19Vidikron Vision Model 30 Owner’s Operating Manual Installation Remote ControlTo remove the battery cover, press in then pull up the small plastic clip holding it in place. Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover. About the 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. About the Remote Control • Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the projector. • The usable range is up to 8 meters (26.25 feet) within a 45-degree horizontal angle and a 15-degree vertical angle. • 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 impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.
20Vidikron Vision Model 30 Owner’s Operating Manual Installation Installation Type Installation Considerations Screen Type and SizeProper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation Advantages Considerations • Easy to set up • Can be moved or changed quickly • Easy to access • Shares floor space with audience Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation Advantages Considerations • Does not take up audience space • Projector is unobtrusive • Projector cannot be accidentally moved • Installation is more permanent • It is more difficult to access the projector Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation Advantages Considerations • Projector is completely hidden • Projector is easily accessed • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation Advantages Considerations • Projector is completely hidden • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror Advantages Considerations • Projector is completely hidden • Usually good ambient light rejection • Requires less space behind screen than other rear screen installations • Requires separate room • Installation cost is usually higher Front Screen Installations In front screen installations the projector and audience are positioned in front of the screen, which can be flat or curved. Flat screens are recommended with this projector. They offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. This type of screen reflects incident light equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles. Curved screens have a gain greater than 1 with a viewing angle much less than 180°. This type of screen does not reflect incident light equally in all directions; instead, it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience sitting within the viewing cone area sees a brighter image than those sitting just outside this area. Vidikron generally does not recommend use of curved screens due to excessive brightness and uncorrectable geometrical distortion.
