I’m very pleased with this Epson remote. It’s rather familiar, it’s the same one as Epson has been using for several projectors we’ve reviewed the last 2+ years.

One of the best things about the Epson remote control is that the range of the remote is very good. In my larger home theater, this remote has no problem bouncing off the screen to work, which is about a 26 foot range. Believe it or not, over half the projectors I review can’t handle that much of a distance with a bounce off of screen or wall, forcing me to point the remote behind me. Thank you Epson.

From the top: On the left side is a large round power button, and to its right, a small button for turning on the backlight. Next comes three rows of two buttons, one for each of the six sources. Below them, are the menu controls the four arrow keys in a circular layout, with an Enter button in the center. Above to the left and right are the Default and the Escape buttons. Directly below the arrow keys a large Menu button, all by itself.

That takes you to the bottom four rows of two buttons provide direct access to popular menus including user Memory, color controls, Gamma, Color Mode, Aspec ratio, and Sharpness. There’s also a test pattern button and one to blank the screen. Which they made the only darker button, I guess, to make its function obvious.
