Projector to Viewing Screen Alignment
The size of the projection screen and the distance of the projector to the screen are important considerations for
determining the best placement of the projector.  After the best projector to screen distance has been
determined,  the position of the projection screen in relation to the center of the projection lens must be
considered.

Figure 3-15. Side View
Measured from the center of the projection lens (Figure 3-14), the projected image should be split equally left
to right.  For best results, rotate the projector until the image on the projection screen is perpendicular (905)
from the lens.
Measured from the center of the projection lens, the top to bottom projected image (Figure 3-15) is projected
with most of the image above the center of the lens and a small amount below the center of the lens.  The
position of the projected image to the center of the lens is an important consideration for the vertical placement
of the projection screen.
Use the table below to calculate the approximate distance (refer to ªbº in Figure 3-15) from the center of the
lens to the bottom of the projected image.   Both normal and ceiling mount applications are affected by this
distance.

Section 5: Remote Control
5-1. How to Operate the Remote Control
The remote control keypad (Figure 5-1) has the same buttons as the projector control panel, plus additional
buttons to control different projector and mouse functions (mouse receiver must be connected).  To use the
remote control, aim the remote toward the projection screen and press the desired button.  The remote signal
will bounce off of the projection screen (Figure 5-4) and back to the sensor on the MP8020 or mouse receiver.
Note
For best results, always use fresh batteries in the remote control.  If all of the buttons illuminate and do not
shut off after 5 seconds, the batteries may need to be replaced.  See ªReplacing the Batteries.º
Remote Control Buttons
The remote control transmitter has two operating conditions that are indicated by a red LED lamp.  If the LED
is OFF, the remote is in the NORMAL mode of operation and will control normal projector and mouse button
functions.  If the LED is FLASHING, the remote is in the MENU mode of operation and will control the
trackball used to make changes to on-screen menus.
Note
When the MP8020 projector is in the MENU mode (on-screen Menu is being 
displayed), the remote control must also be in the MENU mode (LED is flashing) 
or the remote control buttons will not operate properly.  Press and hold the 
MENU button for two seconds to switch the remote to the MENU mode.
LED is Off ± the remote is in the Normal mode.  When a normal 
video or computer image is being displayed and the LED is off, the 
remote buttons control normal projector functions (volume, focus, etc.) 
and normal mouse functions (left/right, trackball, drag) for the computer 
(RGB) input source.
LED is FLASHING ± the remote is in the MENU mode.  When an 
on-screen menu is being displayed and the LED is flashing, the remote 
trackball controls the cursor movement for making changes to the menu.  
The LED will automatically stop flashing and return to the normal mode 
after five seconds of inactivity.
Switches the projector between projection (power on, lamp on) and 
standby (power on, lamp off) modes.

Using the Mouse Buttons
The mouse receiver must be connected before the remote control buttons will operate the mouse functions.
See Mouse Receiver Connection.
Note
Remember to reboot the computer after the mouse receiver has been connected.
There are three mouse buttons L-Left, R-Right and DRAG and a TRACKBALL for controlling mouse
functions.  See Figure 5-3.  When the MENU button is in the normal operating mode, these buttons perform
the same functions as the mouse buttons.  When the MENU button is in the MENU mode the L-Left and
DRAG buttons are disabled.
TRACKBALL
: The trackball controls the position of the on-screen cursor or pointer.
L ± Left Mouse Button
: In NORMAL operating mode, this button has the same 
function as a left mouse button.  In MENU  mode, this button is disabled.
R ± Right Mouse Button
: In NORMAL operating mode, this button has the same 
function as a right mouse button.  In MENU mode (video image and flashing 
LED), this button will light all of the remote control buttons for five seconds.
Note
If the backlighting does not shut off in five seconds, this is an indication of 
low batteries.
DRAG
: Use this button to hold and drop an object so it can be moved to a new 
position on the screen.  This button is disabled in MENU mode.
a.Press and release the DRAG button to select a highlighted object (similar to pressing down and
holding a normal mouse key button).
b.Use the TRACKBALL to move the object to a new position.
c.Press the DRAG button again to release the object.
Mouse Receiver
 Set the mouse receiver on top of the MP8020 projector with the sensor facing the projection screen.  Point the
remote control at the projection screen to bounce the signal off of the screen and back to the mouse receiver.
Note
The mouse receiver must be positioned so that the remote control
signal can enter the sensor.  You can either bounce the signal off of
the projection screen or rotate the mouse receiver to aim the remote
directly at it.  Aiming the remote directly at the receiver will
increase the effective signal distance.
For best results, always use fresh batteries in the remote control
transmitter.  
Replacing the Batteries
The remote control uses three AAA batteries.  The battery cover is located on the back of the remote control.
Slide the door open to access the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity (+/±) on each battery matches
the decal in the battery compartment.
Batteries Low: All the buttons on the remote control will illuminate when the batteries are low in power and
need to be replaced.
