Remote control effective range Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 15 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not exceed 7 meters (~ 23 feet). Appr ox. 1 5° Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
Positioning your projector Obtaining a preferred projected image size The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in the projected image size. 16:10 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. 16:10 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect display area The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen.
Projection dimensions Refer to "Dimensions" on page 83 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.

Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI jack on the projector. • Using a USB cable 1. Take a USB cable and connect the type A end to the USB output jack of the computer. 2. Connect the mini-B type end of the USB cable to the mini-B USB jack on the projector.
iii. Disconnect the USB cable only when the message says it is safe to remove the hardware. • Do not disconnect the USB cable while the files are being copied, as this could result in loss of data or damage to the projector. • The connection will not end if you have projector files open on the computer. Close all projector files and try again. • Other versions of Windows operate similarly. Follow the correct procedure for removing a USB device from your computer safely for your version of Windows.
Connecting an HDMI source device The projector provides an HDMI input jack that allows you to connect it to an HDMI source device like a Blu-Ray player, a DTV tuner or a display. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners or Blu-Ray player, and transmits signal over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience.
Connecting an MHL source device This projector supports MHL devices (MHL-enabled) through the use of HDMI input jack. You can connect your MHL-enabled mobile device to the projector with an MHL cable to play high-definition video with fluidity. MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) supports uncompressed HD video (1080/30p) and audio (7.1 surround sound) transmission between compatible devices like mobiles phones, tablets and other portable consumer electronics devices and transmits signal over a single cable.
Connecting a component video source device Examine your video source device to determine if it has a set of unused component video output sockets available: • • If so, you can continue with this procedure. If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device. To connect the projector to a component video source device: 1. 2. 3.
Connecting a composite video source device Examine your video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite video output sockets available: • • If so, you can continue with this procedure. If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device. To connect the projector to a composite video source device: 1. 2. 3. Take a video cable and connect one end to the composite video output socket of the video source device.
Connecting an external speaker You can hear sound through an external speaker instead of the internal speakers built into the projector. To connect the projector to an external speaker source device: 1. Connect an appropriate stereo cable to the external speaker and the audio output jack on the projector. When the audio cable is connected to the audio output jack, the internal speaker is muted.
Connecting to an external memory device Connecting an SD card To connect the projector to an SD card: Connect an SD card to the SD card slot on the projector. • The maximum memory capacity supported for an SD(HC) card is 32 GB. (The maximum capacity supported for external memory is based on our factory test. Your experience may differ depending on the manufacturer of the memory device.) • The projector may not be compatible with some SD cards.
• A USB storage device with an automatic recognition application or its own driver might not operate normally. • A USB storage device that uses only a designated driver might not be recognized. • Recognition speed for USB storage device may vary by device. • Do not turn off the product or pull a connected USB storage device out while the USB storage device is in use. Doing so may result in damage to the USB storage device or stored file. • Use a USB storage device which contains normal files.
Operation Starting up the projector 1. Connect the power using the power cord. The Power indicator turns into orange. 2. Press II Power on the projector or remote control to start the projector. The Power indicator lights green when the projector is on. The start up procedure takes several seconds. In the later stage of start up, a startup logo is projected. (If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.
Switching input signal Selecting an input source The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only display one full screen at a time. Press / on the projector or remote control to select your desired input signal. • The input signal type affects the options available for the Picture Mode. See "Selecting a picture mode" on page 35 for details. • The native display resolution of this projector is in 16:10 aspect ratio.
Adjusting the projected image Adjusting the image height The projector is equipped with 2 adjuster feet. These adjusters change the image height. To adjust the projector: • Screw the adjuster feet to adjust the image height. • To retract the feet, screw the adjuster feet in reverse direction. If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal.
Correcting keystone Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at either the top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. Correcting keystone when an image is displayed on the screen: To correct this, besides adjusting the height of the projector, you will need to manually correct it following these steps. 1. 2. Press and then press to highlight Keystone. The Keystone pop-up menu displays.
Securing the projector Utilizing the password function For security purposes and to help prevent unauthorized use, the projector includes an option for setting up password security.

Enter the current password. • If the password is correct, the OSD menu returns to the Security Settings page with “Off” shown in the row of Power on Lock. You will not have to enter the password next time you turn on the projector.
Selecting the aspect ratio The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio. With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.
Optimizing the image Selecting a picture mode The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so you can choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal picture type. To select an operation mode that best suits your need, you can follow the following steps. • • Make sure the input source is on computer, composite video, component or HDMI/MHL mode and the projection screen is being displayed. You may press to open the pop-up menu.
