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.
