navigation  
buttons  
Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other  
than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the  
remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmen-  
tally proper manner.

If you connect the USB portion of the M1-DA computer cable (page 5) you  
can use the up and down arrow navigation buttons to advance slides in a  
PowerPoint presentation.  
Troubleshooting the remote  
Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are  
not dead.  
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not  
the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For  
best results, point the remote at the projector.

hardware device, such as a DVD player, is not syncing properly with the  
projector, select this option to help it sync.  
Overscan: removes noise around the video image.  
BrilliantColor™: produces an expanded on-screen color spectrum that  
delivers enhanced color saturation for bright, true-to-life images. Choose  
Normal Look for most video sources and Bright Look for most computer  
sources. White Peaking: adjusts the white level processed in the image. It  
increases the brightness of whites that are near 100%.  
BrilliantColor

Audio: allows adjustments to the volume and balance, and turns the projec-  
tor’s startup Chime on and off.  
Audio  
Sources: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key  
when using an optional remote. Also allows selection of a default Power-up  
Source and enables or disables Autosource.  
Settings  
Sources>Power-up Source: this determines which source the projector  
checks first for active video during power-up.  
Sources>Autosource: When Autosource is not checked, the projector  
defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If no source is found, a  
blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, Power-up Source  
determines which source the projector defaults to at startup. If no signal is  
present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or  
until power down. When Autosource is selected, the Source Enable fea-  
ture indicates which sources the projector attempts to lock onto. You can use  
the Source Enable feature to eliminate certain sources from this search,  
which will speed the search. By default, the check boxes for all sources are  
checked. Uncheck a source box to eliminate it from the search. When Auto-  
source is not checked, the projector defaults to Computer 1 initially, then  
defaults to whatever source is selected in the Power-up Source menu. To  
display another source, you must manually select one by pressing the  
Source button on the remote or keypad. This cycles through all the sources  
that are selected in the Source Enable menu.

System>OSD Offset: allows you to change the position of the On Screen  
Display items.  
Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent  
screen. Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projec-  
tion.  
Low Power: Turn this on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also  
lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter.  
System  
Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically  
goes into the startup state after power is applied. This allows control of ceil-  
ing mounted projectors with a wall power switch.  
Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or  
“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.

mode. This feature is only available if the USB portion of the computer cable  
is connected to your computer (page 5).  
Power Save: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected  
for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector  
powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers  
down, the image will be displayed.  
Screen Save: automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no sig-  
nals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image returns when  
an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen  
Save is disabled when Power Save is enabled.

keypad to select OK. If the message “Incorrect PIN” appears, verify the code  
and re-enter it. If you mis-enter a number, you must enter 5 numbers and  
press the Select button in order to access the “Incorrect PIN” message and  
re-enter the code.  
To enter the PIN at projector startup:  
Power up the projector. The “Enter PIN” dialog box appears after the star-  
tup screen. Enter the PIN. Use the navigation buttons on the remote or key-  
pad to enter the correct button press sequence. See the description above for

Replacing the projection lamp  
The lamp hour timer in the Service Info menu counts the number of hours  
the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the specified end of the  
lamp’s life, the message “Replace lamp” briefly appears on the screen at  
each startup. When the expected lamp life has been reached, the Lamp indi-  
cator icon lights red (page 12).
