5-1. How to Operate the Remote Control
The remote control keypad (Figure 5-1) has the same buttons as the projector control panel, plus additional
buttons to control different projector and mouse functions (mouse receiver must be connected). To use the
remote control, aim the remote toward the projection screen and press the desired button. The remote signal
will bounce off of the projection screen (Figure 5-4) and back to the sensor on the MP8020 or mouse receiver.
Note
For best results, always use fresh batteries in the remote control. If all of the buttons illuminate and do not
shut off after 5 seconds, the batteries may need to be replaced. See “Replacing the Batteries.”
Remote Control Buttons
The remote control transmitter has two operating conditions that are indicated by a red LED lamp. If the LED
is OFF, the remote is in the NORMAL mode of operation and will control normal projector and mouse button
functions. If the LED is FLASHING, the remote is in the MENU mode of operation and will control the
trackball used to make changes to on-screen menus.
Note
When the MP8020 projector is in the MENU mode (on-screen Menu is being
displayed), the remote control must also be in the MENU mode (LED is flashing)
or the remote control buttons will not operate properly. Press and hold the
MENU button for two seconds to switch the remote to the MENU mode.
LED is Off – the remote is in the Normal mode. When a normal
video or computer image is being displayed and the LED is off, the
remote buttons control normal projector functions (volume, focus, etc.)
and normal mouse functions (left/right, trackball, drag) for the computer
(RGB) input source.
LED is FLASHING – the remote is in the MENU mode. When an
on-screen menu is being displayed and the LED is flashing, the remote
trackball controls the cursor movement for making changes to the menu.
The LED will automatically stop flashing and return to the normal mode
after five seconds of inactivity.
Switches the projector between projection (power on, lamp on) and
standby (power on, lamp off) modes.
Selects the desired input source. Press VIDEO for video sources or
RGB for computer input sources.
Press and hold down for five seconds to display the total number of
hours of lamp usage for the current lamp (NORMAL operating mode)
or press to return the picture adjustment settings to the factory defaults
(MENU operating mode). See MENU button. Also used with
TIMER button.
