Functions for Enhancing ProjectionPausing the Image and Sound (A/V Mute)
For example, this can be used if you want to pause the projection for a 
moment and focus the audience’s attention on what you are saying. Or if 
you are making a computer presentation and you do not want to show 
details, such as selecting different files.PROCEDUREYou can turn this function on or off by pressing the [A/V Mute] button.
Freezing the Image (Freeze)The source image continues to project even when the screen is frozen. You can 
still perform operations such as changing files, without projecting any images.
PROCEDUREYou can turn this function on or off by pressing the [Freeze] button.
 If you use this function when projecting moving 
images, the images and sound will still continue to be 
played back by the source, and you cannot return to the 
point where the A/V mute function was activated.

black, blue, or a logo by using Extended -Display - 
Background Color in the configuration menu.Remote control

was paused.
 Pressing the [Freeze] button also clears configuration 
menu displays and help messages.
