How to Use the Remote Control
zIf the remote control has to be brought closer to the projector to operate, it means that the batteries are wearing out. When this 
happens, replace the batteries.  Insert the batteries according to the +- marks.
zBe sure to insert the - end first.
zIf an error occurs when using the remote control, remove the batteries and wait for 5 minutes. Load the batteries again and 
operate the remote control.

Effective Range of Remote Control Unit
„When directing the remote control 
toward this unit
z
When aiming the remote control towards the 
remote sensor on this unit, ensure that the 
distance to the sensor in front or at the rear of 
this unit is within 7 m.
zIf the remote control fails to work properly, 
move closer to this unit.
„When reflecting off a screen
z
Ensure that total of distance A between this 
unit and screen and distance B between 
remote control and screen is within 7 m.
zAs the efficiency of signals reflected from the 
remote control unit differ with the type of 
screen used, operable distance may 
decrease.

...............................About Cool Down mode
z
The Cool Down mode is a function 
to cool down the lamp for 
approximately 60 seconds after 
projection is complete.
This function prevents the internal 
parts of the unit from deformation 
or damage due to overheating of 
the lamp. It also prevents lamp 
blowout and premature shortening 
of lamp life.
zDuring Cool Down mode, the 
[STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in 
red.
zAfter the Cool Down mode is 
complete, the unit automatically 
returns to standby mode.
zDo not pull out the power plug 
during Cool Down mode. This may 
shorten the lamp life and cause a 
malfunction.

3Basic Operation
Convenient Features during Projection
The projected image can be set to a most appropriate screen size (aspect 
ratio). 
z
The screen size can also be set from “Aspect” of the setting menu. (pP27 - S)
zWhen high definition images are input, the “V-Stretch” setting will be available 
instead. (pP27 - T)
zWhen PC signals are input, the “PC Resize” setting will be available instead.       
(pP27 - U)
„Input Image and Projected Image by Different Screen Size Settings
z
Depending on the input image, selecting “4:3” may result in a vertically stretched 
image while selecting “16:9” provides you with the most appropriate screen size.
Images for which quality at the outer area has deteriorated can be projected 
by masking (hiding) the surrounding area of the projected image.
AProject the image
You can change the screen size of the projected image or hide the surrounding area of an image for which 
quality at the outer area has deteriorated.
