Aiming the Remote Control

Infrared (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees of the pro-jection screen or the projector’s IR remote control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensors should not exceed 6 meters (19.5 feet).

hp-vp-6200-Series-Digital-Projector (7)Notes on Remote Control Operation:
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the Battery in the Remote Control

  1. Using a ballpoint pen, push and hold the bat-tery latch toward the center, then pull out the battery holder.
  2. Remove the old battery from the battery holder.
    hp-vp-6200-Series-Digital-Projector (8)
  3. Insert the new battery in the holder.
  4. Push the holder into the remote control.

Avoid excessive heat and humidity. There may be danger of an explo-sion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recom-mended by the manufacturer. Dis-pose of the used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation

Choosing a Location

Your projector is designed to be installed in the four installation configurations shown here. Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation configuration you use.

hp-vp-6200-Series-Digital-Projector (9)

For further information on the four configurations, please refer to page 29.
If you place the projector above or below the screen, you have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen, in these situations, image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See page 22 for keystone correction.

Adjusting the Height

The projector is equipped with 1 quick-release adjuster foot and 2 rear adjuster feet. These adjusters change the image height and projection angle. To adjust the projector,

  1. Lift the projector up and press the adjuster button to release the adjuster. The adjuster will drop into position and be locked. It can lift the projector by up to 15 degrees.
  2. Screw the rear adjuster feet to fine tune the horizontal angle.

hp-vp-6200-Series-Digital-Projector (10)

Press the adjuster button again to retract the foot.
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of Keystone in the Picture menu, on the projector control panel or on the remote control.

Screen Size
