 Operating range of the remote control unit
Point the remote control unit toward the remote control signal receptor on the front or the rear of the Projector to operate
the Projector. Refer to the illustration below for the operating range of the remote control unit.
• The operating distance is within 7 meters (approximately 23.0 feet) from directly in front of the front or rear remote
control signal receptors.
• If strong light is allowed to shine onto the remote control signal receptor, or if there are any obstacles between the
remote control signal receptor and the remote control unit, correct remote control operation may not be possible.
 If facing the remote control unit toward the screen
The Projector can also be operated by pointing the remote control unit toward the screen as shown in the illustration
below.
If facing the remote control unit toward the screen to operate the projector, the operating range of the remote control unit
will be limited by the amount of light reflection loss caused by the characteristics of the screen used.

Standard Setting-up Positions
The screen should be positioned so that it is not directly touched by sunlight or room light as this will wash out the colors
of the picture making it hard to see. When possible, close all blinds, curtains, etc. and dim the lights. Also, the LCD
Projector should be at a 90° angle to the screen for the best picture results. To determine the distance for the desired
size, please refer to the LCD Projector/Screen Relationship Chart below.
(By using the digital variable compression feature, you can increase the throw distance. See page 24.)
• Your LCD Projector is
equipped with an
image reverse feature.
(See page 22.)
LCD Projector /Screen Relative Position Chart
The picture can be adjusted to the desired size within the range of the zoom lens.
(This chart is based on a reduction ratio of 1 time.) The values in the table are reference values.
• If the LCD Projector and the screen are not properly placed, the picture will be distorted
producing a keystoned image as shown at right.

Screen Requirements
This Projector is used to project the image onto flat screens. However, the brightness and viewable range will vary
depending on which type of screen is used.
When selecting a screen, check the characteristics of the screen to ensure that it is suitable for the intended place of
use.
 Screen characteristics (reference)
Screen type
Screen characteristics
White screenThis type of screen can be seen from anywhere,
so there are no limits on the viewing position.
However, the surrounding walls should be
darkened as in a movie theatre, otherwise a
clear picture cannot be obtained.
Silver screenThis type of screen gives a picture which is 2-4
times brighter than a white screen. A variety of
types are available from different manufacturers,
and each type has different brightness
characteristics. Some also have restrictions on
the possible range of viewing positions.
* Care should be taken with screens that have
a high gain, as these types of screen can
cause color distortion at the left and right
edges.
* This type of screen is recommended when the
Projector is suspended from the ceiling.
Beaded screenThis type of screen is similar to the silver
screen, except that no color distortion occurs
at the left and right edges. Moreover, most of
the light is reflected at the same angle as the
angle of incidence.
* This type of screen is recommended when
the Projector is placed on the floor.
Flexible
translucent screenThis type of screen is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
It has the same characteristics as silver screens, but sometimes it can have hot
spots.
This type of screen is made of acrylic plastic.
It is extremely durable and has excellent optical characteristics. It performs in the
same way as silver screens. Rigid-type

• A Polarized screen can not be use for this LCD Projector, because its polarizing effect will add to the polarization
already designed into the Projector (to increase its efficiency). The resulting image will not appear in its true
color.

Press the INPUT button
(LCD Projector) (Remote ControlUnit)
The input source for picture signals and the corresponding audio signals\
 can 
be changed by pressing the INPUT buttons on the Projector operating pane\
l
or on the remote control.
The signal from the source which is connected to the RGB1/YP
BPR
connector is projected. 
This terminal accepts input of RGB input signals from a personal compute\
r 
and DTV Format signals (RGB, YP
BPR) from a DVD or a digital broadcast.
No monitor or Projector can automatically decide whether a Component 
signal is the RGB-type or the YP
BPR-type. So, you will have to select either
RGB or YP
BPR manually.
The signal from the source which is connected to the VIDEO IN connector \
is 
projected.
• To turn off the input signal on-screen display, please see “Turning off the input signal display” on page  34.
• There is only one audio system circuit provided for the VIDEO AUDIO IN terminals for S-VIDEO and  VIDEO signals. Because of this, if using both S-VIDEO signals and VIDEO signals, it wil\
l be necessary to change over the connectors.
• There is only one audio system circuit provided for the AUDIO IN terminals for RGB1/YP
BPR, RGB2,
DVI-D [P T-L759XU only] signals. Because of this, if using both RGB1/YP
BPR,RGB2 signals and DVI-D signals, it will
be necessary to change over the connectors.
• The LCD Projector is shipped from the factory with the S-VIDEO/VIDEO sig\
nal selection function set to “AUTO.” If the correct picture is not projected when VIDEO signal is input and it is ne\
cessary to change the input to match the input 
signal, refer to “S-VIDEO/VIDEO Signal Format Selection” on page  28.
• Please refer to page  39 to change the setting if you change the signal input to the RGB1/YP
BPR connector.
• When RGB signal is input, please input the registered signals found\
 on page  26.
• Please refer to page  40 to change the setting if you change the signal select to the RGB2 IN/RG\
B1 OUT connector.
• When projecting via the DVI-D input, first connect the LCD Projecto\
r to your PC using the DVI cable, and then turn the PC on.
The signal from the source which is connected to the RGB 2 IN/ RGB 1 OUT\
 
terminal is projected. 
This terminal accepts an RGB signal from a PC in addition to a DTV forma\
t
signal (RGB) from a digital broadcast, DVD, etc. And, by setting the terminal 
to OUT, the signal input to the RGB1/YP
BPR connector can be output. At that
time, the projected screen will go to blue back. (See page  40.)
