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.
