Using the Remote Control

T

he projector includes a number of tools to enhance your

presentation. All of them can be accessed using the remote control,
which lets you operate the projector from anywhere in the room—up
to 33 feet away.

You can use the remote control to adjust the picture and sound
(page 34) or as a pointer to highlight your presentation (page 43). You
can also use it to make automatic color corrections that let you project
images onto any surface (page 40) or as a wireless mouse when
projecting from a computer (page 41).

This chapter covers:

■

Turning on and using the remote control

■

Controlling the picture and sound

■

Projecting images without a screen

■

Operating your computer with the remote control

■
