Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:    
■If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See 
below.
■To focus or zoom your image, see page 23.
■If the image isn’t square, see page 23.
■If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 25. 
■If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see page 97.
Adjusting the Height of Your Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable 
foot to raise it. 
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up and lift 
the front of the projector.
2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever 
to lock the foot in position.
3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level of the image by 
turning the projector’s adjustable rear feet. 
Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,” but 
you can correct the shape as described on page 23.

Focusing and Zooming Your Image
Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image. 
Turn the zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the image. 
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the 
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the 
E-Zoom 
buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image. 
See page 31 for instructions.
Adjusting the Image Shape
In most cases, you can maintain a square or rectangular image by 
placing the projector directly in front of the center of the screen with 
the base of the lens level with the bottom of the screen. 
Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 30° up or 
down), the projector has an automatic keystone correction function 
that detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.
It takes about one second after projection starts for the image to be 
corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone correction gauge 
appears on the screen.
If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using the Keystone 
buttons on the projector’s control panel or the projector’s Setting 
menu.

Using Keystone Correction
To adjust your image when it is wider on the top or bottom, do the 
following:
■Press one of the two keystone correction buttons on the 
projector’s control panel, as shown below. Continue pressing the 
button until you are satisfied with the shape of the image.
■Or press the Menu button on the remote control or projector, 
select the 
Setting menu, and press Enter. 
From the Setting menu, select 
Keystone and press Enter. Use 
the  pointer button on the remote control to adjust the 
keystone setting as needed. 
If the image quality declines (for example, lines or edges look 
jagged), reduce the sharpness setting. See page 101.
tip
You can display a test 
pattern to help align the 
image (see page 105).

Correcting Computer Images
If you’re connected to a computer and the image doesn’t look right, 
press the 
Auto button on the remote control or the Enter button on 
the projector. This automatically resets the projector’s tracking, sync, 
resolution, and position settings. 
If the 
Auto button doesn’t correct the problem, you may need to 
adjust the tracking or sync using the projector’s Signal menu. See 
page 103 for more information.
note
The Auto button works only 
with computer images 
projected through the VGA 
port.

Using 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 20 feet away. 
You can use the remote control to adjust the picture and sound 
(page 29) or to adjust the color mode for various environments 
(page 33). You can also use it as a wireless mouse when projecting 
from a computer (page 35) or as a pointer to highlight your 
presentation (page 36). 
This chapter covers:
■Using the remote control
■Controlling the picture and sound
■Operating your computer with the remote control
■Highlighting your presentation
■Operating two or more projectors with the remote control

							28Using the Remote Control
Using the Remote Control
Follow these tips for using the remote control: 
■Point the remote control at the front of the projector or at the 
screen.
■Stand within 20 feet of the projector. 
■Avoid using the remote under bright fluorescent lamps or in 
direct sunlight, or the projector may not respond properly.
Replacing the Batteries
Replace the batteries as described below: 
1. Turn the remote control over. 
2. Press the tab on the battery cover 
to open it.
3. Install two AA batteries, 
inserting the 
+ and – ends 
as shown.
4. Close the cover, pressing it down 
until it snaps into place.
note
If a button is pressed longer 
than 30 seconds, the remote 
control stops operating to 
conserve power. When you 
release the button, normal 
operation resumes. 
caution
When replacing batteries, 
take the following 
precautions:
■Replace the batteries as 
soon as they run out. If the 
batteries leak, wipe away 
battery fluid with a soft 
cloth. If fluid gets on your 
hands, wash immediately.
■Do not expose batteries to 
heat or flame.
■Dispose of used batteries 
according to local 
regulations.
■Remove the batteries if 
you won’t be using the 
projector for a long period of 
time.  
						

							Using the Remote Control29
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, there are four Source buttons. Use them 
to switch between equipment connected to the port identified on 
each button, or to use EasyMP.
After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the 
image appears. 
						

							30Using the Remote Control
Turning Off the Picture and Sound
You can use the A/V Mute button on the remote control to turn off 
the image and sound. This does the same thing as the A/V Mute slide 
(shown on page 16) and is useful if you want to temporarily redirect 
your audience’s attention. 
■To turn off the picture and sound, press the A/V Mute button. 
The screen turns black. 
■To turn the image and sound back on, press the button again.
You can have the screen turn blue when you press the 
A/V Mute 
button. You can also have an image, such as a company logo, display 
on the screen (see page 108).
Stopping Action
You can use the remote control to stop the action in your video or 
computer image. 
■To stop the action and keep the current image on the screen, press 
the 
Freeze button. The sound continues. 
■To restart it, press the Freeze button again. 
note
This function pauses the 
image, but not the sound. 
Also, because the source 
continues to transmit 
signals, you won’t resume 
the action from the point 
you stopped it.
