higher or lower than, the
infrared receiver.
Note: If the projector doesn’t respond to remote commands, the
room may be too light or a strong light source (such as direct
sunlight) may be hitting the infrared receiver. The presence of a
certain type of fluorescent light or equipment emitting infrared
energy (such as a radiant room heater) can also interfere with
transmission of remote commands.
This table summarizes the functions on the remote control.
