Effective Range

To ensure proper function of the remote control follow the steps below:

  1. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30° perpendicular to the projector’s IR remote control sensor(s).
  2. The distance between the remote control and the sensor(s) should not exceed 8 m (26 ft.).

Replacing the Batteries

  1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, open the cover in the direction of the arrow.
  2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
  3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and pushing it back down into position. Stop when it clicks into place.
NOTE:
  • Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in excessive heat or a humid environment.
  • Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
  • If the battery is drained or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the battery to avoid damage to the remote control.
  • Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local environment regulations for your region.

Choosing a Location - Projector Orientation

Personal preference and room layout will decide the installation location. Consider the following:

  • Size and position of your screen.
  • Location of a suitable power outlet.
  • Location and distance between the projector and other equipment.

Using the 3D Function

This portable cinema features a 3D function which enables you to enjoy 3D movies, videos, and sporting events in a more realistic way by presenting the depth of the images. You need to wear a pair of 3D glasses to view 3D images. If the 3D signal is input from an HDMI 1.4a compatible device, the portable cinema detects the signal for 3D Sync information and once detected, it projects images in 3D format automatically.

To activate 3D functions:

  1. When playing videos, press OK and the video control bar will pop up.
  2. Select the 3D settings icon, the 3D Settings menu is displayed in the right bottom corner.
  3. Highlight 3D self detect and change to Auto.
NOTE:
When the 3D Sync function is on:
  • The brightness level of the projected image will decrease.
  • The Color Mode cannot be adjusted.
  • If you discover the inversion of the 3D image depth, set the 3D Sync Invert function to ON to correct the problem.

On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu Options

Image Setting Menu

Menu Option Description
Aspect Ratio The Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices, like this projector, can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.


Auto
Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector’s native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make the most use of the screen without altering the image’s aspect ratio.

4:3
Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV, and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

16:9
Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV.

Auto Keystone Provides a rectangular screen image by automatically adjusting the keystone number when there is a trapezoidal screen image caused by the tilting of the projector.
V Key Stone Keystone can be adjusted manually from -40 to 40.
Brightness The higher the value, the brighter the image. Lower values will result in a darker image.

Contrast Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment.

Projector Position Select the preferred projection position.

Display Mode Menu

Menu Option Description

Read these instructions carefully, keep them in a safe place, and follow all warnings and instructions.

General Safety Precautions

  • During normal operation, warm air and a slight odor may come from the ventilation.
  • When using the projector, avoid direct exposure to the projector’s exhaust vent.
  • Keep the remote control or loose batteries away from children or pets.

Installation

  • Follow the manufacturer's recommended installation guidelines to ensure safe and optimal operation.
  • Leave at least 50 cm (20 in.) of open space around the projector to ensure proper ventilation.
  • Place the projector in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the projector that prevents heat dissipation.
  • Do not place any heavy objects on the projector or cables.
  • Do not place the projector in an unstable location. The projector may fall, resulting in injury or damage.
  • Do not stand the projector upright. The projector may fall, resulting in injury or damage.
  • Do not use the projector near open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces.
  • Do not use the projector near water or in humid conditions and avoid exposing it to rain or moisture.
  • Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
  • Always route and manage cables connected to your projector to prevent tripping, pulling, or grabbing.
  • The projector is designed to operate at 120/240V AC. Unstable voltages can harm the projector. Use a power stabilizer, surge protector, or UPS in areas with frequent power cuts or surges.

Power Cord Safety

  • Do not compress the power cord, particularly at the plug and at the point where it connects to the projector.
  • Do not use the projector if the power cord or plug is damaged.
  • The power cord is designed with a grounding prong to ensure safe operation. Do not remove or damage the grounding prong.
  • Only use the original power cord and do not use damaged or modified cords.
  • Unplug the projector when it will be unused for long periods of time.

Handling

  • When moving the projector, handle it with care to avoid damage or injury.
  • Only use attachments and accessories specifically designed and approved by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and safety.

Troubleshooting

  • If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately turn the projector off and contact your reseller or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the projector.
  • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
  • Do not disassemble the projector. It contains electrical components that can cause shock.

Lens Safety

  • When using the projector, avoid looking directly at the projector lens.
  • Avoid blocking the projection lens when using the projector, as this can cause objects to overheat and potentially ignite.
  • When using the projector, make sure the lens shutter is open and the lens cap is removed.

Lamp Safety

  • Unplug the projector before replacing the lamp assembly or component.
  • Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes before replacing the lamp or performing basic maintenance.
  • Lamps should be replaced at the recommended lifespan to avoid unexpected failure.
