Before Using the Remote ControlUsing the Remote Control and Remote Operating Range
When using the remote control for the first time, pull out the insulating 
tape that is protruding from the battery holder. When the insulating tape is 
pulled out, the remote control can then be used.
The remote control is used in the following way.PROCEDUREPoint the remote control light-emitting area toward one of 
the remote control light-receiving areas on the projector 
and operate the remote control buttons.

TIP
• Do not allow sunlight or light from fluorescent lamps to shine 
directly onto the projectors remote control light-receiving areas, 
otherwise it may interfere with the reception of signals from the 
remote control.
 If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it  does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably 
means that the battery is getting flat. If this happens, replace the 
battery with a new one.    p.84
 When not using the remote control, place it into the remote control  holder underneath the projector so that it does not get lost.
Hook a finger into the middle 
of the remote control holder 
and pull it downwards.
After placing the remote control into 
the holder, push the remote control 
holder in until it clicks into place.

Before Using the Remote ControlUse the remote control within the ranges indicated below. If the distance or 
angle between the remote control and the remote control light-receiving 
area is outside the normal operating  range, the remote control may not 
work.

InstallationSetting Up the Projector
The projector supports the following four different projection methods, 
allowing you to choose the best method for displaying your images.* A special method of installation is required for suspending the projector from the ceiling. Please contact your supplier if you would like to use 
this installation method. The optional ceiling mount is required when 
installing the projector on the ceiling.     p.93
CAUTION
Before setting up the projector, be sure to first read the separate 
Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms. Front projection (Front projection)
 Rear projection using a translucent screen (Rear projection)
 Front/ceiling projection (Front/Ceiling projection) Rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen (Rear/Ceiling projection)
TIP
When using ceiling projection or projection using a translucent 
screen, set the Projection command in the Advanced menu to 
match the installation method.    p.62 
						

							15
InstallationScreen Size and Projection Distance
The distance between the projectors lens and the screen determines the 
actual image size.
While referring to the following table, position the projector so that the 
images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size.
The values should be used as a guide for setting up the projector. The 
actual values will vary depending on projection conditions and the zoom 
setting.
* When installing against a wall, leave a space of about 20 cm (7.9 in.) between the projector and the wall.

*TIP
 The projectors lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.2. The 
image size at the maximum zoom setting is about 1.2 times bigger 
than the image size at the minimum zoom setting.
 The image size will be reduced when keystone correction is carried  out.

Connecting to a Computer
Eligible Computers
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or 
projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is 
possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the 
conditions given below.
 Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.Check that the computer has a port such as an RGB port, monitor port 
or CRT port which can output image signals. 
If the computer has a built-in monito r, or if using a laptop computer, it 
may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or 
alternatively you may need to purchase  a separate external output port. 
Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as 
Connecting an external monitor or similar for further details.
 Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer  must be listed in the List of Supported Monitor Displays. See 
Appendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays 
 p.100 .
Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if 
necessary, change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the List 
of Supported Monitor Displays, while referring to the documentation 
provided with the computer.
CAUTION
When connecting the projector to a computer, be sure to check the 
following.
 Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before  connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of 
connection, damage may result.
 Check the shapes of the cable conn ectors and the device ports before 
making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device 
port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the 
connector or port may result.
 Do not bind the power cable and the connecting cable together. If the  power cable and the connecting cable are bound together, image 
interference or errors in operation may result.
TIP
 You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the shape of the computers port. Refer to the documentation provided 
with the computer for further details.
 If the computer and projector are too far away from each other for  the accessory computer cable to reach, use the optional VGA-HD15 
PC cable. See Appendices: Optional Accessories  
 p.93

Connecting to a ComputerProjecting Images from the Computer
The shape and specifications of the computers monitor port will determine 
what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type 
of port your computer has.
Use the accessory computer cable to make the connection. Some workstation-type computers have a 13w3 monitor port.
In such cases, use a commercially-available 13w3 
⇔ D-Sub 15-pin cable 
to make the connection.If the Monitor Port is a Mini D-Sub 15-pin Port

 After projection starts, change the Input Signal setting in the Image menu to either Computer1 or Computer2 to match the 
signals from the port being used for the connection.     p.52
 If more than one external component is connected to the projector,  after projection starts, use the [Computer1/2] button on the remote 
control or the [Source] button on the projectors control panel to 
select the Computer port as the input source.    p.34

Connecting to a ComputerUsing the Remote Control to Operate the Mouse Pointer (Wireless Mouse Function)
You can use the remote control as a wireless mouse to control the mouse 
pointer on the computer screen. To do this, you must use the accessory 
USB
 cable to connect the USB port of the computer to the [USB] port at 
the rear of the projector.
* When using the remote control as a wireless mouse, the [Page down] and  [Page up] buttons on the remote contro l can be used to scroll back and 
forth through pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

TIP
 The USB cable can only be connected to computers with a standard 
USB interface. If using a computer which is running Windows, the 
computer must have had a full version of Windows 98/2000/Me/XP 
Home Edition/XP Professional installed. If the computer is running 
a version of Windows 98/2000/Me/XP Home Edition/XP 
Professional that has been upgraded from an earlier version of 
Windows, correct operation cannot be guaranteed. 
 It may not be possible to use the mouse function under some versions  of both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
 Some computer settings may have to be changed in order for the  mouse function to be used. Consult the documentation for the 
computer for further details.
