    Using the remote control
    The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. 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 batteries, be aware that using batteries other 
    than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the 
    remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an 
    environmentally proper manner.
    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).
    Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 14 for shutdown info).
    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 27 for more info on the menus.
    The remote also has a Source button to switch between sources.
    The remote also has:
    •Volume buttons to adjust the sound.
    •Custom button that can be assigned to a special function, like Blank 
    Screen or Freeze (see 
    page 30).
    •Source button to switch between sources.
    •Blank button to blank the screen.
    •Presets button to select stored settings (see page 28).
    •Mute button to silence the audio.
    •Auto Image button to resynch the projector to the source
    •Resize button to switch among aspect ratios (see page 28).
    Troubleshooting the remote
    • Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are 
    not dead.
    • Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not 
    the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For 
    best results, point the remote at the projector.

    Using the audio
    Using the projector’s speakers
    When the computer is using the DisplayLink connector, both audio and 
    video are sent over the USB cable to the projector and audio will play from 
    the projectors speakers.
    For inputs other than DisplayLink, to use the projectors speakers, connect 
    the audio source to the Audio In Computer or Video connectors.
    To adjust the volume, press the Volume buttons on the keypad or remote.
    Troubleshooting Audio
    If you aren’t hearing the audio, check the following:
    • If your computer is using the projectors DisplayLink connector, see the 
    InFocus DisplayLink Manager Users Guide for audio troubleshooting 
    information
    • Make sure the audio cable is connected to the correct Audio In 
    connector, Computer or Video.
    • Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volume button 
    on the keypad or remote.
    • Make sure the correct source is active.
    • Make sure that you are connected to an “audio out” connector on the 
    source as opposed to a “line-in” or “microphone” connector.
    • Adjust the audio source.
    • If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.
    Connecting external speakers
    The projector can be attached to external amplified speakers by connecting 
    a 3.5mm stereo audio cable from the Audio Out connector on the projector 
    to the amplified speakers. Alternatively, you can bypass the projector’s 
    audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or 
    home theater system.
