Remote Control Parts
Important:Avoid using the projector when bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the p\
rojector. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the remote signal off certain reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
