Using the Remote Control 
Install the 2 AAA batteries in the remote. See page 33 if you need help. 
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or back of the projector. The range 
for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the 
distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best 
results, point the remote directly at the projector.

“widescreen letterbox” or “letterbox” or “enhanced for widescreen” or “anamorphic” appear on the 
back of DVDs. Check for these terms, then see the following table for guidelines for which resize 
option to select for which setup. Following the table is a description of the Resize options. 
 
NOTE: Your viewing preferences may vary from those listed. Cycle through the resize options and 
pick the one you like the best.

Widescreen Letterbox 
preserves the 
16:9 aspect ratio. If you have a 16:9 source and screen, the image fills the screen (Figure 31). If 
you have a 16:9 source and a 4:3 screen, the image is placed in a 4:3 space, so black bars 
appear at the top and bottom of the image. 
 
NOTE: A source that says “Widescreen” usually means the same as “Widescreen Letterbox”.

Video Standard 
 
NOTE: If you already know the video standard used in your geographical area, it’s often best to 
manually select it. 
When Video is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, 
PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL 60 or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The 
video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.)  
The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, PAL-N, and PAL 60 video are similar to other video signals 
and cannot be automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually.  
If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might not look right or the 
image might appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video standard. 
Highlight 
Video standard, press menu/select, use the left or right arrows to cycle through the 
options, then press 
menu/select to select. 
 
Image Menu for Computer Sources 
To access the Image menu settings, press the 
menu/select button to display the Main menu, 
press the down arrow to highlight Image, then press 
menu/select again to access the Image 
menu. 
Resize 
Resize 
allows you to select from among four different re-sizing options. The default is Enhanced 
Widescreen, which preserves the aspect ratio of the original theater version and is designed to be 
used with content that is Enhanced for Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail than 
Widescreen Letterbox. 
Widescreen Letterbox also preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio of the original 
theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 space, so black bars appear at the top and 
bottom of the image. 
Standard resizes the image from its original version to fit a standard 4x3 
aspect ratio screen. 
Native displays the image with no resizing.  
Highlight 
Resize, press menu/select, use the left or right arrow buttons to cycle through the 
options, then press 
menu/select to select. 
Zoom 
This allows you to enter zoom mode without using the remote. Highlight Zoom, press menu/select, 
use the left or right arrow buttons to turn zoom mode on, and then press menu/select. Exit the 
menus to use the zoom feature. The zoom icon appears in the lower right corner. Use the 
key-
stone +
 button to zoom in and use the keystone - button to zoom out. Use the keypad navigation 
buttons on the keypad to pan the zoomed image. To exit zoom mode, either turn the feature off in 
the Image menu or press the 
zoom mode button on the remote. 
Auto Image 
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchronization and vertical and horizontal 
position for most computers. If you want to adjust these features manually, you must turn off 
Auto 
image
 first.  
Highlight 
Auto image, press menu/select, then press the left or right arrow buttons to turn this 
feature off and on.

Manual Sync  
 
NOTE: The Manual Sync, Manual Tracking, Horizontal Position and Vertical Position options are 
available only for analog computer sources. The projector sets these options automatically for digital 
computer and video sources, with no manual override.  
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for most computers. But if the 
projected computer image looks fuzzy or streaked, try turning 
Auto image off then back on again. 
If the image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization manually: 
1. Turn Auto Image off. 
2. Highlight Manual sync, press 
menu/select, use the arrow buttons to adjust Manual sync until 
the image is sharp and free of streaks, then press 
menu/select. 
Manual Tracking  
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video signal from your computer. 
However, if the display shows evenly spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too 
wide or too narrow for the screen, try turning 
Auto Image off then back on again. If the image is 
still bad, try adjusting the tracking manually: 
1. Turn Auto image off. 
2. Highlight Manual tracking, press 
menu/select, use the arrow buttons to adjust Manual tracking 
until the fuzzy vertical bars are gone, then press 
menu/select. 
Horizontal/Vertical Position  
Follow these steps to manually adjust the position: 
1. Turn Auto image off. 
2. Highlight Horizontal position, press 
menu/select, use the arrow buttons to adjust the Horizontal 
position, then press 
menu/select. Repeat for Vertical position, if necessary. 
Positioning adjustments are saved when you turn off the projector.

then press 
menu/select to select.

standard. Choose RGB for computer sources, choose SMPTE240, REC709, or REC601 for 
component video sources.
