Getting the Most Out of Your Projector
The projector has a full set of features that allow you to control the settings for video,
audio, power management, display parameters, and much more.  To derive the
greatest utility from your projector, read the following sections for a summary of
these important features.
Remote Control
The buttons on the remote control allow direct and immediate control of the most
commonly used features including source selection, display modes, PIP, keystone
adjustment, volume control, video freeze-frame, zoom, video blanking, audio muting,
and power control.  The remote control buttons can also be used for advanced
functions and to access the projector’s menu system.  The remote controller can be
used as a remote mouse for your PC, and also includes a laser pointer.
Auto Off Mode
The auto off mode conserves power as well as lamp-life by automatically turning off
the lamp if the projector does not detect an input signal for specified period of time
- 30 minutes.  In the auto off mode, the lamp is turned off, conserving electricity,
cooling the projector, and extending the life of the lamp.  Use the Power button on
either the remote controller or the projector control panel to turn the projector on
again if it has powered off.
Sleep Mode
The sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp if the
projector’s lamp is on continuously for a specified period ( 1 to 3 hours).  In sleep
mode, the lamp is turned off, conserving electricity, cooling the projector and extending
the life of the lamp. Use the Power button to turn the projector on and off.
Control Panel
The control panel buttons on the top of the projector offer access to advanced
functions, such as adjusting the brightness and contrast for computer images.
