How to use the Remote Control

The supplied Remote Control is capable of directly control- ling the functions of the McIntosh MDLP2 Video Projector and VP1000 Video Processor. For additional information on the various video adjustments and their purpose, please refer to the “How to Operate the MDLP2” section of this manual starting on page 22.

Note: At times it might appear the selected function is not re- sponding when using the Remote Control. This can be due to the Input selected, the presence of a video signal for that input and the Picture Mode selected. Please refer to page 22 for additional information.

Device Selection

This Remote Control is used to operate the McIntosh MDLP2 Video Projector and the VP1000 Video Processor. When using the Remote Control with the MDLP2, first press the DEVICE PROJector push-button and then press the push-button for the desired function. It is only required to press the DEVICE PROJector push-button once, un- less the Remote Control is also being used to control the VP1000 Video Processor.

When the Remote Control is being used to control both McIntosh Components, either the DEVICE PROCessor or the DEVICE PROJector push-button would need to be pressed first, before sending

commands to the desired compo- nent.

Note: When any of the Push-but-

tons in the adjacent illustra-

tion are pressed, the Remote Control automatically switches to sending VP1000 Video Processor IR Codes.
