SC-1 Control Panel
The SC-1 control panel includes an IR sensor, two-digit error code window, LCD status 
display and built-in keypad. The built-in keypad provides access to all software controls 
needed for working with the projector. (For more convenient functionality, use a remote 
control or serial commands via the DHD Controller.) 
Figure 2-3 shows the SC-1 control panel.

3.LED STAT US/ERROR CODE WINDOW  
The LED status window displays an active pattern of segments to indicate that the 
projector is changing its state from powered down to powered up. The message “On” 
appears here when the projector has completed its initialization and is ready for use. 
 
 
During an error condition that prevents normal operation, a two-digit code appears 
here to indicate the basic operational state of the projector. Codes are translated in 
the LCD Status Display window; for a complete error code list, refer to 
Error Codes 
on page 98. 
4.SHUTTER  
Press and hold this button for two seconds to toggle the internal mechanical shutter 
blade closed or open. A closed shutter blanks the display (turns it to black). Close the 
shutter to mute all display while maintaining access to projector functions. Opening 
the shutter restores the image.

Remote Control
To install batteries in the remote control, 
press up on the battery cover retainer clip 
and lift off the cover. Install the two AAA 
batteries with the correct polarity and then 
replace the cover. 
Notes on Batteries Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
 Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
 If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid 
damage from battery leakage.
Notes on Remote Control 
Operation
 Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote 
control and the IR receiver on the DHD Controller.
 If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the 
batteries with new ones.
 The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright 
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
 Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this 
happens, point the remote control at the DHD Controller, and repeat the operation.
