Using the remote control for the first time Pull the tab before using the remote control. 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 30 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 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Choosing a location Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Your projector is designed to be installed in one of the possible installation locations: 1. Front Table 3.
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. 4:3 is the native aspect ratio of EX321U/EX241U. To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3. If you have a 4:3 screen, refer to the table labeled "(Standard)". If you have a 16:9 screen, refer to the table labeled "(16:9)". Select your image size. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your image size in the left columns labeled "Image size". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labeled "Distance from the screen: L".
