Connecting the Remote Control to the Projector
When the remote control cannot be used due to the range or positioning of the projector, connect a ø3.5 mm 
minijack cable (commercially available) from the WIRED R/C JACK on the top of the remote control to the WIRED 
REMOTE control input terminal on the rear of the projector.

Using the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
1  Pull down the tab on the cover 
and remove the cover towards 
the direction of the arrow.
2  Insert the supplied batteries and 
put back the cover. 
• Make sure the polarities correctly match 
the
 and  marks inside the battery 
compartment.
• When putting back the cover, be sure that 
the cover clicks in place and settles.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control 
the projector within the ranges shown in the 
illustration.
Note
• The signal from the remote control can be 
refl  ected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may 
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:
• Be sure not to drop, expose to moisture or high 
temperature.
• The remote control may malfunction under a 
fl  uorescent lamp. In this case, move the projec-
tor away from the fl uorescent lamp.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
Caution• Danger of explosion if bettery is incorrectly replaced.
  Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the 
 and  marks inside the battery compartment.
• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
  This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•
Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fl uid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore be sure to fi rst wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.
• The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. 
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not to use the remote control for a long time.
• Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.

Setting Up the Projector
Setting Up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet fl at and 
level.
Note
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through 
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing diffi cult.
• For optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly 
on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing diffi cult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when 
setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
■  Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size.
Example of standard setup
Note
• For details, refer to “Picture (Screen) Size and Projection Distance” on page 16.

Picture (Screen) Size and Projection Distance
The projection screen size varies according to the distance from the lens of the projector to the screen. Install 
the projector so that projected images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size by referring to the 
table below. Use the values in the table as a reference when installing the projector.
When using a wide screen (16:9): In case of displaying the 16:9 picture on the whole of the 16:9 screen.
x:  Picture size (diag.) (inches)
L1 :  Maximum Projection distance (ft/m)
L2 :  Minimum Projection distance (ft/m)L1 = (0.05593x – 0.05550)/0.3048 (ft)

Note
• Allow a margin of error in the value in the diagrams above.
• When the distance from the lens center to the bottom of the image (H) is a negative number, this indicates
that the bottom of the image is below the lens center.

Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices 
to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector
HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable. 
Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an amplifi er or other audio device.
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI 
standards may result in a malfunction.
Note
• HDMI  (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-defi nition video 
signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.
• Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the digital 
video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple connection can 
be enjoyed.

Connecting to Video Equipment
Note
• When connecting the projector to the video equipment in this way, select “Signal Type” in the “Options” 
menu. See page 44.
• When a DVI to HDMI conversion cable is connected to the HDMI terminal, a proper picture may not be 
displayable.
