Using the Help

If a problem occurs with the projector, the Help function uses on-screen displays to assist you in solving the problem. It 
uses a series of menus in a question and answer format. The questions vary depending on the type of image source.

Procedure

1

Press the [Help] button on either the 
remote control or the projector's 
control panel.

The Help menu will be displayed.

2

Select a menu item.

If using the projector's control panel, the 

 and 

 buttons function as the up and down keys.

If using the remote control, press the top or 
bottom of the [Enter] button.

3

Confirm the selection.

Press the 

 button on the projector's control 

panel or the [Enter] button on the remote control 
to accept a selection.
The sub-menu appears.

4

Repeat the operations in steps 2 and 3 
to proceed through the menu to more 
detailed items.

To return to the previous menu, press the [Esc] 
button on either the remote control or the 
projector's control panel. 
You can exit the Help menu at any time by 
pressing the [Help] button on either the 
projector's control panel or the remote control.

If the Help function does not provide a 
solution to the problem, refer to "When 
Having Some Trouble" (p.37) or "When the 
Indicators Provide No Help" (p.39).
