between the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certain
reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on
the remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

Remote Control Operating Range
The remote control uses infrared transmission to control the projector. It is not necessary to point the
remote directly at the projector. Provided you are not holding the remote perpendicular to the sides
or the rear of the projector, the remote will function well within a radius of about 7 meters (23 feet)
and 15 degrees above or below the projector level. If the projector does not respond to the remote
control, move a little closer.
Projector and Remote Control Buttons
The projector can be operated using the remote control or the buttons on the top of the projector. All
operations can be carried out with the remote control; however, the buttons on the projector are
limited in use. The following illustration shows the corresponding buttons on the remote control and
on the projector.
Remote Control
Some buttons on the projector have two functions. For example, item 6/11 on the projector functions
as both the volume down button and as the left cursor key in OSD menus.
