokes and
mouse commands that can be assigned to a programmable button on the remote
control. Pressing the button has the same effect as typing the keys contained in
the macro.
