Preparing the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
When using the remote control for the first time, install the batteries that were supplied.
When replacing batteries, purchase two of the same type of AA battery.
Press and at the same time lift
the battery case cover at the
rear of the remote control to
remove it.
1
Follow the markings on the inside
of the case and insert the batter-
ies in the correct plus (+) and mi-
nus (-) directions.
2
First insert the tabs of the battery
case cover, then press it closed.

Remote Control Range
Point the remote control toward the remote control sensor located at the rear of the main unit and operate.
The range over which the main unit will receive the remote control signal is roughly as follows: within 30˚ above and 30˚ below a
line perpendicular with respect to the sensor and within 50˚ to the left and 50˚ to the right. The transmission range is about 7 m /
23.0 feet.

Approximately 7 m / 23.0 feet
Note:
* Exposure of the main units remote control sensor or the remote control transmitter to bright light or the obstruction of the signal by an obstacle located in the
pathway may prevent operation.
* The remote control will not function when the batteries are exhausted.

Placement Guide
Use this information as a guide to find the rough screen size when the projector is placed at a certain location, or to find out the
approximate size of a screen that will be required.
The projection distance over which focussing is adjustable is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) to 6.9 m (22.6 feet) from the Lens surface of the main
unit. The projector should be placed within this range.

Note:
* Projection distances marked with a 
 in the table are a guide to the distance when an
image of 16:9 aspect ratio (i.e., output size 848480) is projected to fill a screen
width of 4:3 aspect ratio.
*
Determine the screen size after checking the height and width of the room in which the screen
will be installed as well as checking that there are no obstacles located in the path between the
lens and the screen.
* The larger the screen size becomes, the darker the image will be.
Placing the projector to the rear of the screen to project the image will require the use
of a translucent type screen.
*
The height from the feet of the main unit to the center of the lens is 72 mm (2.8 inch).*The projection table is based on an aspect of 4:3 (i.e., the ratio of screen width to height).* There is a tolerance of ±5% due to design values.
Note:
* Do not install in location that will reach high or low temperatures. [Operation temperature: within 5˚C (41˚F) to 35˚C (95˚F)]
* To raise the projection screen position, place the unit on a stable and strong support.
* Bright light that enters the remote control sensor may prevent proper remote control operation.
* Make efforts to ensure that sunlight or room illumination does not strike the screen. The more such extraneous light is shielded, the higher the contrast and more
attractive the image that will be obtained.

This projector uses an output size of 848480 pixels for home theater appli-
cations and enables the projection of a high definition 16:9 aspect ratio.
The 16:9 aspect ratios marked with a [*] in the above table are values with an
output size of 848
480.
When establishing a fixed installation, please exercise care since the projec-
tion distance will be shorter than that of the normal 16:9 aspect ratio (800
450
output size).
Note that when an installation has been established to project a full screen at
this setting, other input screens will be projected smaller than the screen
size.

Adjustment of the Projection Screen
Operations include the adjustment of the image position that is projected to the screen and the adjustment of the focus as well as
the input selection and the selection of the aspect ratio.
Perform these operations with the power of the connected equipment switched on and the video signal input to the projector.
 6  Projection Screen Position Adjustment
1
Adjust the projection image to the screen
(1) If the image is shifted to the left or right, move the main unit horizontally. (Align the center of the screen and the center of
the lens of the main unit.)
(2) If the image is shifted vertically, move the image up or down with the adjuster.
(3) A projection image such as that illustrated in the diagram is the result of the projector not being perpendicular to the
screen. Set the projector so that it is pointing straight toward the screen.
(4) If the image shows keystone distortion, adjust using menu operations. → Page E-33 Adjustment of Keystone Distortion
