Remote sensor on projector cabinet
7m/22 feet
•  The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 7 m (22 feet) and within a 60-degree 
angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
•  The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light 
falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector. NOTE: The LV-7260 and LV-X7 do not have the remote sensor on the rear panel.30°
