Menu and Remote ControlRemote control does not work.Be sure that the proper external source is selected. Check the battery in the remote. If there is something wrong with it, replace it with a new battery of the recommended size. Be sure to aim the remote at sensor on the back of the unit and at a distance of no more than approximately 32.8 feet(10 m). Remove any obstacles between your remote control and the product. Direct light from 3-way light bulbs or other lighting devices on the remote sensor of the projector may affect the sensitivity and cause the remote control to malfunction. Check if the remote control battery compartment is empty. Check whether the LED indicator on the top of the projector is turned on.
I cannot select a menu.Check if the menu is displayed in gray. Gray-colored menu items are unavailable.

Class B (Information Communication equipment for residential use)

This device is registered for EMC requirements for home use (Class B). It can be used in all areas. (Class B equipment emits less electromagnetic waves than Class A equipment.)

The LCD panel used in the LCD projector consists of hundreds of thousands of fine pixels. Like other video display devices, the LCD panel may contain bad pixels which do not operate. When shipping a product, the conditions for identifying bad pixels and the number of bad pixels that a LCD panel is allowed to contain are strictly managed in accordance with the relevant specified standards by the LCD panel manufacturer and our company. Though a screen may have some dead pixels, this does not affect the overall screen quality and the lifetime of the product.

Communication Format (Complies with the RS232C Standard)

Baud rate : 9,600 bps
- parity : None
Data bits: 8, stop bit: 1
- Flow Control : None

Serial Communication Protocol

1. Command Packet Structure [7bytes]

0x080x22cmd1cmd2cmd3valueCS

A command packet consists of 7 bytes in total.
- The two bytes 0x08 and 0x22 signify that the packet is for serial communication.
- The following 4 bytes represent a pre-defined command that can be defined by the user.
- The last byte is the checksum which checks the validity of the current packet.

Header [2 Byte]: Pre-defined values fixed to 0x08 and 0x22.
- Cmd1 [1 Byte]: The first value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Cmd2 [1 Byte]: The second value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Cmd3 [1 Byte]: The third value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
- Value [1 Byte]: Input parameter for the command (Default: 0) (Hexadecimal)
CS [1 Byte]: Checksum (the 2's complement of the sum of all the values except for the CS value.)

2. Response Packet Structure [3 Bytes]

1. Success

0x030x0C0xF1

2. Fail

0x030x0C0xFF
  • When the received packet from an external device has a valid value, a Success packet is sent. Otherwise, a Fail packet is sent.
    A Fail packet is sent if:

The received packet length is not equal to 7 bytes.
- The 2 byte packet header value is not equal to 0 × 08 , 0 × 22 .
The check sum is incorrect.

  • Failure detection by an external device

An external device classifies the packet as Fail if it does not receive a Success packet within 100ms.
