Using the remote control
The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by
removing the cover from the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the
batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
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
environproper manner.
If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
Ensure the batteries' polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly.
Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of
battertogether.
Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
Remove batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a
prolonged period.
The remote also has:
•Volume buttons to adjust the sound.
•Custom button that can be assigned to a special function, like Blank
Screen or Freeze (see page 36).
•Source button to switch between sources.
•Blank button to blank the screen.
•Presets button to select stored settings (see page 34).
•Mute button to silence the audio.
•Auto Image button to resynch the projector to the source
•Resize button to switch among aspect ratios (see page 34).
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.

Using the audio
Using the projector’s speakers
When the computer is using the DisplayLink or HDMI connector, both
audio and video are sent over the USB cable to the projector and audio will
play from the projector's speakers.
For inputs other than DisplayLink and HDMI, to use the projector's
speakers, connect the audio source to the Audio In Computer or Video
connectors.
To adjust the volume, press the Volume buttons on the keypad or remote.
Troubleshooting Audio
If you aren’t hearing the audio, check the following:
• If your computer is using the projector's DisplayLink or HDMI
connector, see the InFocus DisplayLink Software User's Guide on the
website at www.infocus.com/displaylink for audio troubleshooting
information.
• Make sure the audio cable is connected to the correct Audio In
connector, Computer or Video.
• Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volume button on
the keypad or remote.
• Make sure you are connected to the corresponding audio in for your
source. By default, audio in VGA 1/2 corresponds to VGA 1, VGA 2
and LitePort, audio in composite s-video corresponds to S-video and
Composite. You can changes these assignments, see page 36.
• Make sure that you are connected to an “audio out” connector on the
source as opposed to a “line-in” or “microphone” connector.
• Adjust the audio source.
• If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.
Connecting external speakers
The projector can be attached to external amplified speakers by connecting
a 3.5mm stereo audio cable from the Audio Out connector on the projector to
the amplified speakers. Alternatively, you can bypass the projector’s audio
system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home
theater system.
NOTE: DisplayLink and HDMI audio is passed to the Audio Out connector.
