Notes on Remote Control Operation 
 ●In most  situations, you can simply point  the  remote  control  at  the  screen which  will  reflect  the  IR signal 
from  the  re-mote back toward  the  IR receiver on the  projector. In some cases, however, ambient  conditions 
may prevent this. If  so, point  the  remote  control  at  the  projector and try  again. 
 
●If  the  effective range of  the  remote  control  decreases, or it  stops working, replace the  batteries with  new ones. 
 
●The remote  control  may fail  to  operate if  the  infrared  remote  sensor is exposed to  bright  sunlight  or fluores- cent lighting. Note:When Native aspect is selected,Zoom is no available
