Introduction
Projector features
The projector integrates high-performance optical engine projection and a user-friendly 
design to deliver high reliability and ease of use.
The projector offers the following features.
• Dynamic mode adjusting the power consumption of the lamp according to the 
brightness of the image being projected
• Power saving function decreasing the power consumption of the lamp by up to 70% 
when no input signal can be detected for a set period of time.
• Presentation timer for better control of time during presentations
•
LAN Settings allowing management of projector status from a remote computer
• Supports 3D display
•Color Management allowing color adjustments to your liking
• Less than 0.5W power consumption when power saving mode is turned on
• Screen Color correction allowing projection on surfaces of several predefined colors
• Quick auto search speeding up the signal detecting process
• Color modes providing choices for different projection purposes
• Selectable quick power off function
• One-key auto-adjustment to display the best picture quality
• Digital 2D keystone correction and 4 corner adjustment to correct distorted images
• Adjustable color management control for data/video display
• Ability to display 1.07 billion colors
• Multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD) menus
• Switchable normal and economic modes to reduce the power consumption
• Component HDTV compatibility (YP
bPr)
• HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function allows synchronized power ON/
OFF operation between the projector and a CEC-compatible DVD player device 
connected to the HDMI input of the projector
The apparent brightness of the projected image will vary depending on the ambient lighting 
conditions, selected input signal contrast/brightness settings, and is directly proportional to 
projection distance.
The lamp brightness will decline over time and may vary within the lamp manufacturers 
specifications. This is normal and expected behavior.

The laser pointer is not a toy. Parents should be mindful of the dangers of laser energy and 
keep this remote control out of the reach of children.

there will be no response from the remote control. When that 
happens, switch the code for the remote control again.
Using the remote mouse control
The capability of operating your computer with the remote control gives you more 
flexibility when delivering presentations.

mouse related multi-function keys.
Remote control effective range
The Infra-Red (IR) remote control is located on the front 
of the projector. The remote control must be held at an 
angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projectors 
IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The 
distance between the remote control and the sensor should 
not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote 
control and the IR sensor on the projector that might 
obstruct the infra-red beam.

Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. 
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power 
outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your 
equipment.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of the following 4 possible installation 
locations:
1. Front Table
Select this location with the projector placed near 
the floor in front of the screen. This is the most 
common way to position the projector for quick 
setup and portability.
2. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended 
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the projector ceiling mount kit from your 
dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETTING: 
BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn 
the projector on.
3. Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended 
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the 
projector ceiling mounting kit are required for this 
installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETTING: 
BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn 
the projector on.
4. Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed near 
the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is 
required.
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETTING: 
BASIC > Projector Position menu after you turn 
the projector on.
