FAQ:
Q: How well will this work with an Elmo document camera for classroom use?
A: According to a satisfied customer who is a teacher and has been using it for two years now, it works perfectly.

Q: We are trying to hook up our DVD player to the projector. The video works great, but there is no sign of audio. Any suggestions?
A: You need an adapter or cable that goes from male composite to male stereo 1/8". Plug the stereo end into a decent set of speakers since the projector's built-in speakers are not good.

Q: Does it come with a carry case?
A: No, it does not come with any sort of carrying case. However, you can purchase the ViewSonic PJ-CASE-001 Projector Carrying Case separately.

Q: Does it have a reverse projection option?
A: Yes, it does flip the image upside down and allows you to project a picture from behind a screen.

Q: I plan on using this to show a PPT presentation from my PC laptop. Will that work? Also, do I need to purchase any additional cords?
A: Yes, it will work. No additional cords are needed besides what comes with the unit.

Q: I am wanting to project to a screen 15 feet away, will this projector be bright enough?
A: It depends on how bright your area is. If you are using it in a dark room, it should work fine. However, if you are using it in a lit room, you may want to spend a little more.

Q: I can't get the remote to work. Can anyone help?
A: Make sure the remote has fresh batteries installed correctly. If it still doesn't work and it's new, return the unit for replacement. If it worked previously and not now, most likely culprit would be the remote batteries.
