Installation 16 Vidikron Vision 85 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Do not drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature. The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. If that occurs, move the VHD Controller away from the fluorescent lamp. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the VHD Controller or projector. If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones. Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the VHD Controller or projector and repeat the operation. The signal from the remote control can be reflected by walls or other surfaces. Note

Installation 18Vidikron Vision 85 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation TypeChoose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. ➤ Table 3-2.
