Replacing the Batteries
The remote control uses two AA alkaline batteries. Follow these steps 
when you need to replace them:
1. Press in the tab to remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the old batteries, then insert the new ones as shown.
3. Replace the battery cover. (It should click into place.)
caution
When replacing batteries, 
take the following 
precautions:
■Replace the batteries as 
soon as they run out. If a 
battery leaks, wipe away 
battery fluid with a soft 
cloth. If fluid gets on your 
hands, wash them 
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 
remote control for a long 
period of time. 
note
The remote control 
automatically shuts off when 
it detects a button being 
pressed more than 
30 seconds. This conserves 
battery life. It can be 
helpful, for example, when 
the remote is in a carrying 
case and the P
Power 
button is accidentally 
pushed.

■Auto Setup (computer images)
Leave this setting 
On to automatically optimize the computer 
image. Turn it off if you want to save adjustments you have 
made to the video settings.

resolution of the input signal. If necessary, select 
Wide (for 
widescreen images) or 
Normal (for 4:3 ratio images).
■Tracking (computer images)
Removes unwanted vertical lines from a computer image by 
matching the projector’s internal clock to various computer 
signals. See page 88 for more information.

■Position
Use the arrow buttons to move the image on the screen left, 
right, up, or down.
■Progressive (video images)
Leave this setting 
On when viewing S-Video or composite 
video so that interlaced-to-progressive conversion is carried 
out (best for fast-moving pictures). If you notice flickering 
while viewing still images, or you are using a component with 
a 480i signal, switch this setting to 
Off.
■Computer Input (1 or 2)
Selects the signal from equipment connected to the 
Computer1 or Computer2 ports. If your image colors look 
wrong, try changing this setting from 
Auto to one of the 
following: 
RGB for computer or RGB video sources, or 
Component for component video sources.
