    Using the remote controlThe remote uses two (2) provided AAA batteries. They are easily installed 
    by sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the 
    batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
    To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not 
    at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).
    To use the laser pointer, press and hold the Laser button. The laser turns off 
    when the button is released, or times out after two (2) minutes of continu-
    ous operation.
    WA R N I N G: Do not look into the laser beam emitted from the top of the 
    remote control.
    Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint 
    presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the 
    computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for 
    the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 8 for 
    details on loading the correct USB drivers. 
    The effect button allows you to invoke a user-definable action, such as 
    freeze or blank the screen (see page 32 to learn to program this button).Troubleshooting the remote Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are 
    not dead. When battery power is adequate, the LED at the top of the 
    remote lights when any button is pressed.
     Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the com-
    puter, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
     If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB 
    cable is connected (page 6) and the correct drivers are installed 
    (page 8).

    on the keypad.

    Optimizing computer imagesAfter your computer is connected properly and the computer ’s image is on 
    the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen-
    eral information on using the menus, see page 27.
     Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu. 
     Change the Aspect Ratio. Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to 
    image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV 
    and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your 
    input source. See page 28 for details.
     Adjust the Color Space, Color Temperature, or Color Control in the 
    Advanced menu.
     Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the 
    Advanced menu.
     Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can 
    save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these 
    settings later. See page 29.
    Presentation featuresSeveral features are provided to make it easier to give presentations. The 
    following is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 27.
    The remote’s Effect button allows you to assign various features to the 
    key. The default effect is About, which displays information about the 
    projector and current source. You can select from Blank, Mute, Aspect 
    Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, and About. See page 32 for 
    details. 
     The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is use-
    ful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audi-
    ence seeing them. 
     The Startup Logo and Blank Screen menu options let you change the 
    default startup screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 32.
     Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to auto-
    matically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or 
    display a black screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 31 and 
    page 32.
     A Lamp Mode option is also available to let you optimize lamp bright-
    ness or lamp life. See page 31.

    you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general informa-
    tion regarding menu usage, see page 27.
     Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture 
    menu. See page 28.

    input source. See page 28.
     Select a Sharpness setting in the Advanced menu. See page 30.
     Select a different Color Temperature, or use the Color Control to indi-
    vidually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue color. See 
    page 30.

    of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See 
    page 30.
     Turn overscan on to remove noise around the video image. See page 30. 
     Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can 
    save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these 
    settings later. See page 29.

    page 31 to page 33 for details on these features.

    Using the menusTo open the menus, press the Menu button on the keypad. (The menus auto-
    matically close after 60 seconds if no buttons are pressed.) The Main menu 
    appears. Use the arrow buttons to move up and down to highlight the 
    desired submenu, then press the Select button. 
    To change a menu setting, highlight it, press Select, then use the up and 
    down arrow buttons to adjust the value, select an option using radio but-
    tons, or turn the feature on or off using check boxes. Press Select to confirm 
    your changes. Use the arrows to navigate to another setting. When your 
    adjustments are complete, navigate to Previous, then press Select to go to 
    the previous menu; select Exit or press the Menu button at any time to close 
    the menus. 
    Dots appear before the menu name. The number of dots indicate the menu’s 
    level, ranging from one (the Main menu) to four (the most nested menus). 
    The menus are grouped by usage:
     The Picture menu provides image adjustments.
     The Settings menu provides set-up type adjustments that are not 
    changed often.
     The About menu provides a read-only display of information about the 
    projector and source. 
    Certain menu items may be hidden until a particular source is connected. 
    For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and will be hid-
    den when a computer source is active. Other menu items may be grayed out 
    when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed out until an 
    image is active.
