Introduction
Using the Remote Control
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control the
projector within the ranges shown in the illus-
tration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:•Be sure not to drop, expose to moisture or high
temperature.
•The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.

Inserting the Batteries
The batteries (two “AA” size) are supplied in
the package.
1Press the  mark on the cover
and slide it in the direction of the
arrow.
2Insert the batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the 
 and 
marks inside the battery compartment.
3Attach the cover and slide it until
it clicks into place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
 Caution
•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compart-
ment.
•Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore be sure to first wipe them and then remove them
using a cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. Be
sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level (without using the adjustment
feet) to achieve an optimal image.
Setting up the Screen
Note
•The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the
lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly
on the screen washes out the colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when
setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
•A polarising screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See
page 17.)
•The distance from the screen
to the projector may vary
depending on the size of the
screen.Page 17
•The default setting can be used,
when placing the projector in front
of the screen. If the projected im-
age is reversed, readjust the set-
ting to “Front” in the “PRJ Mode”
menu.
Page 51
•Place the projector so that an
imaginary horizontal line that
passes through the centre of the
lens is perpendicular to the
screen.

dience.

Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu.
(See page 51.)
Projection Using a Mirror

Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.

When the translucent screen is placed on between the mirror
and audience, set to “Front” in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See
page 51.)

When the mirror is placed on the audience side, set to “Rear”
in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 51.)
