Remote control information The EMP-7100/5100 can be operated by remote control via infrared (IR) receivers located at the front of the projector. The projector may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions: • The ambient light is too bright. • Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used. • A strong light source shines into the IR receiver. • Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room. These conditions commonly cause problems for most infraredcontrolled equipment. Try the following solutions: • The remote control unit's batteries may be low on power, replace them. • Dim the ambient lighting and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight. • Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct sunlight. • Switch off other equipment that emits infrared energy. Remember, you can always control your computer-based presentation directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions listed above. xiv Introduction

Introduction
Remote control information
The EMP-7100/5100 can be operated by remote control via infrared
(IR) receivers located at the front of the projector. The projector may
not respond to remote control commands under the following
conditions:
The ambient light is too bright.
Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.
A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant
room heater, is in the room.
These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-
controlled equipment.
Try the following solutions:
The remote control unit’s batteries may be low on power, replace
them.
Dim the ambient lighting and/or move the projector out of direct
sunlight.
Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of
direct sunlight.
Switch off other equipment that emits infrared energy.
Remember, you can always control your computer-based presentation
directly from the computer, even in an environment containing one
of the conditions listed above.
