Remote Control
Operating Range
The remote control may not operate beyond certain distances and angles from
the receiver on the projector. Observe the following conditions during use.
[Operating Distance : Approximately 393.70inches (10m) ]
[Operating Area:]
Horizontally
Vertically
Tip:
• The remote control R/C switch must be switched to "On" to use the remote control.
• Point the remote control towards the remote control receiver on the projector unit.
• Certain screens may shorten the operating distance (approximately 393.70inches
(10m) ) of the remote control when the control is pointed towards the screen to reflect
its signal during use.
• Situate the remote control receiver out of direct sunlight, fluorescent light, and
similar light sources.
These may cause the remote control to malfunction.
• If the remote control malfunctions or stops operating, the batteries may need
changing.
Replace the batteries with a fresh set.

Connecting to a Computer
Computers which can be connected
Some computer models may not allow connection, and others may allow
connection but not projection.
Make sure that the specifications of the computer you are using for connection
meet the following two requirements.
[The computer must have a video signal output port]
Make sure that the computer has a port that outputs a video signal.
A port that outputs a video signal is called an "RGB port", "monitor port", or
"video port" or the like.
Consult the section describing "connection to an external monitor" or the like
in the instruction manual for the computer that you are using, and make sure
that the computer has a video signal output port.
Computers with an integrated monitor and other components as well as
laptop computers may require separate purchase of an external output port.
In other cases, an external output port cannot be attached.
[The resolution and frequency of the computer must be within the range of
specifications shown on the following page]
The resolution and frequency of the video signal output by your computer
must be compatible with your projector in order to allow projection (some
computers allow partial projection, but clear projection cannot be obtained).
Check the resolution and frequency of the video signal in the instruction
manual of the computer you are using for projection.
