Using the remote controlThe remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by 
sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the bat-
teries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not 
at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).
Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint 
presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the 
computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for 
the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 10 for 
details on loading the correct USB drivers.
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector ’s menu system. Use 
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and 
adjust values in the menus. See page 29 for more info on the menus.
The remote also has a Powe r button to turn the projector on and off (see 
page 16 for shutdown info), Vo l u m e and Mute buttons to control the sound, 
and Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources.
Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button 
to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which 
color is displayed, see page 34); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin-
able action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 35 to learn to program this but-
ton).
Troubleshooting the remote Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are 
not dead. The LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is 
pressed when the battery power is adequate.
 Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the com-
puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
 If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB 
cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers 
are installed.

Optimizing computer imagesAfter your computer is connected properly and the computer ’s image is on 
the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen-
eral information on using the menus, see page 29.

if in a bright room (page 31). 
Presentation featuresSeveral features are provided to make giving presentation easier. The fol-
lowing is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 29.

key. The default effect is Freeze. You can select from Blank, Mute, 
Aspect Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, About, PiP, and Mask.

 The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is use-
ful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audi-
ence seeing them. 
The Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen 
instead of the active source. See page 34.
 The PiP effect lets you show a video source in a smaller window on top 
of the computer image. See page 35.
 The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup 
screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 34.
 Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to auto-
matically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or 
display a blank screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 33.

nected. For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and will 
be hidden when a computer source is active. Other menu items may be 
grayed out when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed 
out until an image is active.
