    Using the remote control
    The remote uses two (2) AAA batteries (not provided). They are easily installed 
    by removing the cover from the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the 
    batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
    Caution: 
    • When replacing the remote batteries, be aware that using batteries other 
    than AAA batteries may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing 
    of the batteries, be sure to do so in an enviromentally proper manner.
    • If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    • Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
    • Ensure the batteries polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly.
    • Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of batter-
    ies together.
    • Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
    • Remove batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a 
    prolonged period.
    To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the computer). 
    The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).

    Troubleshooting the remote
    • Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not 
    dead.

    Using the audio
    Using the projector’s speakers
    Connect the audio source to the Audio 1/Audio 2 connectors to hear audio 
    through the projector speakers.

    Troubleshooting Audio
    If you aren’t hearing the audio, check the following:
    • Make sure the audio cable is connected to the Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on 
    the projector, and that the other end of the cable is connected to an Audio 
    Out connector on the source (not a “line-in” or “microphone” connector).
    • Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volume button on the 
    remote.
    • Make sure the correct source is active.
    • Adjust the audio source.

    3D: allows you to enjoy 3D (stereoscopic) content. Your projector supports Auto, 
    Top-Bottom, Frame Sequential, Frame Packing, Side-by-Side for controlling LCD shut-
    ter glasses. In addition to the projector, you will need a pair of 3D shutter glasses, 3D 
    content, and 3D compatible source. Ensure the glasses you choose are consistent with 
    the synchronization mode you will be using.
    3D Sync Invert: If the image appears to flutter, look odd or if the image depth looks off 
    or you experience eye strain, turn this feature on to see if the image improves.

    image.
    Color Space: applies to computer and component video sources. It allows you to 
    select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the input signal. When Auto is 
    selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources or choose either 
    REC709 or REC601 for component video sources.
    Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed relative 
    warmth value.
    Gamma: select the appropriate gamma from among Video, Film, Bright, and CRT.

    resolution (4:3) as the preferred default resolution. When this is on, the analog locking 
    algorithms choose wide mode resolution (16:10) as the preferred default resolution.
    Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source.
    Prevent PC Screen Saver: prevents your computer from going into Screen Save 
    mode. The projector must be connected to the PC via a USB cable for this feature to 
    work.

    is not syncing properly with the projector, select this option to help it to sync when 
    connected to the projector.
    Tracking: adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source.
    Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of a computer source.
    Video:
    Detect Film: determines whether the original source of the input video was film (pro-
    gressive) or video (interlaced).
    Overscan: removes noise around the video image.
    Set Black Level: analyzes the current input image and calculates an offset value which 
    is then added to the analog to digital converter black level value. This ensures optimum 
    black level for each analog source.

    PIN before you can project an image. Use the Left/Right/Up/Down arrows buttons on 
    the remote or keypad to set a 4-button press sequence. If you enter an incorrect PIN 3 
    times in succession, the projector will automatically shut down. If you lose or forget 
    your custom PIN, contact InFocus Technical Support.
    To enter the PIN at projector startup:
    Power up the projector. The “Enter PIN” dialog box appears after the startup screen. 
    Enter the PIN. Use the Left/Right/Up/Down arrows buttons on the remote or keypad 
    to enter the correct 4-button press sequence. See the description above for instruc

    tions.
    To change the PIN:
    Select “Change PIN...” in the Advanced Menu > Setup > PIN settings menu. Enter the 
    existing PIN. Enter the new PIN.
    Power
    Power Saving Mode: When the Power Saving Mode is On and the projector is in 
    standby (powered off but connected to AC power), external audio and the Monitor 
    Out function will not work.
    AC Power On: When this feature is enabled, the projector automatically turns on 
    when power is connected. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a 
    wall power switch.
    Instant Power On: When this feature is enabled and it has been less than 1 minute since 
    the projector was powered down, you can turn the projector back on immediately. 
    When this feature is disabled, you will need to wait for the projector lamp to com
    -
    pletely cool before restarting the projector.
    Eco Blanking: When this feature is enabled and no video source is sensed, 70% of lamp 
    power is saved and no image is shown. When the video source is again applied, the 
    image is shown immediately.
    Source
    Auto Source: When this feature is On, the projector automatically finds the active 
    source, checking the selected Power-up Source first. When this feature is Off, the pro
    -jector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. To display another source, 
    you must manually select one by pressing the 
    Source button on the remote or keypad 
    and selecting one from the displayed Source menu.
    Power-up Source: determines which source the projector checks first for active 
    video during power-up.
    Search Screen: allows you to display a blank screen instead of the default screen at 
    startup, and when no source is detected.
