Notes on Remote Control Operation 
 
y In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will reflect the IR signal from the re-mote back 
toward the IR receiver on the projector. In some cases, however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote 
control at the projector and try again. 
 
y If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. 
 
y The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting.

STEP 1STEP 2STEP 3
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it. 
2.  Install two AA batteries with the correct polarity. 
3.  Replace the cover.
Notes on Batteries
 
y Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries. 
 
y Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries. 
 
y If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage.

Installation Considerations
Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projec-
tor temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs 
optimally.
Ambient Light
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably 
reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. 
Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.
Requires separate room Installation cost is usually higher.
Throw Distance
Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in 
any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a de-sired 
screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking 
the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see the image as following. The result of this calcula-
tion tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused im-
age large enough to fill the screen.
Screen Width (W)
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (TR)
Throw Distance (TD)
Two models of the D8800/D8900/D8010W are available, one with 1.56-1.86:1 lens and the other with 1.85-2.40:1 lens 
With optional zoom adaptors throw ratios of 1.24 – 3.0 can be achieved. The standard D8800/D8900/D8010W offer 
throw ratios between 1.85:1 and 2.40:1. With the optional, short-throw lens, the D8800/D8900/D8010W offer throw 
ratios between 1.56:1 and 1.86:1.

Modes of installation
 
„ Frontal projection - desktop installation
Advantages:    easy to install can be easily moved or adjusted 
easy to operate.
Disadvantage:   occupies floor space and limits seating 
capacity.
Projec tor
 
„ Rear projection - desktop installation
Advantage:    the projector is completely hidden from plain 
view the projector can be easily operated this 
setup usually offers better reduction of ambi-
ent noise.
Disadvantage:   requires an additional room for installation 
relatively higher costs for installation.
Projec tor
 
„ Frontal projection - ceiling mode
Advantage:   does not occupy floor space does not draw 
attention to it. Eliminates the possibility that 
someone would accidentally move the projec-
t o r.
Disadvantage:   stricter installation requirements and 
conditions; care should be taken during 
the installation to ensure the projector has 
been securely mounted. Operation of the 
projector becomes inconvenient without the 
remote control.

Lens Shift
Vertical Lens Shift
The D8800/D8900/D8010W have a lens shift capability which allows the vertical movement of the image without mov-
ing the projector. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height. For ceiling mounted projectors, 
the lens can be moved 50% (0.6V) downward, while the lens can be moved 50% (0.6V) up or down on a desktop mount -
ed projector.

Horizontal Lens Shift
The D8800/D8900/D8010W have a lens shift capability which allows the horizontal movement of the image without 
moving the projector. The lens can be moved 10% (0.1H) to the right or left within the housing.

Connecting the projector to other devices.
Proceed as follows to connect the D8800/D8900/D8010W to your video sources, external controller(s) - if present - and 
AC power. When connecting your equipment: •Use the correct signal cables for each source. •Ensure that the cables are 
securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them. Connecting Source Components to the 
D8800/D8900/D8010W Connect your video sources to the D8800/D8900/D8010W as shown and described in the sec-
tions that follow.

IR Input connection
If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the projector due to excessive distance or obstructions such as 
walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external IR repeater system to the IR INPUT on the D8800/D8900/D8010W to 
extend the range of the remote control.
